I am currently assembling parts for my new build (Astral 5090, 9950x3d, MSI Meg Godlike, etc.) and need opinions on monitors.

I mainly play online FPS games so need a high hz monitor and typically run 1440p. Has anyone had success with running a 4k monitor on 1440p for online FPS, but switching to 4k for single player games?

I see Asus has a new 4k 240hz ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDMR. would i be able to run this on 1440p at 240hz with no issues?

Or am i better off sticking with 1440p and not doing so on a 4k monitor?
 
Can't speak to that specific Asus monitor, but I have run my 43" 4K Gigabyte monitor at less than native 4K resolution, and it's okay, but not great. Now granted that resulted in running 1440p at 43" so that right away wasn't as crisp looking. I think generally speaking running at less than native resolution on a monitor always seems to compromise quality.

Given the components you've listed, your likely able to run everything at 4K anyway, unless you are in highly competitive online FPS games and really need every last frame of that 240 Hz. I don't play such games so can't comment.

If you are willing to build on the high budget it seems you are, perhaps two monitors could be used, one native 1440p and one native 4K? Then you could game on whichever one suited the game and resolution you wanted? Not an orthodox suggestion but maybe would work for you?
 
Forcing a standard 4k monitor to display 1080p is fine but 4k -> 1440p "can" be a little off.

But I kinda had the same thought as Lysrin, if your going to throw that much money at it get a dedicated 1440p 360/480Hz monitor and a 4k 240Hz.

1440p 480Hz... that just hurt my brain! :)
 
Competitively you want the highest frames possible. A really good 1440 would be my suggestion. That way you can turn up the quality settings and still get good frames. If your set on 4k definately entertain the OLED.
