PG27VQ monitor output

WRONG.
The GTX1050Ti supports up to 2560x1440 at 240Hz via Displayport

It's listed as supporting DP v1.4:

I think you are confusing the ability to update the monitor with FPS in games but those are completely separate.

Most games probably should be set to 1920x1080, and adjust the settings to achieve the ideal balance of visuals and FPS (i.e 50FPS average for Assassin's Creed?).

the MONITOR should be set to scale by ASPECT

Obviously should be using GSYNC.

I would not run that monitor at 180Hz, not even 165Hz. I would stick with 144Hz likely (whatever default is) as the power draw may cause the fan to spin high even in...

You can experiment with that.

OTHER: just FYI, but 2K resolution is 1920x1080

No I'm right on my statement.
FYI 1440p is always referred to 2K resolution.
Not at 2K resolution for gaming no your video card is to weak.
While the card can run that it's not going to in gaming. What are you going to do watch movies with that refresh rate?
