As someone who was excited about 4K gaming when it was on the horizon, I'd like to go on the record and say 8K is pointless marketing fluff. You won't be able to notice unless you're so close to the monitor you can't even see most of the picture.

@endrift but if you run 4K with "AI upscaling" to 8K you won't notice any upscaling artifacts

@noiob you're still running at 4K at that point. It'd...effectively just be fancy AA.

@endrift yup but AMD can claim their numbers are for 8K gaming

@noiob Then it's just marketing fluff. Which lends evidence to my original point.

@endrift yeah sorry I wasn't arguing, just joking around

@noiob I mean, I gathered, but it's...pretty much just the marketing fluff directly in the joke.
