Question resolution

[Froggystylin]

should I buy a new monitor to have a better resolution to match the new gamin setup I have currently I have an msi optix mag27c that only does 1080p for what I have

If the system build in your sig is current, YES. The 4090 is far more capable than 1080p

I would consider a high refresh rate 1440 at the very least, if not 4K.

I was lookin at gettin a 240hz 1440p monitor since I heard most games run better at that resolution nowadays but I wasn't sure

If by "run" better you mean FPS wise, no, it'll likely perform worse. But it'll certainly look better at 1440p versus 1080p.

The fps wouldn't take a huge hit I'm assumin with my current setup would it

I would mention that according to how far you sit from the monitor as well as how good your eyesight is can have a big impact on whether you can perceive the difference in resolution(s).

It could just be the video signal getting choppy due to a worn cable.

Oh how long does a display port cable usually last
