I have a MSI GTX 980 Ti. Recently I upgraded to a 4k monitor, the BenQ BL3201PT, which has a 3840x2160 resolution. My old monitor was an HP 3065LP, which had a resolution of 2560x1600.
I noticed an odd trend playing games at 4k resolution on the new monitor: games seems to run smoother. I tried Fallout 4, Shadow Warrior (2013), and COD: Black Ops III. The computer seems to have much less of a hard time rendering and keeping things smooth.
What gives? Can't be placebo effect, as the effect is quite noticeable. The refresh rates on the monitors are both 60Hz, and I run with all details maxed out. Only thing that has changed is the monitor.
