1080p on 1440p

thinking of getting a new monitor but I know my graphics card is not strong enough to always play games at 1440p, is a 1440p monitor on 1080p really bad?

also my bad for not putting this in off topic, its a habit

yeah it is quite bad, cuz it's not 1:1 scaling

yeah, I don’t recommend it. stick to your current res and see if you can upgrade to a higher hz if your pc’s performance allows it.

unless you're planning on upgrading your gpu in the immediate future then stick to 1080p

just get 1080 with a higher refresh rate hz

I wouldn't do it tbh

1440 and 1080 don't divide cleanly so there'll be scaling issues

plus your typical 1440p monitors are 27inch, with 1080p on a 27 inch monitor you'll really notice the pixels

also want to ask this, what about 1080p on a 4k monitor?

maybe you can use some upscalers like DLSS or FSR

It sucks

Open Nvidia settings set to GPU scaling 1:1 and now you have only 1080 pixel that active and beside thats 1080 pixel it turn into black
