I do like 4k personally, I like the extra clarity and distant details you can see, and the crisp text and icons are nice to have as well. Especially with a big monitor, it feels quite immersive in games and gives you a lot of desktop space to use too. It’s definitely a luxury though compared to 1440p, which is a much better price/quality ratio. It’s taxing on performance too, but my 7900xt can run most anything I play at medium/high at ~90+ FPS, and I tend to be pretty picky about framerate as I’m sensitive to input latency. Certainly not a low end card, but far from a 5090 or even 5080, and games still look great since medium/high usually still has a plenty of eye candy enabled. With upscaling like FSR and DLSS, you can drop the res slightly too and still have a pretty much native experience since you’re still working with a very high quality input, but that can help give a nice performance boost.

I’d still recommend 1440p to most, but it’s not too difficult to have a great experience with 4k, you certainly don’t need OPs level of hardware for it. I played for months with a 5700xt even, and while it sometimes struggled, it was playable enough at low/medium settings to have a nice time. I upgraded to the 7900xt mainly because I fried my 5700xt and it wouldn’t stop crashing ahaha, otherwise I would’ve waited longer most likely
