A new study published in Nature by University of Cambridge researchers just dropped a pixelated bomb on the entire Ultra-HD market, but as anyone with myopia can tell you, if you take your glasses off, even SD still looks pretty good :)

It really depends. I managed to play Cyberpunk 2077 at 4k on my old 1080ti with 30-50fps, and thanks to having a nice monitor and knowing how to tune graphics settings, my roomie that had a 2080 gtx was complaining that mine looked better. lol

Anything that's not crazy levels of fidelity can be tuned to work totally fine at 4k on modern graphics cards. Every generation (that has more than 8gb of gRAM, anyways...) since the 1080 has been more than capable of 4k gaming with some settings tweaks.
