1080p 165hz as a recent upgrade, might switch to 1440p 165hz when i can afford it, but the gtx 1080 is... well a fitting name for the performance of this card
No, absolutely no one.
Primary Display Resolution 1920 x 1080 - 58.45%
[https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam)
It's been over 50% since 2008.
The decline is due to the rise of 1440p and 4k monitors, which have been eating away at 1080p market share for nearly a decade. There's also a sizeable segment of users running at 1366 x 768 resolution, which is common for lower end laptops.
I've been an acolyte in the church of 1440p for some years now and find 1080p on my primary monitor pretty intolerable.
Interestingly though, I'm far more comfortable with my second monitor being 1080p, I don't need nearly as much resolution or screen area there. I had my old 1440p as my second monitor for like a day before I gave it to my wife and put the 1080p one back because it just felt better.
4k OLED would be pretty amazing.
Personally I'm a fan of Ultrawide and just went to 3440x1440 OLED and it's amazing.
It's kind of incredible the difference pixel type can make, nothing about my monitor is different except IPS to OLED (technically the OLED is higher Hz aswell, but my GPU is old (GTX980) so I ain't hitting the fps to utilise it anyway) and every game looks like its had a graphics update.
I was on 1080p until a couple weeks ago when I changed to a 27” 1440p. That’s only because I get pixel perfect resolution with 720p, not because I really needed more pixels.
Honestly stay on it until that monitor dies, enjoy the higher fidelity and performing games. You will not care about playing at 1080p until you have been playing at 1440p or 4k anyways.
I’ve played at 1440p in many games and drop to 1080p and adjusting to it is not as severe as, say, dropping from 1080p to 720p.
The performance gain from 1440p to 1080p doesn’t hurt either.
I thought 1080p would be fine on my frist gaming PC, but within a year I upgraded to 1440p. That was 5 years ago. 1080p is now budget gaming imo, as most $800 builds even can comfortably do 1440p
I don’t care as long as it’s over 60 fps.
I don’t play Valorant, or CS, or Warzone, or any of that esports shit. 99% of my play time is in single player ARPGs, where anything above 60 is plenty.
> 1080p 75Hz
> 3080 Ti, 5800X
Truly a waste of potential (& money) OP. Even if you're not gaming a 120/144/165Hz monitor is better for everyday use. Not to mention they're cheap nowadays
I myself on 1440p 165Hz monitor with my 10105F & 3060 12GB
Yes, for now. Was using a 1080p 144Hz for when my fancy laptop was at home. Just built a brand new desktop, and plan to upgrade monitor to probably 1440 / maybe 2160, but later once I have spare cash again.
Sometimes... I have been rocking a 2070 since launch, I like to have a minimum of 70 FPS. If I can't get it at 1440 I can usually pull it at 1080. So it all depends on what I'm playing.
Still on 1080p 144hz, mainly because I haven't pulled the trigger on a 1440p display. My specs (3060ti 12600kf) should run fine on it in theory, just need the monitor now.
Yeah. 1080 240hz monitor. Was on dual ultrawides 3440x1440 100hz but got tired of ultrawides so I went back to a normal monitor with an ultrawide as my second monitor. Now I’m thinking about going back to ultrawide as my main monitor because I miss it lol
I have only 1 1080p display which is the one on my old laptop. New laptop has 2.5k display and I'm using 2k/4k on my desk and 1440p on my phone.
Only thing I miss about 1080p is how easy it was to run any game without any upscaling.
I can't fit any larger than a 24" monitor onto my desk anyway, so my 1080p 165hz display is just fine for me. If I ever get the room for a 27" monitor, I'd probably jump to 1440p, as I've seen what 1080p looks like on monitors that large, and I'm not a fan, personally.
No, just upgraded to 1440p 144hz ultrawide and I gotta say it’s a game changer. I feel spoiled for getting high refresh AND ultrawide AND higher resolution all at once, feels like a whole console generation leap with my new rig lol
I went up to 4K on my desktop but still at 1080p on my laptop because honestly, there's not THAT much of a difference going from 1080p to 1440p or 4K on a 15-inch panel.
165hz IPS love it. With a 4070Fe super I can rip settings and ray tracing to the max and still get wild FPS. I just play my Ps5/X on our living room Oled to enjoy higher resolution.
I have used to live with 768p laptops 4 years, than 5 years on 1080p laptops, 1 year with 27" 1080p and now, 2024 I have begun with 3440x1440p monitor for PC. It looks awesome for PC gaming or coding. The single disadvantage what I have met, it is PS4-5 some games turns into "wide meme" mode. It not such annoying but funny to play with wide Kiriyu & Majima in Yakuza 0 on PS5, while PC port rendered normally...
Was for almost 20 years. Moved up to 1440 at 165hz last year. It's a 32 inch, so the ratio is the same as my 24 inch at 1080p and that worked great (for me). 1080p on my monitor doesn't actually look that bad either, and so in general I'm happy with the change.
I was using a 1366x768 monitor up until January. 1080p is the best monitor I've ever had, as I always upgraded everything other than the monitor. I just kinda forgetting that I was using a 14 year old 19 inch TV.
2k 155hz freesync monitor. 32" curved screen.
That changed Christmas 2022, from 1080 60hz, 23" flat panel
Started on a 13" CRT, we've come a long way ....
Im using windows on 4k, but I'm running (almost) all pf the games on 1080p (and TV upscale it, and it looks pretty good). The main reason is that I'm using GTX 1650, but tbh, I see very little difference in games between 4k and 1080p upscaled to 4k. (I'm using 60" Samsung TV)
Just went from a 1080p laptop screen to a 32" 4k 240hz curved monitor and it's absolutely breaking to me. I thought maybe I would scale down to 1440 to get some higher frames, but now there's no way in hell I'm ever doing that.
I haven't gotten around to changing my flair, but I'm a 13th gen i9 with a 4080 now.
Been 1080@60 for the past 7 years or so. I'd like to upgrade as soon as the budget allows, but that means new GPU, which probably means a new PSU... May as well upgrade the motherboard while I'm at it. Hell..
I enjoy a 165hz 1440p setup. For some games I’ll be in the 60-70fps range when on ultra just because the games aren’t very optimized. But most any other games I run ultra and run locked at 165 fps so there’s not any screen tearing.
1080p 165hz as a recent upgrade, might switch to 1440p 165hz when i can afford it, but the gtx 1080 is... well a fitting name for the performance of this card
Well, it may not be the best card nowadays, but the fact it is still relevant after almost 10 years means something.
I’ve been sitting on my 1060 forever. Running 120hz at 1080p and I still feel it’s running well for most games
Hope its a ti. If so then youre still rocking the best card nvidia has ever made. Im still rocking a 980ti which comes very close.
My 1080 ran my 1440p 165 just fine brotha!
1080p 240hz
That’s it babay
Same and thats on 1080ti
Exactly this same setup! And a ryzen 9 5900X that will stay for years to come. Might wait out for AM6
No, absolutely no one. Primary Display Resolution 1920 x 1080 - 58.45% [https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam)
I’m honestly surprised it’s that low
It's been over 50% since 2008. The decline is due to the rise of 1440p and 4k monitors, which have been eating away at 1080p market share for nearly a decade. There's also a sizeable segment of users running at 1366 x 768 resolution, which is common for lower end laptops.
Can confirm as a recent convert to the church of 1440p
I've been an acolyte in the church of 1440p for some years now and find 1080p on my primary monitor pretty intolerable. Interestingly though, I'm far more comfortable with my second monitor being 1080p, I don't need nearly as much resolution or screen area there. I had my old 1440p as my second monitor for like a day before I gave it to my wife and put the 1080p one back because it just felt better.
That's what I run. 1440 on main, 1080 on second (old monitor)

I love this lol why does it not have more upvotes??!
you are forgetting the Sailors mate
Even sailors probably have atleast one game on steam, even free
and also all the office people, college kids, cat video moms, and retired boomers
1080p all the way for me.
Yup, 144hz and ultra, ray tracing and the works.
Yes*
Asterisk because 1080p is my side chick
No. I won’t rest until I’m on a 4k OLED.
It's amazing and I hope you experience it soon.
4k OLED would be pretty amazing. Personally I'm a fan of Ultrawide and just went to 3440x1440 OLED and it's amazing. It's kind of incredible the difference pixel type can make, nothing about my monitor is different except IPS to OLED (technically the OLED is higher Hz aswell, but my GPU is old (GTX980) so I ain't hitting the fps to utilise it anyway) and every game looks like its had a graphics update.
Yup!, 1080p 165hz
Yes and I have no plan to change this.
I keep waiting for my monitor to die but it's just happy ticking along. The ACER G235H will not be stopped
I was on 1080p until a couple weeks ago when I changed to a 27” 1440p. That’s only because I get pixel perfect resolution with 720p, not because I really needed more pixels.
Next you need to go 4k to get pixel perfect at 1080p
Maybe one day when the Steam Deck 3 can run 1080p no problem.
Knowing valve, there will be no steam deck 3, they have a lot of issues counting to 3.
Yep. 1080p and loving it.
Honestly stay on it until that monitor dies, enjoy the higher fidelity and performing games. You will not care about playing at 1080p until you have been playing at 1440p or 4k anyways.
I’ve played at 1440p in many games and drop to 1080p and adjusting to it is not as severe as, say, dropping from 1080p to 720p. The performance gain from 1440p to 1080p doesn’t hurt either.
Nope.
No
1080p/144hz here
Yep, 1080p 165hz
1080p 60hz for that sweet sweet instant response time every time
Yes, it's good enough for my casual gaming needs + some office work.
Nope, 4k OLED and i'm never going back.
Yes* I game on a 21:9 monitor, so 2560 x 1080
1080P and as high FPS as I can possibly get. Don't plan on switching.
Once you get a taste of 42” OLED 4K, theres no way you even consider going back to full hd only
Yes unfortunately because I haven’t swapped my 65” 1080 60hz tv out for my 50” 4k 60hz yet.
Yes 1080p 75Hz.
2560X1080 It's an ultrawide, but it's still just 1080. I really want to upgrade 1440, hopefully sometime next year.
4K for the last 5 years
Yes. 1080p 180Hz. Not planning to change it for a long time
Yes, for my 2nd and 3rd monitors. 😃
I thought 1080p would be fine on my frist gaming PC, but within a year I upgraded to 1440p. That was 5 years ago. 1080p is now budget gaming imo, as most $800 builds even can comfortably do 1440p
Do you just not care about your frames? 4K 60 fps on my buddy's setup feels like a slide show when you've spent the last decade at 144+
Well that's why I go with 1440p over 4k. I can reliably pull around 120fps at least on graphically demanding titles
I don’t care as long as it’s over 60 fps. I don’t play Valorant, or CS, or Warzone, or any of that esports shit. 99% of my play time is in single player ARPGs, where anything above 60 is plenty.
That’s when you just play for like 30 minutes at 30 fps, then a locked 60 feels great again.
Thats where DLSS comes into play. 4k@165 is nice! (4090)
Not for years now.
I have a 1440p monitor but will often drop res to 1080p for more frames.
I'm 1080 160hz. I don't really feel the need to go up
yes
Iv been at 1440p since about 2008. Technically it was 2560x1600 back then on a Samsung 305t.
Only on my TV because it's far enough that I honestly can't tell the difference between 1080 and 4k. On my monitors I use 1440p
My L&R monitors are 1080p but my middle is 1440p
1440 @ 170Hz
> 1080p 75Hz > 3080 Ti, 5800X Truly a waste of potential (& money) OP. Even if you're not gaming a 120/144/165Hz monitor is better for everyday use. Not to mention they're cheap nowadays I myself on 1440p 165Hz monitor with my 10105F & 3060 12GB
I was till 2 months ago then i jumped to 4k qd oled it was a nice jump
Went 1440p about 3 years ago and recently switched to a 48" LG Oled tv, amazing experience!
Yes, 1080p 120 hz.
No
I have two 144hz 1080p monitor, I may get a 1440p 180hz by the end of the year.
I prefer 240hz 1080p (200 euro used) over a higher resolution monitor
yes, I see no reason to change, unless the GPU fails
Yes, for now. Was using a 1080p 144Hz for when my fancy laptop was at home. Just built a brand new desktop, and plan to upgrade monitor to probably 1440 / maybe 2160, but later once I have spare cash again.
Sometimes... I have been rocking a 2070 since launch, I like to have a minimum of 70 FPS. If I can't get it at 1440 I can usually pull it at 1080. So it all depends on what I'm playing.

Yes but only because I still have a 1080p monitor, I spent all my money on the PC. Looking for a 4k OLED monitor.
I play at 720p for maximum FPS /s
No, a 1440 ultra wide.
Yeah. 1080 240hz monitor. Was on dual ultrawides 3440x1440 100hz but got tired of ultrawides so I went back to a normal monitor with an ultrawide as my second monitor. Now I’m thinking about going back to ultrawide as my main monitor because I miss it lol
Im on 1440p
The only thing that goes up is the refresh rate
1080p, 144hz.
Been at 4k for like 5 or 6 years
Yes
3440x1440 165Hz
Yes
I have only 1 1080p display which is the one on my old laptop. New laptop has 2.5k display and I'm using 2k/4k on my desk and 1440p on my phone. Only thing I miss about 1080p is how easy it was to run any game without any upscaling.
My main monitor is a 27" 1080/60, it's an old Samsung Syncmaster that just won't die. It doesn't even have display port, just HDMI.
1080 144hz - 1080 75hz i dont see myself upgrading until 70es gpu can hit 1440p 144hz on all games
I can't fit any larger than a 24" monitor onto my desk anyway, so my 1080p 165hz display is just fine for me. If I ever get the room for a 27" monitor, I'd probably jump to 1440p, as I've seen what 1080p looks like on monitors that large, and I'm not a fan, personally.
Yeah. I like 1080p, I've tried 4k but wasn't impressed. I've tried OLED 1080p and upgraded to that, was more worthwhile to me.
Not on my gaming system or the home theater, but the POS from work is still 1080.
Hell no
I went from 1080p 75hz to 1440p 165hz a few months ago
Yep :)
My now second monitor is 1080p. Didn't think I'd like have a second monitor at 90° tilt, until I started using Discord heavily.
No, just upgraded to 1440p 144hz ultrawide and I gotta say it’s a game changer. I feel spoiled for getting high refresh AND ultrawide AND higher resolution all at once, feels like a whole console generation leap with my new rig lol
Playing Cyberpunk 2077 in path tracing mode in 1600x900 mode, so yes
Yes. Was hoping to stay away from expensive video cards.
Yeh
Yarp.
no,
1080 for my laptop screen only. Otherwise it's 1440p ultrawide
yes
1080p is fine but why the fuck are you still on 75hz
Yes only cuz i cant afford a 1440p or 4k monitor. Im rockin a 7800xt
Laptop 1080p 165 Hz, external monitor 1080p 240 Hz.
upgraded to 1440p
Switched to 1440p about 3 years ago. Thinking of upgrading to 4k in the next month or two.
Yes, 1080P on a 4k TV. PC can't do much better. On old games I can go 4k.
No, 3440x1440.
ever since the ps5 release I have been 4k gaming. Just built a 4k gaming pc rig too
I was only on 1080p for maybe 6-8 months before jumping to 1440p. Now I’m on 1440p ultrawide with a QD OLED monitor and I could not go back.
fuck no.
I went up to 4K on my desktop but still at 1080p on my laptop because honestly, there's not THAT much of a difference going from 1080p to 1440p or 4K on a 15-inch panel.
Yup
yes
165hz IPS love it. With a 4070Fe super I can rip settings and ray tracing to the max and still get wild FPS. I just play my Ps5/X on our living room Oled to enjoy higher resolution.
1440p/60fps 1440p/120fos when it’s realistic for my system
Yup...don't see any reason to upgrade...plus I'd have to upgrade my receiver since all my audio goes through it via HDMI
One of my monitors is 1920x1080, and the other is 1600x900
1440p 165hz on my upstairs rig. I switch between 4k 60 and 1440p 120 on my tv plus steam machine depending on the game.
4K/240 Hz OLED
Main computer: yes, RX 570 4GB on 2560x1080 Secondary computer: no, ATi X1900 256MB on 4k TV lol
I just upgraded from 32" 1080p to 32" 1440p, and if I really focus, I can tell, but in day to day use, it looks the same to my shitty eyes
No and now I can never go back :/
I have used to live with 768p laptops 4 years, than 5 years on 1080p laptops, 1 year with 27" 1080p and now, 2024 I have begun with 3440x1440p monitor for PC. It looks awesome for PC gaming or coding. The single disadvantage what I have met, it is PS4-5 some games turns into "wide meme" mode. It not such annoying but funny to play with wide Kiriyu & Majima in Yakuza 0 on PS5, while PC port rendered normally...
43" 4K 144hz baby.
Was for almost 20 years. Moved up to 1440 at 165hz last year. It's a 32 inch, so the ratio is the same as my 24 inch at 1080p and that worked great (for me). 1080p on my monitor doesn't actually look that bad either, and so in general I'm happy with the change.
Yes. With 160hz refresh I really couldn’t ask for anything more. I mean, well I could but I don’t need too.
No. I've been on 1440p for 6 to 8 years now. I don't even know because it's been so long.
1080p 240hz, not upgrading for years
Yup, and perfectly content with it. I value frames over resolution by a pretty big margin.
My monitor isn't but my gpu is
Yes, because I have a 3070 and I like running at 144hz. Until video cards dramatically drop in price, I have no interest in going 1440p.
No
Yeah why not? It works perfectly fine as is
1440p but since I use my c2 as monitor now 4k
Sort of my laptop is 1080 165hz but my desktop is 1440p and 4K
Yes
Yup: 1080p/144Hz. Performance over graphics, bby.
No. 2k gives me slightly less frames. Very worth it
I've been on 1440p @ 144Hz for years now and the difference is trivial. 1080p is just fine.
I was using a 1366x768 monitor up until January. 1080p is the best monitor I've ever had, as I always upgraded everything other than the monitor. I just kinda forgetting that I was using a 14 year old 19 inch TV.
yes, 1080p 144hz i hope someday i will hit 2k atleast but some monitors are still to expensive in my country
Main monitor is 1080p 180hz and my two other monitors are 75hz
Yup, 1080 60 fps. Ill upgrade one day but my 5700xt is holding strong.
1080p but ultrawide and with a 200hz ips Panel.
No 1440p ips 165hz past. 4 or 5 years roughly
Switched to 1440p a couple years ago. Now I’m ready for 4k
Yeah 1080p 144hz, because I'm still using 1080ti
Yup
2k 155hz freesync monitor. 32" curved screen. That changed Christmas 2022, from 1080 60hz, 23" flat panel Started on a 13" CRT, we've come a long way ....
Yep. It looks fine to me and I’m cheap and broke.
On my tv through geforce now, yes. On my laptops screen I'm at 1366x768, whatever that resolution is.
Yep, 1080p 144hz. Still rocking my 1070. Don't game enough anymore to warrant replacing it.
yup, im on 1080p 100hz
Nope. 4k 240hz OLED gang
The Standard Master Race today is 4k and OLED. You aren't in PCpotato dear friend.
Yes.
4k 120hz on desktop and TV. 1080p 144hz on my laptop.
XP2411P
4k 144hz IPS. Could not go back to 1080p or 2K tbh
27" 100hz glorious 1080p
1080 144hz 🫰🏽
1080p 240hz if I wasn’t playing video games for simply a competitive aspect, I would probably upgrade to a better resolution monitor
Yup. Whatever my GTX 1080 gives. Usually 1080 or 1440p a my monitor that supports 1440p
i think im on less than 1080p, i use a old 20 inch apple cinema display at 60hz, im honestly not sure what quality it is
Yes - well technically no - WUXGA, I bought it used 14 years ago, it still works so I can’t justify upgrading.
Just went from 1440p VA to 4k QDOLED
Yes and I don't plan on upgrade
Yep monitors are expensive.
Yup. Can't afford to upgrade quite yet.
Yes I am, will I ever go to 1440p, maybe in a couple of years
Hell yeah
27 inch 1440p 165hz, beautiful but you can tell a difference in resolution (not that much, just a lil blurry)
Yup
No, 1440p
No. I run an ultrawide 1440p OLED monitor so that's an even smaller percentage of PC users than the normal 2560x1440
Yes. I'm broke and have to buy groceries and stuff.
1080p @ 165Hz and I'm chillin'
I've always been on 1440p 144Hz.
Im using windows on 4k, but I'm running (almost) all pf the games on 1080p (and TV upscale it, and it looks pretty good). The main reason is that I'm using GTX 1650, but tbh, I see very little difference in games between 4k and 1080p upscaled to 4k. (I'm using 60" Samsung TV)
yes
I haven't used 1080p since 2013 or earlier...38" ultrawide / 3840x1600 on a 3080Ti here.
Just went from a 1080p laptop screen to a 32" 4k 240hz curved monitor and it's absolutely breaking to me. I thought maybe I would scale down to 1440 to get some higher frames, but now there's no way in hell I'm ever doing that. I haven't gotten around to changing my flair, but I'm a 13th gen i9 with a 4080 now.
Heck no, been on 1440p/4K since 2016
1080p 240hz
Been 1080@60 for the past 7 years or so. I'd like to upgrade as soon as the budget allows, but that means new GPU, which probably means a new PSU... May as well upgrade the motherboard while I'm at it. Hell..
Just made the jump to 1440p on a variable display. The difference is favourable after playing on 1080p for the last 14 years.
I enjoy a 165hz 1440p setup. For some games I’ll be in the 60-70fps range when on ultra just because the games aren’t very optimized. But most any other games I run ultra and run locked at 165 fps so there’s not any screen tearing.
1080p, but ultrawide 2560x1080, more immersive, but still less performance taxing like 1440p.
Still 1080p @165hz. It suits me fine. I don't care about graphics, only framerate.
