Is upgrading downwards similar to rewinding it forward, or highering it up?

I've got 1080p AOC 144hz g-sync monitor and I'm a bit sad now that I didn't save more and got 1440p. My main problem is aliasing in GTA V. is it really much less noticeable on 1440p than even 1080p x4 msaa? Should've waited for Dell's g-sync monitor? cause now it's eating me. I was avoiding 1440p because of massive QC issues as well. I have a single 970 and didn't plan to upgrade it until pascal.

I find x2 MSAA and fxaa to be enough for 1440p and not that much more taxing than x4 MSAA at 1080p. TBF I'm playing games that are getting on a bit now: FNV, Skyrim, Far Cry 3

It's perfectly acceptable to upgrade downwards if you're happy with downwards upgrading from your previous downgrade, but going up from down and downgrading while upgrading doesn't make a whole lot of sense, unless it's an upgrade from a really bad upgrade that was actually a downgrade which you hoped would be an upgrade upwards but was in fact an upgrade downwards... but a new downward upgrade can fix all that. But yeah, you ideally want to upgrade upwards.
