[SOLVED] RTX 2060

[Frazzy]

Do I need a better monitor if I buy RTX 2060?

I've currently got XB271HU Predator Monitor

Resolution - 2560 x 1440

refresh rate - 165 Hz

bit depth - 8-bit

color format - RGB

For...?

1440p/165Hz is going to be quite demanding on a 2060 for gaming, unless you're strictly talking eSports and the like...

If you buy a RTX 2060, its not going to be powerful enough to drive a 1440p monitor at 165 Hz. You don't need a better monitor my friend, you need a better GPU.

what do you suggest?

It depends on your budget (and finding the GPU in stock), but you'd definitely want at least a RTX 3060 Ti; that'll get you a solid 1440p 60fps+ with high/ultra settings in most games.

If you want A): 1440p 120 fps+ with high/ultra settings, or B): 1440p 60 fps+ with full ray tracing effects in Cyberpunk 2077, you'll want a RTX 3080.

Agree. I have upgraded from a 2080 Super to a 3080 as I was finding the 2080 Super a little underwhelming for my 1440p 144Hz. The 2060 if playing modern AAA games is better suited 1080p 60Hz/144Hz/165Hz and is going to need medium settings to achieve 100+ FPS in some.
