[SOLVED] Need help choosing a monitor

[FelixAFF]

So i have two choices on choosing a monitor, A 1080p 144Hz Monitor and a 1080p 144Hz Curved Monitor.
But as far as i know a curved monitor will reduce FPS because of its 21:9 ratio but people tell that curved monitors are good for FPS.
And i play a lot of AAA games and FPS too such as GTA V, The Witcher 3, AC Franchises, R6 Siege, CSGO and i need your help to pick me the best monitor for a stable FPS (Ultra settings)

Here are my specs :
GTX 1660ti MSI Ventus OC 6GB
AMD R5 2600x
16GB DDR4 RAM 3200MHz 2x8 (But my mobo locks it to 2400MHz cause incompatibility)
Windows 10 64-bit
500 Watt PSU Gladias Venomrx
SSD 240GB
1TB HDD
ASROCK B450M Steel Legend

What are the monitor models?

There are 1080P 16:9 curved monitors.

For your memory to run at the correct speed you may want to update the motherboard BIOS and make sure each stick is in the correct slot. If A1/B1 doesn't work with AXMP then try slots A2/B2. You'll want the memory to run at the rated 3200mhz as it can make a significant difference with AMD Ryzen (20+ FPS depending on the game).

Also if one of the choices has Freesync as a feature and the other doesn't then it may be worth getting the Freesync version as newer Nvidia GPU's will work with most AMD Freesync monitors.

There is no such thing about fps difference in flat and curved screens if the resolutions are same and it totally depends on your preference if you like curve screens then go with it if flat then go with it no big differences. Curved screens just add a little bit more 3d look when you play AAA games bcz of it's curved edges.

My ram is not on the compatibility list with my mobo but in the RAM's box it says that it is compatible with XMP 2.0,, So should i try the A2/B2 slot?

If A1/B1 isn't working then it's probably A2/B2.

If i turn off my PC, then switch my ram to A2/B2 will there be any effect to my PC at launch like setting stuff on bios or no?

Turn off the PC, swap to A2/B2, turn on PC and go into BIOS, enable XMP and the memory should run at the correct speed.
