  It’s the pervasive view because who the fuck wants to go to jail to help little pricks get drunk your view which I discern is based entirely on your hallucinations is nonsense

  Based on the screenshot I’m pretty sure you are are 150% scaling. Do you also describe yourself as a windows power user?

  You are completely high. I sell booze. You get personally fined, can go to jail, get fired, and have to tell your next employer you got fired for breaking the law and going to jail. Why on earth would anyone do that to… checks notes… help kids get drunk…

  Did you fall asleep in the 80s just wake up and find your way to a computer or did you just hallucinate that hey that dude looks shady he definitely sells booze to kids!

  Correct is UI elements including text graphics and controls displaying somewhere in the expected range for human use. Literally impossible on 180+ DPI machines without scaling

  This just isn’t even slightly true. I have 2 4K monitors and a 1080p one. I can visibly see that using either 4K monitor looks similar to the 1080p other than having slightly superior color fidelity on the 4K. That is the 4K looks BETTER than the 1080p.

  Intuitively I feel like you can trivially draw 1080p on a 4K panel by literally drawing 4 pixels for every 1 in the source whether that is the exact mechanics or not it is just plainly obvious that this isn’t so. I feel like people are thinking of older monitors drawing at non-native resolutions which are not exact multiples of native. I have literally never seen anyone’s 4K display be blurry displaying games running at 1080p which is common for performance reasons.

  I feel like the details add to the game and if I had more than enough hardware to run a given game I would enable the feature and could see my self using it much more so if a later evolution required less of a performance hit.

  Sorry saying it was brainless was rude. I just meant you can’t rephrase the performance hit metric as a proportion of frames because of the reasons I specified and because it’s an evolving technology

  I’m 99% certain that the following is true

  You said buying a 24+ 1080p screen looks like shit so you didn’t buy one.

  4K with 100% scale AND 80% browser zoom at 4K would be microscopic.

  Logically you have a 2K monitor. Basically you don’t understand the need for scaling for an obvious reason

  1080p 24" monitor from 2008 = 92 DPI 2560x1440 28" “2K” monitor = 104 DPI

  Meanwhile 24" 4K monitor = 184 DPI 14" 4K laptop = 315 DPI

  What you use is barely different and scaling doesn’t make sense.

  High DPI monitors are useless without scaling.

  Scaling does NOT turn your 4K screen into a smoother 1080p screen. Fonts are the perfect example modern fonts aren’t pixels they are resolution independent descriptions of shapes. One could draw an S as small as it appears as one you see in this comment or as big as your screen. As its drawn bigger and bigger the curve is drawn with more and more pixels and the letter has the same form and shape at any size.

  Whereas monitors range from 68-360 dpi you probably CAN read a 12 pt font at around 6mm on a monitor 12-18 inches away but probably CAN’T read it at 1mm because your eyes just can’t resolve or can’t comfortably resolve shapes below a certain size even with infinite pixels. It is possible you can read slightly smaller text which you can achieve by slightly tweaking font size in addition to scaling.

  EG you scale your 4K monitor at 2x but decrease font size from 12 -> 10 pt or whatever combination produces a pleasant usable experience for you.

  Similarly graphics aren’t degraded. Your 4K video isn’t scaled down to 1080p because you are scaled at 2x. Your environment gives your video player a rectangle to fill with pixels. The controls drawn by the app are scaled the contents are the contents of the video file as decoded. The same is true of graphics but because graphics aren’t resolution independent it depends on high enough resolution assets being available. Your browser given a 400x400 space to draw an image linstead of a 200x200 will draw a nicer image if one is available.

  TLDR: Scaling makes high dpi displays look nicer not shittier. Integer scaling is nicer and simpler but fractional scaling is needed for some less common resolution and size combos. Setting scaling and then tweak font size to taste.

  Pretty sure your impression is nonsense. People are drinking their asses off and tons of money are available to be made servicing that desire but get caught a few times selling to minors and you can get shut down and they actively send minors to buy. Even people who don’t care about ethics care about continuing to make money.

  Ya it absolutely looks like dogshit. It was amazing at the time. I imagine that in 40 years our current games will be comparatively shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Your math is brainless. Your monitor can’t display infinite frames. The majority of monitors can display exactly 60 others can display 144 165. If you have a 60 hz 1080p machine and a good GPU on some games you could still achieve 60 frames eg as much as you can have.

  At present with current tech the majority probably can’t turn it on and have acceptable frame rate but there is no reason to believe that the performance cost will be constant.

  Yes those hardened and dangerous…checks notes cashiers… will definitely put a hit out on them. You are supposed to check IDs. Nobody is trying to sell booze and cigs to kids its wrong. People generally do it by accident due to not following rules. You need to re-assess your entire value system if you think the “snitch” is the bad guy.

  Literally sees differently because he’s disabled scaling and set browser zoom to 80% both of which make everything smaller on 4K

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You have literally disabled the feature that makes fonts look correct on 4k and further shrunk the text by setting zoom to 80%. It’s not really a matter of opinion you are just wrong.

  if they had google where you live you could actually see demos of details you can see. Also describing something as a “majority of your frames” makes no sense. You either have enough performance to spare and it makes sense to turn on or you don’t in which it is interesting tech like ray tracing for the overwhelming majority of gamers.

  Given a reasonable amount of horsepower it makes sense to run your games in 4K. I was just pointing out that you CAN run a given game in 1080p if you don’t have enough juice and it won’t look worse than if it was running on a 1080p monitor. 4K is in fact great.

  Pretending that it doesn’t actually look better is just pure copium. It’s no more real than the flat earth.

  You don’t have to be wiling to spend on it but it makes little sense to pretend its not better.

  Modern gaming looks fantastic in 4K.

  You are almost right. It depends on viewing distance as you correctly noted the given viewing distance and screen sizes its pretty easy to tell the difference between 1080p and 4K in most people’s living room especially since big ass screens are cheap and big ass houses expensive.

  If you had to turn the res down so people can read it then you failed at basic computer usage. Resolution doesn’t dictate font size.

  4k monitors look fine rendering 1080p

  If you have a pixel

  1

  A 4K monitor can in the same physical space draw

  1 0 0 1

  Showing more real detail it can also display in 1080p mode

  1 1 1 1

  This is kinda weird since 4K monitors have no trouble drawing at 1080p and don’t look worse than 1080 monitors doing so.

  This comment is nonsensical AI hate. It’s a mechanical trick to produce interesting developer controlled detail that is hard otherwise to render directly. It might turn out to cost too much for much practical usage for years or forever or it might be sufficiently accelerated by hardware such that it becomes a mainstay this will be a function of what makes pretty graphics better not your hang ups.
