4k Videos? (Patreon)

So I was gonna try rendering this next animation in Cycles (instead of Eevee like I have been for the entirety of this year) but I've ran into a bug that only lets me render using of my GPUs, if I try rendering on both it just spits errors at me. I've spent a trouble hours trying to fix it/find the cause/Google it but all I found were bug reports of people having the same problem and no fix. While my new 3090 is very powerful... it'd still take an estimated 50 hours to render this animation. I'd rather not go back to waiting that long (I was going to post a WIP today, but I spent my time doing that instead 🤷♀️) Maybe when Blender 3.0 gets farther along in development and gets more stable I'll try Cycles X again.
So instead I'm just gonna stick with Eevee. 1080p animations render ridiculously fast in Eevee with the 3090 (like 10 seconds per frame), and I also got infinitely better internet with a 4500% faster upload speed, so I could indeed render 4k videos now and upload them without it taking literal years.
But do people care about 4k videos? 🤔 They'd be 4k 60 FPS videos. I'd still make the 1080p versions though because 4k60 is pretty hard to run actually, my old PC couldn't handle them 🤪 It wouldn't really be much more effort for me, they'd take a bit longer to render in Blender/render in Resolve/upload but it wouldn't be too bad.
TL;DR Are you interested in 4k videos?
