So, if you can already treat your 4K screen as a native 1080p panel for gaming, what’s the point of a dual-mode screen? There are several reasons, but the key one is refresh rate. If you have a 144Hz 4K monitor, using integer scaling to run it at 1080p will mean you’re still stuck at 144Hz, when the latest 1080p gaming monitors are considerably faster.
