    I personally think anything over 1080p is a waste of resolution, and I still use a card with 8GB of VRAM.

    That being said, lots of other people want a 16GB card, so let them give you money AMD!

      My gaming rig is also my media center hooked up to a 4k television. I sit around 7 feet away from it. Anything less than 1440p looks grainy and blocky on my display.

      I can’t game at 4k because of hardware limitations (a 3070 just can’t push it at good framerates) but I wouldn’t say it’s a waste to go above 1080p, use case is an important factor.

          Pixel density is pixel density. Doesn’t matter if it’s a tv or a monitor.

          Sure monitors typically have less input lag and there are reasons one might choose a monitor over a tv, but the reverse is also true. I chose a 55" tv for my sim racing setup that sits maybe a meter from my face and there’s no problem with that setup

              Not sure what you think PPI means or how it’s calculated, but it has nothing to do with being a tv or a monitor. It’s a relationship between the number of pixels and physical size.

              A 34" 1440p monitor will have a lower PPI than a 4k TV at the same size

      1440p on a 27" monitor is the best resolution for work and for gaming.

      But but Nvidia said at the RTX 3000 announcement that we can now have 8K gaming
