Question 144fps+ w/ 2080 and 8700k at 1440p?

[leyo96]

Hello,

I'm building my first pc and I bought a RTX 2080 and a I7 8700k (delid) that I will overclock.

I'm so undecided on which 144Hz monitor to buy. 27 in 1440p vs 24 in 1080p.

My question is: will I be able to hit 144fps plus on most games at 1440p to consider spending the extra money on a 1440p monitor?

I mainly play fps games, lately a lot of Apex Legends and I always go back to Csgo and Pubg.

I value fps more than graphics of course.

Thanks

I run a 6600k/2080, mainly ultra settings, and usually well over 100 in 1440. On most games. Few will stay around 80. If you're ok turning down a few settings, you may very well get close to that 144.

I only care about getting more than 144fps 😀

It's very very game dependent.

Overwatch: Yes | CS:GO: Yes | Apex Legends: Yes with low settings | PUBG: Yes with low settings | Fortnite: Yes | Call of Duty: Yes with tweaked settings | Battlefield: Yes

You should be able to determine what games you can run based off of what I gave you.

Apex legends low settings 1440p is better than ultra at 1080, right?

I'd take 1080p high settings over low 1440p settings IMO.

I’m playing apex med to high settings at 1440p with a 2080 over 100fps just need to play with the settings.
If your looking at 1080p you will be more cpu bound and might be worth looking at a 2070.
