[SOLVED] 4K or 144/240 HZ

[killamaching190876]

Hello everyone. I hope this is the right place but I am currently running an i5 8600k, GTX 1080 but am getting the 2080 with liquid cooling. 16 Gb ddr4, 1TB SSD, and a z370 aurorus mother board. My question is I am getting the new graphics card with a monitor but I dont know if I should go with 4K or a high refresh rate. I currently have a 1080P monitor with a 60 Hz. I usually play FPS but I also really enjoy fallout and things like that so I’m an all around gamer. What do you guys think? I was also seeing that there’s 240 HZ? I thought it can only go up to 144?

Thanks guys!

There is no such thing as a 240hz 4k. Also the RTX 2080 will struggle to push 4k anywhere near 144fps. You'll be lucky to break 60fps.

Well it’s not 4K 240HZ. I was saying I saw a 240 hz or a 4K but I don’t know if I should go with the higher refresh rate or a 4K with 60 hz

A nice all around monitor would be a 144hz 1440p w/G-Sync.

Would that be better than 4K?

Depends on your definition of better. Will it allow higher framerates and smoother gameplay, yes. Will it look as good as 4k, no. Personally I'd rather play AAA titles at or near 100fps with graphics maxed out than play them at sub 60fps with medium graphics.

Also, the only 240hz monitors I'm seeing are 1080p. At that resolution and rate the games fall heavily on the CPU to keep up framerates.
