1440p 144hz vs 1080p 60hz for my pc build

[GoulactiX]

Lets say that Im interested in the first option
will these specs allow it (60+fps) or some parts will hold me back so i should stick with the second option ?

i7 8700k 3.70ghz (not overclocked but stays at 4.20-4.40ghz)
hyper x fury 2x8GB ddr4 2400mhz (pc capable of only 2133mhz i know )
gtx 1070\gtx 1080 (haven't decided yet need your help)
gigabyte b360 hd3 (the b360 was a mistake )

note about the refresh rate : im not playing fps multiplayer online games like cs go overwatch fortine or pubg I play mainly singleplayer open world games - The witcher 3 far cry gta cyberpunk 2077 (when it releases) assasin's creed and red dead redemption 2 (debatable if gonna release to pc or not )

and yeah - I " love " brackets ;)

The new games are too demanding to get nearly 144fps in with 1080, not to mention 1070. But it would mean you have a monitor for the future upgrade.

[GoulactiX]

not critical to me 144 stable just between 60 -144 not less

and yeah i need some help in finding a "relatively" cheap 1440p 144hz monitor online or something without too much taxes and shipping fees and such

so......anyone to answer my main question ?

You just need to look it yourself. All 1440p 144hz monitors are basically the same so it doesn't really matter that much which one you get.

Shame you don't like to use commas. Hard to read half the ♥♥♥♥ you've typed.
It'slikenotusingspaceshardtoreadisn'tit?soletsusecommassowecanreadwhatyou'retryingtosayyeah?

And the 1080 won't hold 144fps on 1440p ultra settings. But with some settings tweaking it would do it.
But if you're playing Singleplayer games you don't really need the refresh rate that high, unless you've got money to burn.
I reccomend getting a 60-100hz 1440p monitor. Or even a 1080p ultrawide, it would imerse you more.

You guys misunderstood me - im not aiming for maximimum 144fps I know that it is not possible i just want more than 60 fps at most times .And a resolution that my pc could hundle .
In that case - is gtx 1070 enough for the job or do i need 1080 ?

What res do you WANT to run it at?

1080p? 1070 is perfect. But you could get away with a 980ti or even 1060 6gb.
1440p? 1080 is great, don't expect max settings 144fps.
4k? You're gonna want something like the 1080ti or 2080ti.

Single player games don't need 144hz, so get a 60-100hz monitor.
Plus if you can't hit the refresh rate of the monitor, at least from what I've heard from my friends, moving the mouse around is like it's in tar and no responsive, therefore it's better to aim lower hz if you can't push the FPS.

"1440p? 1080 is great, don't expect max settings 144fps. "
can the fps at least stay above 60 fps at all times with ultra settings ?
60-100

Depends on the game.
Everything on the list should run above 60 fps all the time.
Exept for ♥♥♥♥ like gta. Where if you have grass up high ( or is it an on off setting?) And you drive into it. Your fps will drop to 45-50 ish.
(My father has the exact same spec as your pc so yeah)
Witcher may drop in high populated areas.
But the games can run max settings pretty easy. Just gotta turn off the useless ♥♥♥♥ (high grass detail. High depth of field. Etc.)

Edit : spelling

Alright...should i get a 1080 or is 1070 enough for ideal 1440p performance ?

1080 of course, it's much stronger than 1070.

Ive rephrased my quesion

I have a GTX 1080Ti and an ACER 34" 1440p Gsync 100Hz monitor.
In ARK on Ultra i'd be lucky to get 60FPS.

Witcher 3 i have also and can safely say to enjoy it you will at least need a 1080 if you plan on going 1440p.

Does this answer your question?

1080 is better for 1440p, but you cant go wrong either way. 1080 isn't much more expensive than a 1070 so if you want the boost in performance go for it

Crazy not to get the best GPU you can afford, IMO, not including the 20 series.

Understood...thanks alot guys
