Cheap 240hz Monitor for RTX 4080 question

[RTX 5080 FE(Mr Happy)]

Hey all, my full specs are on my profile, but in a run down

RTX 4080
i7 13700k
32gb ram ddr 5
LG C3 OLED 4K 120hz

Loving the oled, it works for 90% of everything I want.


The only issue I have is when I PVP, the screen feels a wee bit too big and 120hz a possible tad slow(could be the size)


I am toying with the idea of buying a budget 1080p 240hz monitor (24 inch) specifically for PVP, and could double as a discord display or to read chat if I stream.


I have no need for a high end 1080p, as I am happy with my LG, but I am wondering if a 1080p would be better for FPS PVP


My question: How much bottleneck would I be looking at if I got a 240hz 1080p?

I currently get 80 to 160fps in most games at high to epic settings, depending on the game at 4k, so I cleary have the power on the gpu.

I just dont know how the cpu bottleneck would affect that.

Thanks in advance,.

Are you serious!?

Player-vs-Player (aka Online Multiplayer)

really it means any game where players fight other players, but in this case its really referencing fast paced games where low fps can affect your competitiveness, think of tf2 or cs-go

I am trying to figure that out lol (player vs player) I never really got into that. But am trying it out.

Well CSGO just died; Valve making a huge mistake by doing this.

But yea in some games like TF2, Destiny2, Overwatch; where it really will help to have around 120-250 FPS or more. Basically any online PvP game that is not locked. Even Call of Duty types. But then in Battlefield 1 or 5 for example they would have servers with a locked 30 or 60 FPS.

Players even resort to playing with lower screen res or lower visuals just to get the FPS up more in those more competitive fps games.

as for the simple question of at what point fps no longer affects your performance in-game, im the wrong person to ask since ive never experienced more than 60 fps, and i dont notice the frames anymore past 30-something, yet other people certainly say they notice the difference at higher framerates than 60, so idk. its a discussion that has happened many times

I appreciate the honesty, yeah I have always been a slave to graphics, and a 42 inch OLED is god tier for RPG and MMO, ill just shrink the screen for pvp games. Free points to you too for helping :)

constantly changing the resolution in the nvidia control panel depending on the game sounds a little tedious tbh lol

online multiplayer technically doesnt have to be pvp i guess
but even pvp is a vague description

I for one I'm glad to see CSGO gone. I played it since before CS1.6 and Steam were around; that's over 20 years. But their move to just slide CS2 into the place of CSGO and remove everyone achievements and such is just really dumb move. It's more like a slap in the face if you ask me.

No don't run it within a 1920x1080 window; do this instead of you don't want the full size of your actual screen.

Exit game first.

Bring up NVIDIA Control Panel > Change Desktop Size
Change the Scaling option to "No Scaling"
Then click APPLY in lower right

Now re-test the game set to Full Screen @ 1920x1080

This isnt working, the entire screen goes 1920x1080,

Any idea what Im doing wrong?

There is no 1080p under pc but when I try to manually add it it claims there is. The only 1080p is on the ultra hd (top half of the tv settings)

[RTX 5080 FE(Mr Happy)]

Ok I found a way


1. open nvidia panel

2. turn off scaling

3. select 1920x1200

4. open display settings in windows

5. change screen res to 1920x1080


Only issue is this looks to be on par with that of a 27 inch display. Still larger than I want for pvp, but alot better than 4k for pvp. 4k looks way better, but just too much for my aging eyes to keep up with and I sit about 1 2 to 3 feet from the monitor, just too much screen to scroll over when aiming so Ill give this a shot. Thanks again!

im not sure i understand what the problem is but uh u can try the other way which is just in windows, right click on desktop, then click on display settings/screen resolution

it might be in a section further up or down in the list; scroll up or down.
Also check the refresh rate, when this is selected already, then it will only show Screen Res that support that Refresh Rate.

If you change it in NVIDIA Control Panel; you don't have to change it via Windows Settings.

The reason to use the NVIDIA Control Panel for this is so you can also pick the correct refresh rate.

But that one doesnt work properly since thats for the tv mode. But I managed to get it going.

I am happy I didnt pick up a 1080p. I cant see anybody in the distance. How the hell do ppl snipe at 1080p? Ill stick with my 120hz on this oversized tv lol I can atleast hit a target
