Why does 4K have such a poor adoption?

Why does 4K have such a poor adoption?

it's 2022 and less than 3% of steam users are gaming at this res.

1080p had like 25% adoption rate by 2012, altough being a new and somewhat difficult to drive resolution back then.

4k is not a resolution anyone can pull with their gpus and even then no one wants to play at 60 fps still if they have the choice

144hz > 4k

1440p is good enough and I really don't want to lose massive performance just for a higher resolution

Diminishing returns. The gains from 1080p to 4k are only going to be felt on much larger panels, and the cost to performance / VFX settings are not worth the trade off.
1080p became the norm in during the 7th and 8th gen because everyone was so obsessed with it that they were willing to significantly compromise other aspects to achieve it, such as the 30FPS standard on consoles

And you can also just downscale 4k anyway, looks about the same in a monitor

4k is great for certain games, but really you can fake it with AA and not push your gpu as much.
personally i'm waiting for 8k as that's going to be great for emulation filters.

gaming at 4k too expensive for the average person.

you lose half of your fps for just slightly less pixelated background and some sharper text
honestly it would be fine if gpus were stronger than they were but performance jumps arent huge anymore and even then i'm waiting on new panels that make it worth it anyways

And PCKikes will have the audacity to shit on consoles

sub 1080p upscaled checkerboarded

4k, 144hz, hell even fullHD are retarded television standards no true pc gamers would use. 99% modern pc gamers are console nigger refugees.

>99%
>11.48%
I don't know where you're getting your math but I think you need to recalculate

because PC players didn't fall for the 4K meme and recognize higher framerates are better

Sitting at a desk in front of a 1080p monitor is the equivalent of me swiveling my chair around to look at my 55-inch 4K TV behind me. Though honestly, 1080p looks just fine on that thing too.

Noone cares about 4k besides autists

Because it's glitchy as fuck and even with a 6700XT my computer burns itself up trying to run in 4k even on mid settings, cooling simply can't keep up with gpu programmer bloat on 4k.
2k runs great on like every card
Also improper or no text scaling, especially on older games, makes it impossible to read things without burning out my retinas in 4k sometimes

Too expensive, not worth it, higher refresh rate and lower latency are way better for gaming.

true pc gamers use 1920x1200 or 1600x1200. or any of the crt super resolutions
