GPU options to play at 1080p 240hz

[Zireth]

Hi, I am looking to get a 240hz monitor and want to make sure I get a gpu that can hit 240fps.
I was looking at the 2070 super to replace my aging 1070 but I am unsure if it will be powerful enough (with overclock) to pull 240fps with medium settings. (Yeah I don't care about looks if I'm playing pvp)

Thanks in advance.

60 HZ in game Maximum....

Um... No? I've been running 144hz since release.

Turn off VSync

Even with vsync - if you have a 144hz monitor, you can use 144hz vsync. If you have a 240hz monitor, you can use 240hz vsync. There's no "in-game max" refresh rate.

My guess was that guy has a 60hz monitor (like me) and either didn't know what vsync is or that it's on by default.

My money's on him being one of the brainlets that has a 144hz monitor, but Windows monitor settings set to 60hz.

GPU isn't the one responsible to getting more FPS. CPU is. GPU will only make sure you get the game running more beautifuly within the FPS performance you already have.

Yeah, this is actually a good point that no one has mentioned.

Having a very powerful GPU will help you with higher resolutions. If you want to game in 4K, then just upgrading to a 2080 Super will let you push more pixels. If you want to be pushing 240 FPS, you're gonna need a CPU powerful enough to support that too.

Just don't buy a gpu now wait for RDNA2 and RTX 3000 release.

And then come back in a half year and say thx to me.

Then Nvidia drop their next GPU line a few months later and we're back to square one...

There is an option to disable the frame rate cap (that is 30 or 60hz) in video settings.

Can't compare that Turing is already out for 2 years.

I have a overclocked 6700k 4.6ghz, I don't think its going to be an issue, I'm fine with going to a 9700k or 8700k if I need to.

A 2070 Super will see some bottlenecking with a 6700k. The 2080 Super would be pretty heavily bottlenecked.

I'd definitely bump up to the 9700k if you're going for high refresh rate.
