Will 'Console Killer' PC's be dead for next gen?

I game at 1440p on my PC but unfortunately I highly doubt that will be an option. It looks like it's gonna be 1080p or 4K. And I just can't go back to 1080p so I'm going to buy a 4K monitor in a few months to mainly watch netflix on (I'll probably still game on my 1440p monitor cause high refresh rate) and have all my monitors connected to my PC whilst the 4k one will also be connected to the PS5 when that comes out. 

I just feel like XSX and PS5 would be amazing 1440p gaming machines instead of being stretched to 4k where most games that aren't racing games or shooters or cross gen titles will probably run at 30fps. (with a performance mode for 60fps  where the visuals aren't as good/ ray tracing etc.) 

Yea the road to 4k is a hard one on all platforms. The 3000 series and RDNA2 cards should do a lot better at 4k but mainly their top tier ones which will require a good amount of bling bling. What Sony/MS need are their own versions of DLSS and have those upscale from 1440p. If they can do that, it would do wonders instead of chasing native.

If there is an AMD equivalent of DLSS 2.0 then that would be huge but they would need time. DLSS 2.0 is a big jump from 1.0 so much so I'd probably not notice the difference in gaming. 

3000 series should have 4k sorted and hopefully RDNA2 as well but with ray tracing involved that eats into that performance on console which is why you need things like DLSS. So considering Ray Tracing is being pushed for marketing I think we'll have to wait for mid gen refreshes (if they even happen) to get 4k60 across the board.
