		Aaronstotle on June 17, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Time to Upgrade Your Monitor For me, I find 1440p + high refresh rate as the true sweet spot, the "affordable" monitor listed in this post is $900. That's not a bad deal for a 4k high refresh rate monitor, but if you play any games you would need at least a 2080 or 2080ti which is another 700-1200, 1440p high refresh monitors go for around $300-400.

I struggle to hit 60Hz at 4k with 2080TI even with graphics settings knocked down a few notches. Maybe next generation.

1440p144hz seems to be the sweet spot that real world single graphics cards can max out on.
