1080p vs 1440p at gaming

[GTFOOH]

Hello everybody
i was wondering... will i notice the difference between a 1080p and 1440p at gaming?

i play everything maxed out including anti-aliasing on my 144hz 1080p monitor with my gtx 980 ti and it looks fantastic

but i planing to buy an "asus rog swift"
but i'm not sure if i will notice the difference !!

what is your opinion? is it noticable enough?

Screen resolution and size are interdependent. 24" and smaller monitors 1080 looks fine. 27" and up and you can start to see the pixels again.

Budget, size, and your PC's details/performance will help people make recommendations.

I have an ASUS VE278 I think, 27", 2ms, 1080p. It was pretty high end when I bought it. 2560x1440 monitors were very expensive and 1920x1200 was still around. I've always been able to see the pixels from a sitting distance. But now that I am shopping for a G-sync monitor I have seen a few 2560x1440 27" monitors in person. The difference is pretty noticeable, even in a windows desktop.

If you are talking games and media consumption. You don't really notice it. IPS for color, TN for twitch gaming.

1080p = 2073600 pixels
1440p = 3686400 pixels
More pixels, larger area, higher pixel density.

I really enjoyed the jump from 1080p to 1440p 144hz gaming. Everything in much clearer.

Looking forward to 2016's next gen 16Gb HBM cards for the jump to 4k, high frame-rate gaming....

I have a 4k Monitor and i've played a game at all 3 resolutions to see the difference.

I found that there was a small improvement going from 1080 to 1440 my subjective % would be 15% improvement in perceived quality.
going from 1440 - 2160 my subjective % is 40% and no need for AA.
