FSR on 4K display with underpowered GPU (lemm.ee)

Currently using a 1440p 27", looking at upgrading to a 4K model mostly for dev work. I do occasionally game though but only have an rx6600 which obviously can't handle native 4K gaming. I'm wondering though if I just make use of FSR/Radeon Super Resolution I should be able to at a minimum get the same picture quality I'm getting right now with no loss in performance. Is that right?

Yeah, I play at native 1440p. I only have a 75hz monitor so I'm not getting crazy fps anyway.

From my understanding atleast 1440p or up is the ideal resolution for these technologies to upscale to 4k, but honestly i personally have no idea how it actually looks. I only ever tried fsr on my old vega card once with cyberpunk, but that was 1080p upscaled to 1440p and it looked pretty bad, really had that smeary vaseline look, but like i said, that was a lower resolution and also fsr 1. I think the only way to find out is to see for yourself if you are okay with how it looks. I don't know if you have the room for it, but maybe you could keep the old 1440p monitor around just for gaming if you end up disliking fsr?
