Currently playing at 1080p on a Ryzen 5 2600 and an RTX 3080, 16GB RAM. Have the urge to upgrade to a 1440p monitor, but currently, I don't always get the performance at 1080p that I want in my games. Ideally, I want no dips under 90fps in any game, and also never go below medium settings. Currently playing Horizon Zero Dawn and am getting anywhere from 90-120fps in the open world on a mix of high and ultra. My issue is that during combat my frames can drop and stutter a bit leading to a not smooth experience. Cyberpunk 2077 just runs at a constant 50ish-70 fps with RT on, DLSS on, and custom settings which is not fun, Tales of Arise ran pretty fine but in the open world it was dipping to below 100 occasionally and grassy zones gave me 60-75 which is not something I enjoyed. My current list of games I plan to play very soon will be Control, Detroit Becomes Human, Red Dead 2, God of War PC, Monster Hunter Rise, and Elden Ring. My question to you is, considering what I want, would it be smarter to buy a 1440p monitor first, or upgrade to a better CPU (5600X)? How much of a hit would my frames take if I switched to 1440p with a 2600 and a 3080?
