Would my rig support 1440p 165hz monitor

[Mr_T_Stickman]

Just considering buying an AGON AG271QG 165hz GSync and want to know if anything in my pc would bottleneck or cause issue with the monitor.

PC Specs;

- i7 3770 non k
- Pegatron Motherboard (sounds old)
- GTX 1070 ROG Strix
- 16GB ram - 4 x 4 GB VenganceLP Corsair 1600MHZ Although I believe the motherboard only supports 1333MHZ
- 2TB HDD from Stock and has been throwing a "Immanent Failure" for the last 1 & 1/2 years
- 560GB SSD which I run majority of my games off
- FSP Hyper 700W Power Supply
- CPU Water Cooling system
- NEOS Case with 2 120mm cooling fans on the front and one on the back being the CPU Water Cooling

I don't see any issues with your system and you should be fine. I'm assuming you want the high refresh rate for FPS gaming? Otherwise a 120-144 Hz monitor would be just fine too.

Will it support it? Yes. Will you get 165 FPS in newer demanding games? No. The 1070 is good for about 60 FPS at 1440p with image quality settings maxed in newer games.

Hi,
1) There is always a bottleneck, but there's no glaring issues with your system. In some games the CPU will be the bottleneck, and in others it will be the GPU.

2) GSYNC monitor.
You don't have to achieve a specific FPS like you might with a 60Hz, synchronous panel (i.e. want at least 60FPS capability to cap at 60FPS VSYNC) so there's no concept of a bottleneck here.

You should simply tweak the game settings to get the AVERAGE FPS you desire. Higher for shooters, but 50FPS is the minimum I'd probably use. Some games (i.e. Bethesda) need you to cap that game at 60FPS to run properly.

Other...
The DESKTOP would run at 165Hz which is really smooth, but again in games it will be based on whatever the GPU can output.

Damn, seriously guys I wish I could make all of you 'Solution Answer's'. Thanks for the quick feedback and I am now going off to buy a shiny new monitor. Have a great one!

you do get 100+ FPS with a GTX1070 on 1440p/ultra settings. 120+ FPS on Overwatch EPIC, 90-120FPS BF1 ultra max everything. 110+ FPS WOW everything maxed.

for really demanding games like the Witcher III you have gsync and will be fine!

I don't know what games you play or at what settings but I average in the mid 50s to 60 FPS in Skyrim with mods, The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Dues Ex: Mankind Divided at 1440p with a 6700K at 4.6Ghz and an overclocked EVGA 980 Ti. Just started Wolfenstein: The Old Blood and it's about the same. My overclocked 980 Ti is roughly equal to a stock 1070.
