In my humble opinion, 4k is a bit of a joke. I pick a high as possible frame rate over 4k any day of the week.

    With AAA game graphics, 4K is kind of silly.

    It kind of makes sense on consoles with fixed hardware when the devs design specifically to hit that target.

    On a PC, I think high framerate 1440p is a much more reasonable goal, but frame generation and upscaling are sold to consumers like some magical solution to poor performance instead.

    Yeah I tried playing Dispatch on my TV in 4k, and it sounded and felt like my laptop was going to catch on fire.

    Lowered the TVs resolution to 1080p, and the game looks exactly the same and the fans barely even turn on.

    That could be an optimization issue though I guess.

    4k is 4x the resolution of 1080p, so that's not totally surprising. Good thing you did this too, because I was reading some comments just the other day about people's gaming laptops failing because of repeated/prolongued overheating.
