Not at all. Most games let you scale it the way you want it, and when you scale down to 1080p, you can have better FPS, which in my opinion is even better than 4k and makes a bigger dent in both the flow and looks of the games. I would recommend using a 4k TV though, as anything less probably doesn't have HDMI 2.1.
