Presumably, this is at 1080p, which looks terrible after you experienced 4K. It's better than nothing, and I probably wouldn't build a 4K rig in this market, but let's not pretend you can get a modern gaming experience out of that old hardware.

In my humble opinion, 4K gaming is rather overrated. I find high refresh rates at 1440p to be the sweet spot and you don't have to get a top-end GPU to drive it at ultra settings in games.
Not just "rather overrated", it's completely overrated. There just isn't a big difference in visual quality with 4k. It is primarily driven by companies trying to sell gear, not by it actually looking better.

You really need to get your eyes checked.

If I could buy a 1080p RGB stripe OLED for my next monitor, I would.
