The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - 1080p vs 2K vs 4K Graphics Comparison 4K Any ideas and suggestions about future videos are welcomed. Please write me on my channel.
You know what's ironic? The uploader of this video claims he is comparing 1080p vs. 2K vs. 4K. Where in fact he is actually comparing 1080p vs. 2.5K, vs. UHD.
Or if you plan on buying a a 32 inch monitor for up close gaming, or if you plan on buying a 60+ inch tv for mid range view gaming. 4K resolutions are the bomb if you have the screensize.
which is only applicable to those who can afford a $7,000 gaming setup anyway. Which is probably a few people. It's just not worth it right now unless you have a six figure job or high five figure job. I just spent 3k on my laptop (could've opted for gtx 1080 ti SLI) but I'm just not making enough to justify spending 3k on something JUST to game on. Would have to spend a good amount more for a desk, speakers and a damn good monitor. Maybe in a couple more years from now.
man whenever i look at details up close in a game lime this i cant help but be blown away by the fact that this world isnt real or naturally made. like...some dude went through and made each one of those little details. anyone who says this isnt art is an idiot
Yeah, Games like Witcher 3 are real Art, nobody knows, how much work this is taking, and how much expertise and skill is needed for this, and than people cry paying 60€ for games like this!
well that because you don't even understand what "art" even mean. There is a difference between, hardwork, art, talent, and eyes catching product. Art is just a product of artist expressing their feeling/emtion. In this case, they arent trying to express emotion or ****, they just try to make it look realisetic, passionate and workhard! Im not saying its not impressive, I'm just saying u are an idiot.
both the 1080p and 2k videos are run on a non native resolution monitor whereas the 4k is. this means the graphics will look fuzzy on the 1080p and 2k videos. on 1080p or 2k monitor these videos would be much much clearer. for those not in the know, this is a scaling issue and can be fixed by tweeking settings for apps/games under properties
The most intriguing thing noticeable was the massive drop in framerate from 1080p - 4k, or 2k - 4k. The choppiness was real. 2k seems to be the limit on your system w/o ridiculously low framerate. Must have been around 30-45 fps, which, to me, is noticeable and unacceptable when gaming. Verdict: 2K is the ideal happy medium.
Also, for fastpaced gaming like an Fps or other such, reponse time and refresh rates are far more important than resolution. Ideally, 1 ms response and 144hz (or higher) refresh rate. Resolution makes it look better, while response time and refresh rates make turning/twitch 'ghosting free', no tearing, and smooth as silk, like real life. Higher res is for visual embellishment. I prefer 2.5k and 4.5k. Higher than 4.5K isn't all that noticeable, as 4.5k is just about as saturated with pixels to reflect the real world as you'll ever really need. Higher res IMHO is just for people who have money to burn for bragging rights. Simple eg. are people who have a Bugatti. Does anyone NEED one? No. Would it be cool to have one? Sure, if you have $1.5m to drop on a single car.
the massive drop in framerate is due to his graphics processor. didnt have anything powerful enough to render those 4k textures. hell its 2019 and my RTX 2070 struggles to keep my frames consistently above 40 on a 4k monitor
@@funkdahmental My gtx 1080 ti 11gb oc is pretty good in 4k, but i love to use mods and reshades so i limit some games to 45 fps, but rdr 2 on 4k in 40 fps is really smooth
" every single human even cripples have done." im not sure thats better than what he said, considering it sounds like your saying that if someone takes pitty on a crippled dude and has sex with him/ her, then anyone can (atleast thats how it sounds, i could be wrong) but it sounds like you meant it in a nasty way; sorry, im just asking if you could clarify what you meant? cause it doesnt sound better then what he wrote.
I think that the difference is not worth it. Especially 2k vs 4k. We do not use microscope while playing to see all these small details, so you just do not notice them.
Wow, the difference at distance is amazing. I cant wait for tech to get affordable enough to run 4k at 60fps. You might actually be able to see more than a blur when looking far down the road.
IM PLAYING THIS GAME IN 1440P ON MEDIUM OVER 60 FPS. COULD DO HIGH BUT WILL GET 60 FPS. I SHOULD BE HAPPY I AM TO PLAY IT AT 1440P INSTEAD OF 1080P ULTRA.
1440p is the best because it is the perfect middle between 1080p and 4k. Wont break the bank either but still looks gorgeous and better than standard FHD.
Man the difference between 1440p (refered here as 2k) and 4k is HUUUUGE and before zooming in! My eyes definitely appreciate 4k while some other dont notice that much of a difference
I can see the clear difference even on a 1080p monitor. The grass is a blurry strip on 1080p, while in 4K it's possible to distinguish different batches of grass.
Good comparison showing the difference I noticed when I switched. People are acting like 4k is unacheivable or something. 4k TV on sale $400 - $500, not $1000 +. More like $1500 - $2000 for a PC to run it well, not $7000.
1080p, when you care about gaming. 2k, when you care slightly less about gaming and more about beauty. 4k, when you care only for beauty, no matter how many fps you lose, or people you leave dead and bloodied along the way, just so long as you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist!
So, is this a video only people with 4k resolution monitors can/should watch? For ex: I'm watching this video on a 1080p res monitor, with the video settings on 1080p... This shit is just too complex for me to break down lol... I wanna say at the end of the day I can only see what my monitor (forget my eyeballs) is able to show..? Ah whatever.
4K is the most perfect one, but more expensive. Since my RTX 3060 can't really handle 4K I choosed to buy a 2K monitor from Samsung Odyssey G5, very proud by owning it.
Did you testing the 1080p and 2k on a 4k monitor or on their each own native monitor? I can understand when you set lower res than the monitor native res, they will tearing apart (blurry)
1080p vs 4k in a vlog would be a thing featured in a video titled on the lines of... "if you spot the difference you're a genius - 1% of the world spot the difference"
Great video demonstration, I really appreciated the zoom ins. You can see a considerable difference between 1080p & 4K. I'm sold , I'm going to invest in a 4K tv now & pre order the Xbox one X. Thank you.
This video mainly shows you the discrepancies of resolution in tune with graphic settings. The zoom is just to show how different resolutions can filter out bad aliasing, you guys are being a bit over critical. Great video I think the difference is massive!
yeah, most people that 2k is 1440p but 2k is 1080p, 2160p is 4k which is 2x height and width of 1080p so how come 1440p is 2k to some people, it's just 100% false
Yeah 2k and 4k are both, techincally incorrect. 1440p often gets mistaken for 2k when 2k is the cinema version of 1080p which is 2048x1080, and 4k is actually 4096x2160. Desktop resolutions and movie resolutions are differentttt
fuck up. jesus. every 1440p monitor is marketed as a 2k monitor. Whether the pixels and shit line up is irrelevant. It's titled "2k" monitor. Most 5L v8 engines aren't truly 5L, they just round it up to be a nice, even number. Why don't you write an angry email to every manufacturer ever, and demand they change the description of their 2k monitors to 2.5k, as THEY are clearly wrong.
There is a big difference to me. The noise and blurriness on the bottom is a lot more pronounced than the top one in 4K and this does not even take into account the much faster frame per second rates on 4K's or the fact that they also have HDR while 1080 screens do not. I also have bad astigmatism and the difference is still big.
This video was posted 4 years ago. Still 4k is too resource hungry, people still need to buy a top of the line gpu. I think it is pretty clear, 1080p is the way to go for at least another 5 years.
i thought my game had problem with grass/trees texture. turns out 1080p sucks balls. had to use dsr to game on 4k to fix the texture problem. gta 5 grass looks better on 1080p
You dont really notice those little details unless you’re the type of gamer that just walks around and be amazed by the graphics instead of playing the actual game what you do really notice is the fps going from smooth to wtf
Playing at a resolution that is above Full HD is simply a total loss of performance, because in practice you won't notice these minimal differences for resolutions above Full HD...
Yeah, Games like Witcher 3 are real Art, nobody knows, how much work this is taking, and how much expertise and skill is needed for this, and than people cry paying 60€ for games like this!
you wont be able to see the difference unless your monitor supports 4k, and to see the difference you cant leave it at 4k and compare it. You gotta change from 1080 to 2k to 4k and look at each slide on its said resolution to truly see the difference
got a 144hz for multiplayer shooter games 4k for singleplayer games or a few online games where the refresh rate doesn't matter and another standard 60hz monitor for whatever is open that i don't want on my main monitors like discord for example true way to go guys
Great video man. 4K will be the next big thing in gaming. Looking forward to 4K TV technology to become more affordable. And of course PS4 Neo και Scorpio to come out.
Если все тесты проводились на одном мониторе 4к просто понижая разрешение, то да, качество будет настолько уебищное, что б показать: " ну нихера ж себе, пойду брать!"
they do it so if people have lower res screens they can still see not everyone has a 4k screen to show the number of pixels it has compared to lower ones you cannot show 4k properly on a 1080p screen because you can not change the physical pixels of a screen without a new one with a higher amount of pixels so they zoom it in so you get a better idea of it for the pixel density, people used to complain there is no difference between HD and 480p back when hd was entering the market and it is happening again and it will continue to happen with 8k and 16k res until they get it and then they try going back from 4k to 1080p and they cannot because it looks worse i play at 4k and most if not all the stuff i do on my screen is 4k if it is lower i see the difference and it looks worse just as it would be worse going from 1080p to 480p
I own a 55" 4k tv, and the difference between 4k and 1080p is literally indistinguishable from beyond 4 feet away. Your eye literally cannot distinguish the pixel density unless you have beyond 20/20 vision
This isnt my opinion, this is the actual science behind display tech. If you have 20/20 vision you cannot see a difference between 1080p and 4k on a 4" screen unless your face is 4" away or closer.
good video. People without 4k displays though will never know the color difference though lol. My mind was blown when I loaded up Witcher III in 4k. Everything is so much more vivid.
Well, 3840 × 2160 is sometimes called 4k. So taking a guess, mathematically, 2k, at the same aspect ratio is therefore 1920x1080. So that's not how to do it. I could average 3840 and 1920, but that's not 1440p either. So 2k does seem to be a confusion resolution name for 1440p
@@michaelbauers8800 yep, the creator of the video don't understand what is 2K and 4K and 1440p. "2k" is the standard cinema industry resolution wich is 2048 x 1080, it's near to full hd, it's 2.3Mpixels 1440p is a pc resolution : 4x720P basically, named QHD because Quad HD, 4 time the HD ready standard (720p), we could name this "3.7k" because it's 3,7Mpixels. and "4K" is the cinema industry resolution wich is 4096 x 2160 and is near to UHD wich is 4x1080p and it's 8Mpixels. Simple as that.
I don't like the term 2k, i just doesn't represent 1440p properly, 4k doesn't have twice the pixels on the 'y' plane. Probably why '2k' never caught on.
It has roughly 2 times the pixels overall, and 4k has 4 times the pixels of 1080p overall. 1080p = 2mil pixels, 2k = 3.7mil pixels (85% more is damn close to 100% if you ask me), 4k = 8 mil pixels.
4K gamers be like: oh a bunch of enemies are approaching, wait a minute, let me appreciate how sharp and smooth this wooden cart looks mmm...and these bushes ohh yaaah.
I hope everyone realizes you won’t see a difference unless your monitor is 4K. Also, 1080p becomes blurry at around a 24” screen, so any less than that...
Frank Black yea yea and some people say that the human eye can’t see above 24 fps yet I can clearly see if something is 144fps or 24fps and I can see if something is 1080p, 1440p and 2160p, more detail is present the higher your pixel density is.
Depends. 4k only at 32", and only if you have a strong gpu and plan to play games like Tomb Raider, Cyberpunk, Witcher. It will be gorgeous. If you go for 27", 1440p is enough, though it will not have the sharpness of a 4k display. But if you play a lot of multiplayer games and enjoy being good at it, 144hz is the way to go.
2K is 1080p. Just like 2160p is 4K... 1440p is not 2K... to be honest 1080p is not 2K just like 2160p is either not 4K. You call it FHD and UHD.. 1440p is QHD. You cant call 3840x2160 a 4K Resolution.
All of this makes sense *UNTIL??????.....* You have played on 1080p 240hz display. And then.... You will sell that 4k 60hz monitor and your left nut, to get a 240hz monitor. I did.......
do you know whats ironic

You know what's ironic?
The uploader of this video claims he is comparing 1080p vs. 2K vs. 4K.
Where in fact he is actually comparing 1080p vs. 2.5K, vs. UHD.
2560x1440 is 2.5k gaming.
1920x1080 is 2k gaming
takes 4 1080 for 4k 2x2 = 4
takes 4 4 k for 8 k gaming 2x4 = 8
and still notice the difference.
2560x1440 is 2k -_-
1920x1080 is just 1080 or fhd. Noone calls it 1k or 2k
Ten-eighty is easy to say, not like forteen-frorty or twenty one-sixty.
4k, perfect for when you play a game in 80% zoom mode.
Or if you plan on buying a a 32 inch monitor for up close gaming, or if you plan on buying a 60+ inch tv for mid range view gaming.
4K resolutions are the bomb if you have the screensize.
just hook it up on your tv, works almost as good as a monitor plus its free (if you have one)
which is only applicable to those who can afford a $7,000 gaming setup anyway. Which is probably a few people.
It's just not worth it right now unless you have a six figure job or high five figure job.

fuck up. jesus. every 1440p monitor is marketed as a 2k monitor. Whether the pixels and shit line up is irrelevant. It's titled "2k" monitor. Most 5L v8 engines aren't truly 5L, they just round it up to be a nice, even number. Why don't you write an angry email to every manufacturer ever, and demand they change the description of their 2k monitors to 2.5k, as THEY are clearly wrong.
There is a big difference to me. The noise and blurriness on the bottom is a lot more pronounced than the top one in 4K and this does not even take into account the much faster frame per second rates on 4K's or the fact that they also have HDR while 1080 screens do not. I also have bad astigmatism and the difference is still big.
1080p is nice but i'm on 720p screen
Scares me how realistic 4k is wow! We wouldnt be able to tell the difference from 4k and irl....
I think 4k vs 1080 p is huge diff but 2 k is mhe
I hate it when people make videos about 4K resolution when their rigs can’t handle it. 4K looks like shit if you aren’t getting good frame rates.
You know that 2k is not 1440p?
Just Google "2k in pixels" and u will see that 2k is 2048×1080 while full hd is still 1920×1080
When you just jumped onto 1080p 60fps a year ago and now everyone is talking about 1440p 144hz...
This video was posted 4 years ago. Still 4k is too resource hungry, people still need to buy a top of the line gpu.
I think it is pretty clear, 1080p is the way to go for at least another 5 years.
What would you go with 4k 60hz or 2k 144hz
i thought my game had problem with grass/trees texture. turns out 1080p sucks balls. had to use dsr to game on 4k to fix the texture problem. gta 5 grass looks better on 1080p
You dont really notice those little details unless you’re the type of gamer that just walks around and be amazed by the graphics instead of playing the actual game what you do really notice is the fps going from smooth to wtf
Playing at a resolution that is above Full HD is simply a total loss of performance, because in practice you won't notice these minimal differences for resolutions above Full HD...
Now theres not much 4k montiors with 144hz, enough brightness nits to enable the hdr, low contrast ratio.....
Soo i guess 2k is the sweetspot
1440p is 2.5K, 1080p is 2K. PC Marketing screwed with people.
Yeah, Games like Witcher 3 are real Art, nobody knows, how much work this is taking, and how much expertise and skill is needed for this, and than people cry paying 60€ for games like this!
Just recently started playing games at 2160p and i am in awe the whole time i am playing.
you wont be able to see the difference unless your monitor supports 4k, and to see the difference you cant leave it at 4k and compare it. You gotta change from 1080 to 2k to 4k and look at each slide on its said resolution to truly see the difference
I have to admit, the difference between 1080p and 4k is insane. Night and day difference.
got a 144hz for multiplayer shooter games
4k for singleplayer games or a few online games where the refresh rate doesn't matter
and another standard 60hz monitor for whatever is open that i don't want on my main monitors like discord for example
true way to go guys

Great video man. 4K will be the next big thing in gaming. Looking forward to 4K TV technology to become more affordable. And of course PS4 Neo και Scorpio to come out.
4k TV worthless imo...projectors are the future!!!
Except those consoles arent half as powerful as a GTX 1080, which can barely keep up with 4k Witcher 3.
Если все тесты проводились на одном мониторе 4к просто понижая разрешение, то да, качество будет настолько уебищное, что б показать: " ну нихера ж себе, пойду брать!"
Watching from my 720p cellphone screen!! Looks incredible!!

Remember those days when you DIDN'T have to zoom in so much to get a good reolution comparison?
they do it so if people have lower res screens they can still see not everyone has a 4k screen to show the number of pixels it has compared to lower ones you cannot show 4k properly on a 1080p screen because you can not change the physical pixels of a screen without a new one with a higher amount of pixels so they zoom it in so you get a better idea of it for the pixel density, people used to complain there is no difference between HD and 480p back when hd was entering the market and it is happening again and it will continue to happen with 8k and 16k res until they get it and then they try going back from 4k to 1080p and they cannot because it looks worse i play at 4k and most if not all the stuff i do on my screen is 4k if it is lower i see the difference and it looks worse just as it would be worse going from 1080p to 480p
its hard to see a real diferrence watching this video on fullhd display and in fullhd quality resolution
Literally I didn't found any difference without zoom
difference from 2k to 4k on a 27 inch is easily noticeable and much better. at least from how I use it around 80cm away.
how we can see 4k when our devices not support 4k screen
chris a screen that small will not let you see any difference in pixel quality unless you are using binoculars or have superhuman eyesight
I own a 55" 4k tv, and the difference between 4k and 1080p is literally indistinguishable from beyond 4 feet away. Your eye literally cannot distinguish the pixel density unless you have beyond 20/20 vision
Apple's displays are 1080p on 5.5" and it is already beyond the limit of the human eye
This isnt my opinion, this is the actual science behind display tech. If you have 20/20 vision you cannot see a difference between 1080p and 4k on a 4" screen unless your face is 4" away or closer.
You don't lol
good video. People without 4k displays though will never know the color difference though lol. My mind was blown when I loaded up Witcher III in 4k. Everything is so much more vivid.
Chris Sanders Though
1080P = 2K
1440P = 2.5K
Well, 3840 × 2160 is sometimes called 4k. So taking a guess, mathematically, 2k, at the same aspect ratio is therefore 1920x1080. So that's not how to do it. I could average 3840 and 1920, but that's not 1440p either. So 2k does seem to be a confusion resolution name for 1440p
@@michaelbauers8800 yep, the creator of the video don't understand what is 2K and 4K and 1440p.
"2k" is the standard cinema industry resolution wich is 2048 x 1080, it's near to full hd, it's 2.3Mpixels
1440p is a pc resolution : 4x720P basically, named QHD because Quad HD, 4 time the HD ready standard (720p), we could name this "3.7k" because it's 3,7Mpixels.
and "4K" is the cinema industry resolution wich is 4096 x 2160 and is near to UHD wich is 4x1080p and it's 8Mpixels.
Simple as that.
When i was a kid... I saw 1080p not that pixelated😢
I don't like the term 2k, i just doesn't represent 1440p properly, 4k doesn't have twice the pixels on the 'y' plane. Probably why '2k' never caught on.
It has roughly 2 times the pixels overall, and 4k has 4 times the pixels of 1080p overall. 1080p = 2mil pixels, 2k = 3.7mil pixels (85% more is damn close to 100% if you ask me), 4k = 8 mil pixels.
2K never caught on just because is so similar to 1080p (True 2K of DCI is 2048x1080)
4K gamers be like: oh a bunch of enemies are approaching, wait a minute, let me appreciate how sharp and smooth this wooden cart looks mmm...and these bushes ohh yaaah.
i do read a lot of people saying that there is almost no difference between 2k and 4k. Are they blind? 4k is much crispier even without the zoom
1440p is more than enough between 24' and 32'
I hope everyone realizes you won’t see a difference unless your monitor is 4K.
Also, 1080p becomes blurry at around a 24” screen, so any less than that...
Thats why he zoom in.unless other useless 4k comparison videos he's zooming in for you to see difference even if you have 4/2k monitor.
gtx 1080 sli or single ?
you can run the game at 4k 60fps on max? thats pretty damn impressive
1080 baby
titan x(p).
Non of thise will play HDR. Nvidia new GTX cards with HDR will release on March 2017. Your graphics cards sucks today.
Woah really bro, I was going to buy a GPU is this really when NVIDIA will release their new GPU?
Did we get a 4K video resolution, 30 frames per second? And 1080 60 frames per second? Please explain
Wants to do a comparison of 4k/2k/1080p and uploads it at 1080
Watching on my 1080 monitor
How ironic, I'm watching this from an iPad Mini 1 which can't show the difference between all of these because the Resolution caps out at 720p
i dont really mind 1080p, all i want is any resolution 60fps not 4k 30fps
Me watching this trying to see the difference but only got 480p on youtube be like: 👁👄👁
I can't tell the difference between 1080p, 2k and 4k unless I really concentrate to look at it. Unless you really zoom it in.
At 1:1, the human eye with 20/20 vision cannot discriminate above 1080p. The difference only matters when the images are magnified.
Source please
Andreas Look Google it. I learned it in medical school.
Frank Black yea yea and some people say that the human eye can’t see above 24 fps yet I can clearly see if something is 144fps or 24fps and I can see if something is 1080p, 1440p and 2160p, more detail is present the higher your pixel density is.
Here everyone is discussing about resolutions and I'm here thinking about how to earn money
Sayyed Naveed Make youtube videos that compare 2k to 4k.
and should ı buy a 144 hz 2k monitor or 4k 60hz
Depends. 4k only at 32", and only if you have a strong gpu and plan to play games like Tomb Raider, Cyberpunk, Witcher. It will be gorgeous. If you go for 27", 1440p is enough, though it will not have the sharpness of a 4k display. But if you play a lot of multiplayer games and enjoy being good at it, 144hz is the way to go.
@@99Ctube thanks u really help me
*comparison between resolutions*
Me: *Watching the video in 380p*
2K is 1080p. Just like 2160p is 4K... 1440p is not 2K... to be honest 1080p is not 2K just like 2160p is either not 4K. You call it FHD and UHD.. 1440p is QHD. You cant call 3840x2160 a 4K Resolution.
I just tried 2k few weeks ago came from 1080p, now I don't wanna go back. planing to buy pc. 4k is too much sacrificing fps and expensive.
1440p (2k) at higher FPS (100-160fps) is WAAY better than 4k at 20-40 FPS.
Honesly i don't so much differences from fhd to 2k, but 4k is a way different
All of this makes sense *UNTIL??????.....*
You have played on 1080p 240hz display.
And then.... You will sell that 4k 60hz monitor and your left nut, to get a 240hz monitor.
I did.......
you're pc is struggling like hell at 4k and a little at 1440p. gtx 970? my gtx 1080 just about manages ultra on 1440p
ive got an R9 380. it can handle 4k but it struggles slightly.
maybe at 45fps
