Does monitor affect the FPS?

[๖ۣۜSIcario]

I am looking to buy 240hz or 140hz monitor. ASUS or BenQ?

Monitor does not affect the FPS because it is just a receiving device. Although if your PC can produce that much frames - then higher refresh rate will show you more up-to-date and more fluid gameplay.

for 240hz you need a hold a 240 fps, I Have my fps cap at 144 fps for my 144hz monitor.

ASUS if you want a well renowned company with relatively good quality and options for peripherals, BenQ for if you're on a budget and if you just want a cheap and reliable option for monitors (you get what you pay for for these things. Never owned them but ive heard good and bad things about benq)

Your new monitor can affect FPS in two ways

high resolution (1080p, 1440p or 4k). The higher the resolution the more power GPU/CPU will need to main high FPS.

or if you enable V-Sync in games then your FPS will be capped to your monitors refresh rate

Considering the resolution doesn't affect CPU usage anyhow as CPU doesn't think in pixels in the first place, I suggest you look into how games work before misinforming again.

It MIGHT be capped, not WILL be capped. It only happens if GPU frame buffers work in FIFO mode, which requires classic VSync implementation and fullscreen mode. One can use borderless mode or FastSync to have VSync without capping the framerate.

Just to reinforce this, in addition the other good info this far, even with a rocking CPU and a 2080ti, you are not going to hold 240fps in many demanding modern titles, so a 240Hz monitor may be self defeating. If all you play is CSGO, Rainbow Siege, Doom, Portal, etc., then great.

Even if you are running top of the line hardware, I'd recommend going 144Hz over 240hnz. Unless you have another usage reason, no point in handicapping yourself.

At the same resolution - NO.
