4 k 60hz vs 1080p 144hz need help

[Deronatron]

So I have a 144hz monitor and love that I could use the monitor at full potential but since I had my rtx 2080ti I was disappointed that the gpu does not have a dvi port and my monitor does not have a display port so I'm in a pickle. I then have to use my HDMI cable again as HDMI to dvi still only lets me have 60hz and display port to dvi does not work as it displays no signal so my question is if I buy a 4k monitor at 60 hz will my fps be as good as it was when I was using 144hz or do I only still get 60hz still? Why are their hardly any monitors on sale that are a high hz on 4k ?

I dont understand the question. A 4k monitor pushes 4x the pixels as a 1080p one so no, FPS won't be as good.

If you don't care about refresh rate a 4k 60hz one is alright.
I went for a 1440p 144hz one.

hdmi adapter maybe ? google it ?

the rest is vsync or resolution lock with 60hz depend on each game and the older they are lesser options. ( actual game devs own faulth for not use standard or system settings )

sure 4:3 issue or other predetermend fit to screen size can matter but most newer games dont have that issue anymore

Either it's an old 1080p 144 Hz or a new cheap 1080p 144 Hz.
The bandwidth of the audio/video interface are limited. That's why converters as you use for hdmi to display port might not deliver the frequency/resolution you might expect.
Just a quick google search delivers information about what resolution at what frequency the respective audio/video interface can provide.

No. Your FPS will not be as good. You push 4 times more pixels at a resolution of 4k than at a resolution of 1080p. That has a huge impact on performance. But the RTX 2080 Ti is capable of delivering an okay-ish experience at 4k. Just google it.
1080p / 4k is not the only aspect ratio/ are not the only resolutions you can get. Before you jump to 4k, consider the monitor size and the distance from the chair you sit to the monitor.
You might be better of with a higher refresh rate 1440p monitor.

Newest technology has its price.

4k will look great, your fps will be terrible. 1080p wont look great but the 144hz will be very nice. Id take the 144hz over a 4k at 60hz any day.

Which 1080p monitor is this? Read the monitor manual see if it supports 144hz over HDMI, not all monitors will support 144HZ by HDMI as that was setup by the manufacturer. I assume this is the old 144hz monitors that only have 1 HDMI and 1 DVI-D, if so then more than likely won't support 144hz over HDMI, and you have to get another monitor.

You can get DisplayPort to DVI Adapter but it must be label Active, or else it won't do 144hz on the 1080p monitor. They may range $25 ~ $100 USD whever ever you're trying to get it from, either eBay, Amazon, or etc...

Yes my monitor has 1 HDMI and 1 dvi ports. I did buy a HDMI to dvi but did not give me the full 144hz but that was a cheap cable and I will look for a active HDMI to dvi thanks

Forget my last. I'm dum.

Instead of a 4k monitor why not look at a 1440p 144+Hz monitor? It'll look better and run smoothly with the 2080ti.
