I have questions about the new screen that I am interested in buying
I have an Alienware 17 r5 laptop which has a gtx 1080 graphics card. I am connecting it to a 43 inch 1080p 60hz tv by hdmi. My tv is very old so I am planning on buying a new screen. I am interested in this 4k pc monitor 43" Odyssey Neo G7 G70NC LS43CG700NMXUE | Samsung Levant. My laptop is not powerful enough to handle gaming at 4k so I have to lower the resolution of the screen. I can set the screen to 1080p but the problem is that my graphics card doesn't support integer scaling so it has to rely on the scaling of the screen and when that happens the image can become blurry.
Reddit - Dive into anything talks about that. Is the blurriness really that bad or it's not and it depends on how observant you are?
Please see Integer Scaling - How to play crisp 1080p on 4k display (Windows 10) - YouTube. The video said that you have to set the windows resolution to 4k and then set the scaling in windows to 200% so it becomes like it's 1080p and then you have to set the game to 1080p. If I do that then what will the fps be? My laptop has an hdmi 2.0 port and display port 1.3. I know that hdmi 2.0 will limit playing games at 4k to 60fps. I am unsure about the display port. The windows resolution is set to 4k but the game is being played at 1080p so can I get more than 60fps? Or I can't get more than 60fps because the laptop is sending a 4k signal to the tv? Will the fps get affected if I connect the pc monitor by using hdmi or by using display port?
