Yeah I don’t see 8K delivering any value. My eyes can’t resolve past 4k anyway, it’ll just be heavier on the GPU and it won’t get me a damn thing.
Sure, 64k ought to be enough, yada yada. That doesn’t apply when you’re running up against biological limits though.
Can any console even run actual 4K yet? Not just upscaled 1440p at reduced framerate?
Plenty of games give you the option of resolution/detail or frame rate.
No PS1 games they could upscale to 8k?
Who the fuck wants to waste that much processing power on what’s essentially indistinguishable from 2k with a nice AA or upscaler (like DLSS or FSR) for a tenth of the processing power? It’s literally pointless and was thrown on there probably by marketing so people can see bigger numbers.
I hate Linus, but he did a great bit l On the 3000 series graphics cards hitting 8K. And how ridiculous it was

Which Linus?
(edit) Either I poked at a sensitive spot or people no longer appreciate sarcasm. Of course not everybody within the fediverse will have a homogenous opinion on the Linuses, Richards, or Gabriels of the world. I’m making fun of the people who will rush like zealots to the defense of some public personality whenever a negative opinion is expressed, and don’t pretend there’s not a fuckass load of such people around here.
So here, if you still need it: /s.
