Question If a display is limited to 1080p and 60 FPS.....

[Imacflier]

Hi, All,

If I want to play games on a TV which can only display 60 frames/sec and has a maximum resolution of 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high, is there any point to having a GPU/CPU combination which can exceed those performance specifications? For example: would an RTX 5090/I9-14900 play any better than an RTX 3050/I9-9900? And if so, why?

It is not a silly question if one is building a TVPC.

TIA

Nope, the highest you'll be able to effectively see is 1080p at 60FPS. If you've dropped all your money on a high end system but don't have any to spend on a display, but have a 1080p 60Hz display at hand, you make do with it until you can amass funds for a new higher resolution and higher refresh rate monitor/display.

Ofc, if you have a high end system hooked up to a lackluster monitor, there's the chance you can max out all details in the game you're playing.

Moved thread from Graphics cards section to Displays section.

There's a few reasons if your planning to crank every bell and whistle on it and play with ray tracing yes it matters. 3050 would struggle with keeping even 60 on most modern platforms.
