1440p on a 4k TV

Basically I'm happy with my PC performing more like a PS4 Pro/Xbox One X.

I assume this means the display (LG OLED) is doing the final upscale to 4K, but it looks fine. 1080p was clearer was clearer than 1440p, and it allowed me to turn on more advanced graphics features like ray tracing.

1080p clearer than 2k? How come?

Integer scaling looks cleaner. When you scale from 1080p to 4K, that 2x upscale makes every 1080p pixel occupies 4 pixels at 2160p. 1440p looks softer when it scales up to 2160p since it is a multiple of 1.5, but you can get more detail so it’s a bit of a trade off. Since I can also push more frames at the lower resolution, it’s a better choice for me.

Right, integer scaling is another option I could try

Never mind, this $600 card is $1000 everywhere..
