Debating a 1440p vs 4K screen.
If Im happy with 1080p for the time being, are there arguments against running 1080p on a 4k screen until video cards that can drive 4K become affordable?
The scaling shouldn't be an issue, and you get the advantage of 4K for non gaming uses. Plus for non demanding games 4K should be usable even now.
Given monitors are upgraded far less often than cards, seems like buying something like the well reviewed 4K BenQ 3201 now and playing your games at 1080p for a while is more future proof than buying a 1440p screen only to replace it in a year or two.
