Hey GAF. So I have a gaming PC with an overclocked 980 Ti + i7-6700K. I also have an XB270HU 165hz, IPS, G-Sync monitor.
However, some of my preferred gaming is sitting on my couch on my living room's 4K TV, which my PC is hooked up to by means of a long HDMI 2.0 cable, providing full 4K/60fps. As we all know, a single 980 Ti is not enough to push 4K at much above 30-40fps for most modern titles. In my case, Witcher 3.
So I'm faced with a choice. Play at 4K/30fps, maxed minus HairWorks, or tone down my TV resolution to 1080p and play at a nice, comfy 60fps with HairWorks.
To be clear, the 4K option is a locked 30fps without dips at absolutely max graphical fidelity. 1080p would allow me to turn on HairWorks and lock the FPS at 60. I am having a hard time making a decision -- the crispness and beauty of 4K is pretty jaw-dropping, and 30fps feels good enough to me, considering I do a considerable amount of gaming on my PS4 as it is.
What do you prefer, PCGAF? 1080p60 or 4K/30? Which do you think is better and why?
