Comparing visual quality of games at HD and UHD

[Quartz]

I have a 4K IPS 24" monitor and a 1200p IPS 24" monitor on this PC. Is it possible to shadow what's on the 4K monitor to the 1200p so I can directly compare the visual quality? Ideally I'd like to run something like Tomb Raider's benchmark or Borderlands 2's attract screen on both at the same time. Then I could sit back and compare and contrast the two.

Edit: I'd want the 4K monitor running at 4K, and the 1200p monitor running at 1200p, possibly via DSR.

183 PPI dude v 94 PPI is 95% so you are pretty much doubling the pixel density. I would like to sometime do this myself because im curious how far off is your IQ versus mine? I recently moaned about this hehe and always do but PPI is the #1 thing i value not graphics because styled can look good as long as its got the resolution. Think about games like Team Fortress 2 or L4D2 in 2018/2019 in 8K or something stupid it will still look fantastic because PPI makes graphics ageless imo. Vintage games will become like old portraits it will still look fantastic no matter when it was made.


So you should see the difference night and day its night and day for me when i go from 1920x1080 to DSR 3840x2160 but you have to know DSR only works well when there is 4X native res and 0% smoothing. This should be compared at Driver level HQ settings Clamp AF 16AF etc but you can kiss goodbye to the need for AA mate. Although i can still notice on mine with DSR that 2xMSAA makes a diference at 4K DSR does it at 4K native too? Thats the beauty about it for me the HUD's that are too clunky and big become managable and the graphics in games with no AA (Overwatch etc) become so much better. Ideally you need to find a map with lots of foilage and just do it by memory. You would have to be a bat not to see a 95% increase
