[SOLVED] RTX 2060 1440p or 1080p maxed out settings

[Pc6777]

I have an RTX 2060 arriving tomorrow. My cpu is an i5 6500, 16 gigs ddr4, os is on ssd games on hard drives. I know I know the i5 6500 will "bottelneck" the new gpu, but I dont want high refresh rates I want ultra settings, ray tracing and possibly a 1440p monitor. right now I have a 1080p 27 inch 60 hz monitor. The thing is I can go out and get a 1440p 60 hz monitor then in a year or so ray tracing support will be better and games will be more demanding and I wont get 50+ fps 1440p ultra settings with ray tracing on so I might as well have stayed with 1080p.

A select few new games with ray tracing already seem to struggle maxed out at 1080p(ray tracing on). Another option is I get a 27 inch 1440p monitor and run future games on high or medium which may or may not look better than 1080p ultra? i guess what im asking is, Do games really look that much better on a 1440p monitor compared to 1080p monitor, how noticeable is it? and do graphical settings make more of an impact than resolution when it comes to pure aesthetics on the images my screen is displaying? Will games look better 1080p ray tracing on and ultra settings or 1440p with some compromises that could become medium settings ray tracing on at 1440p in 2 years from now , is the grass really greener on the other side?

Get a 1440p monitor and enjoy ultra or very high graphics with your rtx 2060 but without rtx

I’ve been playing COD MW on both a 2060 @ 1080p and a 2080S @ 1440p. I’m running a mixture of medium to high settings on 1440p to achieve 120+ FPS and similar settings on the 2060 to achieve 90+ FPS. If I turn up the settings on the 2060 it quickly drops to 70 fps. However in doing all this I can say 1440p medium/high settings looks noticeable better than 1080p high/ultra settings. In both cases I turn off ray tracing, it’s just not worth the FPS hit for the negligible difference in image quality.

depending on the game a 2060 should easily be able to handle almost any game at 2k (asides games like ark of course) i have an rx 580 which has a base clock of 1340MHz, but once i overclocked it to a very nice 1500MHz, it could handle destiny 2 at max graphics at 2k, and 4k at 30 fps, and considering that the 2060 is quite more powerful than the rx 580, it should easily be able to handle 2k

I thought this thread got lost and noboudy replied because it got pushed off the first page of threads, I only care about 60 fps not 90 or 120 plus I think I have some stuck pixles on my 1080p monitor so im really thinking about getting a 1440p 60 or 75 hz monitor. Plus I can max out all my games besides a few on 1440p and the ones i cant max out i could play at high. I would have to stop using the ultra hd texture pack in shadow of war and play on high instead but i think double the pixles and putting the texture down one teir would be worth it. but i do care about ray tracing could i play high with ray tracing on on games that come out in the next year or 2 1440p?
