Question Cheapest build which can achieve 1440p, 144FPS gaming ?

[p0t3nt1al]

Hi,

I seen a question online and I thought it was a good one.

If someone wanted to play 1440p gaming on a monitor capable of 144hz, what is the cheapest build you would recommend capable of reaching the monitor's potential of 144fps for AAA games.

For the sake of this arguement lets exclude Cyberpunk from the question as I am aware that is a very demanding game - more so than most.

Wouldn't beat around the bush, only makes it more frustrating finding the exact answer. Triple A games from the past, present or future, Cyber is a part of this if you wish to include AAA games since the future will only bring more demanding titles. For now, you search reviews on a graphics card intended for your purpose and compare to the rest. Then you build around it making sure cpu is adequate for it and potential upgrades later.

5700x3D or 12600k with Rx 7900GRE or Rtx 4070 Super be solid for anything now at 1440p. 1440p (at 27") doesn't need antialiasing imo too, so with that in mind, some extra frames there you won't see from benchmark sites since they tend to use presets, whether it high or medium, all use a level of antialiasing.
