What's the difference between 1080p and 2K?
- smcgaw 6y agoThe higher the resolution you run a game at the more likely it is that the GPU becomes the bottleneck for the frame rate.
- 0-_-0 6y agoNothing, AFAIK
- komodo 6y ago2560x1440 is often called "2k"
- manigandham 6y ago2K has no official designation and is sometimes used to describe 1440p.
- overcast 6y ago78% more pixels at 2560x1440, also the performance sweet spot for high end GPUs.
- p1necone 6y agoGenerally GPU load scales with resolution and graphical fidelity, while CPU load mostly just scales with framerate irrespective of resolution or graphics settings - so you might be CPU bottlenecked at max settings 1080p with an average CPU and a mid-high end GPU, but even with the current highest end GPUs and a mid range CPU you're likely not bottlenecked by the CPU at 1440p or 4k because the GPU isn't pushing out as many frames.
- fulafel 6y agoNearly the same thing, give or take a few percent. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution)
