Agreed. They are pushing 4K for marketing, but if developers largely aimed for 1080p, 60fps with HDR, the games would probably look a lot better, especially since most people do not have a 4K TV that they sit close enough to to even tell the difference.

It kind of makes me sad.

1440p might be a nice middle ground for people with 4k TVs. Depends how much antialiasing you can drop when you bump the resolution. Personally I'd be fine with chrckerboard rendering if it looks good in practice and allows higher quality graphics. True 4K could be reserved for VR.

Yea. 60fps is tricky though, because the CPU is not twice as fast. With that GPU power you could render at 60fps at 1080p, but your game simulation might have a hard time reaching that speed.
