One thing that 1180p very clearly is not is 2160p (aka 4K), and yet when it came to crunch time, I opted against visual fidelity and opted for the PS4 Pro version. What’s even the width of that resolution? 2060 or something? No idea. On PS4 Pro meanwhile, I’d be restricted to 30fps at “1180p.” 1180p? What even is that? In all my years of messing around with game resolutions-from the days when 800 x 600 seemed like the pinnacle of pixel density through to 4K, via the venerable PC monitor realm of 1440p-I’ve never so much as noticed 1180p. If I went for the PC version, benchmarks suggest I’d probably be playing the game at around 70fps at a pure 4K resolution. It’s a sturdy old warhorse, but it’s starting to show its age.

In the other, I’ve got a PS4 Pro, still managing to somehow stay relevant and capable of running the latest current-gen games, but slowly starting to be phased out by the very latest releases. In one corner, I have a solid gaming PC endowed with a GeForce RTX 3080, capable of running Diablo 4 at the kinds of searing frame rates that even current-gen consoles can only dream of.

When picking my platform of choice for Diablo 4, I was faced with a dilemma.
