Toms Hardware article 4K60 Playlist Google Chrome only for 1440p60, 2160p60. I tested CPU usage with the Star Citizen video fullscreen. 2500k @ 4.7Ghz IE11(Win8.x): 1080p60 8% CPU peak. 0 visible missed frames. Still the benchmark. Chrome: 1080p60 41% CPU peak. many skipped single frames (not counted in "stats for nerds" menu) Very watchable. 1440p60 85% CPU peak. more skipped frames. in groups too. at least 3x more than above. (not counted in "stats for nerds" menu) Pretty watchable. 2160p60 100% CPU for the entire video. 8370/12179 dropped frames (68%)(These show up in "stats for nerds" menu) Completely unwatchable.

effort on the first draft means less effort on any draft thereafter - some loser

Can you guys tell me whether you see the difference between 1440p and anything higher?
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Yes, 1440p drops many frames. Anything higher drops 3/4 of them. On a more serious note, my monitor only supports 1440p. Also, once IE11 is supported, I am sure it will drop 0 frames at all video settings. Hardware acceleration is our friend.

On my end, watching it at 1440p doesn't seem to drop lots of frame, while watching at 2160p is chaos.

And what about visual picture quality?

I can definitely tell a difference between 1080p and 1440p on my 1440p monitor.

My question was about 1440p and higher stuff.

I prefer 1440p on 1440p monitor. 2160p has noticeable aliasing, which looks worse to me.
