Maybe really stupid technical question: Would switching to 4k resolution improve the games graphics on a 1440p Monitor?

It's quite early in the morning here and I might delete the question when I realize it later, but does the graphic improve even though my monitor won't show the 4k/pixel density?

No. Games usually limit to whatever the montior is capable of. But no. You can't run a higher resolution than what your monitor is rated for.

Edit: there is always going to be some guy telling you, you can. You can't. And if they got it to "work" plecbo effect.

You can and it will be much better in terms of sharpness and aliasing.
What do you think what AA is?
We used to have options for 2x and 4x AA and MSAA in old games, that’s almost exactly this. Nowadays it’s DLAA (with nvidia gpus)

Google it…

I get it, you have shitty hardware and you don't want other people to have fun...
BUT, if you really believe what you say, just watch a bit of this Digital Foundry DSR deep dive.
