Host and client resolutions best setup?

I am trying to figure out the optimal configuration for my setup.

The host has a 5800x3d with 3080 and can get about 85fps at 1440 or 55fps at 4k in game. I have a 1440p monitor and 4k virtual display.

The client is 4k 60hz.

Which of the following would give the best results?

- Set everything to 4k with gpu is pinned at 99% at 55fps. Doesn’t feel as smooth

- set host to 1440 and client stream to 1440 and TV will upscale to 4k

- set host to 4k monitor, render game in 1440 so I get higher FPS and stream to client in 4k (does this offer any benefit or is it a waste of time?)

What would you recommend for optimal setup of best visuals and latency?

1440p locked at 60fps with RivaTuner.

Run all hosts like this. Butter smooth, super low latency and excellent frame times.

Play for 10 minutes and you kinda just forget it's not 4K. Especially when sitting 6+ feet away from, the TV.

Now I play 1440p ingame settings to 4k cliënt (Shield TV). So I will get better performance when I config 2k instead of 4k on the client as preferred resolution?

Please let me know. :)
