4k monitor advice

[Darkwolf441]

I've bought a 4k monitor but i'm start to get the feeling i should have gone with a 1440. But got the 4k at a good price.

Problem is with 4k and i'm only running a Asus 1080 strix overclocked and water cooled. dont think it got enough grunt for high setting and is struggling.

Question is
I have three connections at the back HDMI 30 and 1 for 60 fraps. the others a display port which am using with free-sync on 1440 setting.

I was wonder if i ram it on the 30 fraps HMDI will this be better for my GPU or stick with the display port but am running this on a 1440 setting?

or run it at 4k but lower the settings in games.

Selling the 1080 and getting a ti isn't a option at the moment

No difference if you run it on the dp 1.2 port or the hdmi 2.0 port.
I wouldn't run a 4k monitor on the hdmi 1.4 port as you're then only limited to 4k@30hz
When I had my 4k monitor, I still ran my games at 1440p (with a 1080ti)
