Question howdo i get more out of my pc

System specs

msi b550m pro vdh wifi mobo
ryzen 5 3600 (non x)
asus ko 3060ti 8gb oc edition
32 gigs ddr 4 3200 cl16
os drive is a crucial nvme 500 gb
gaming drive is a sandisk 1tb ssd
seasonic focus 850 watt gold
case is a coolermaster masterbox
windows 10 (non pro)
main monitor is an asus 27" 1440 p 144 hrtz
secondary monitor is a junk AOC 1080p 144 hrtz 23"

I want to get more fps / stability while gaming out of my pc, i was told that a 3060ti is a good 1080p gaming card but my main monitor is 1440p , i was going to upgrade to a 5800x3d but was informed that it would be a waste of money as my gpu would still be holding me back, i was then told the only thing to rerally do is start over with a 5800x3d/ 3080+ gpu better ram for timings etc but i dont have that kinda money, at bare minimum thats around $2500 not including a 240 hrtz monitor which is another $700+

With my pc ive tried to switch the games to 1080 in the game settings which makes the game look terrrible with no frame increase but i read earlier that doing it that way its technically still running 1440 p which is why theres no increase in fps/performance its just downscaled, with me being a stroke survivor i have trouble understanding the steps to go through to make the game run true 1080 p with 1080p performance without the games looking absolutely horrible and blurrry.

so heres my question If i set everything up to run true 1080p on my 1440 p monitor will i see higher more stable frames? can i do it without making the games look terrible? or do i need to either A.) downgrade to a 1080 p 240 hrtz monitor, or upgrade the pc to run higher frames in 1440 p?

i mean either way i cant aford it right now im just trying to understand how people run 1080p on 1440 p monitors where they get 1080 p performance without their games looking horrible to hold me over till i can afford to either A.) upgrade pc (preferably) or B.) the cheaper but still expensive option get a 1080p 240 hrtz monitor and would i see a improvement in fps/performance

5xxx offer much better ipc over 3rd gen, and you'll benefit it with 3060ti too. Much better minimum fps and that 5800x3d is a really good processor and should jump on the chance with sales.

I run 27" 1440p and i find it's not necessary at this size and resolution to have any sort of antialiasing hampering performance. See what you think.

Changing ingame resolution effectively runs at that resolution regardless if Windows native resolution is different. You probably read about dsr where it renders a higher resolution then down scales to native resolution, which is another alternative to anti aliasing.

Every game/ engine is different how it handles frames, but are more or less similar that cpu first handles each frame first before passing it on to gpu for rendering. So gpu can only work as fast as cpu is able to supply it. More taxing a game is, the more work cpu needs to do to keep gpu happy.

See regarding cpu frame prerendering.

im confused on what this means , my stroke affected my comprehension of things , before my stroke i would of understood better , so i see you put 5xxx processor meaning i would benefit from upgrading to a 5000 series right ?

yes the 5800x3d is pretty expensive right now cause its a beast of a processor but i was told that i wouldnt see an improvement cause of my gpu and that i would need to upgrade the gpu as well to see any gains which is way out of my league right now plus i want a better mobo if im going to a 5800x3d as my board i was told on this forum doesnt have enough vrms

then i might as well gett a better case as mines small and my gpu fans dont have much room to breathe cause of the psu shroud so im technically looking at around $700-$800 to upgrade the cpu/mobo/case , i am totally confused as the render resolution as on the video i watched earlier said lowering the res in game doesnt affect performance cause the gpu is still running at 1440 and that to do 1080 you have to actually set the monitor itself to 1080 to make the gpu run at that res.. im confused , so you're saying i would see a big gain from upgrading the cpu/mobo and i would be fine with the 3060ti?

Also on this monitor has overclocking to 165 by the manufacturer (asus) i have it turned off so im running 144 as i dont wanna burn up the monitor , is this a good thing or should i turn on the overclocking
