Native 4k isn't really necessary for modern games. 1800p with decent upscaling tec, is almost indistinguishable from native 4k. Devs can use the GPU for more effects etc than push pixels. Like going from 1800p to 4k is just over 30% more pixels. And upscaled 1440p internal resolution is only a bit softer in details than that.

Though for less demanding games with an underutilized GPU, then why not. Go ham on 4k with bells and whistles.

The need for 4k will vary depending on a variety factors like your own eyesight acuity, panel size, panel quality, distance from the display, environmental conditions (I.E Dark vs Light room.) and rendering techniques employed. (Like Anti-Aliasing.)

Thus some users will notice a visual difference between 1800P and 4k.

Yeah there are other factors in it as well but I don't think the tiniest hit in IQ is worth the performance deficit. Its getting a to a point of good enough, like this article that tests AMD's image sharpening tech. I very much doubt most would even discern a difference even when put side by side; but even then why are those people even playing on consoles :P
