Do 1080p games look worse on 4k?

Do 1080p videos look bad on 4k TVs? No, they look OK. There's good reason for that: 4K aka 2160p
2160p
2160p resolution
The term "2160p" could be applied to any format with a height of 2160 pixels, but it is most commonly used in reference to the 4K UHDTV resolution of 3840 × 2160 due to its association with the well-known 720p and 1080p HDTV formats.

4K resolution - Wikipedia
has exactly 4 times bigger pixel count than 1080p, so when upscaling, every pixel from the 1080p source is rendered by exactly 4 pixels on 4K screen.

Why are ps5 games not 4k 60fps?
Why can't the PS5 do 4k 60 FPS? PlayStation 5 cannot directly pull off 4k 60 FPS simply because of hardware limitations. 4k resolution takes a lot of VRAM to process, and hardly any graphics card can do 4k 60 FPS with Ray Tracing enabled. However, PlayStation 5 can pull off 4k 60 FPS on many games.

Should i get a 3070 or 3080 for 1080p gaming?
1080p. As you'd expect, at 1080p resolution both the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 perform exceptionally well. If you're only gaming at 1080p, it's difficult to recommend the 3080 over the 3070 given its (theoretically) 30% higher price tag—unless you're playing at very high refresh rates.
