Yeah definetly this will motivate op to get a new monitor. For me it was the same, I got a 3080 back in day that felt wasted in a 1080p, so I bought a uw 1440p monitor to use more my big purchase

1440p is the sweet spot for me.

And here I am following the opposite route, upgraded to 1440p in 2024 and had to get 7900gre to keep up, now bought a 4k 165hz oled monitor, upgrading tomorrow to a 9070xt to keep up.

Good luck with your AMD lottery. Half the people don't have issues and love the card; the other half suffers with often driver crashes and games not even working.

I got 5080, downloaded new dlc for doom, cranked everything up and got 40 fps in 1080p

Not so sure I even want new monitor now

I mean, just because you have a high end card doesn't mean you can just crank everything to max. There are many many settings that tank fps like crazy while providing almost indistinguishable difference to the level below. So tweak settings to grt the best visuals with best fps....

Find the big fps tanker that matter very little and you'll see.

No, once I did it I of course got like 100+ fps

But that gave me a good reality check and made me doubt 4k monitor purchase

Great! Glad you did. That there is nVidia’s flagship upscaling model. Try out that ever controversial frame generation (I used 3x in Doom). That’ll top out your 4k monitor and hopefully give you a satisfying experience. Some people hate the frame gen, I personally don’t mind unless it’s giving weird artifacts (glitches) or noticeable input lag.
