1080p @144 Hz or 1440p @60Hz?

franzkoblenz

I'm in the market for a new monitor, but I need advice and I'm unsure as to which would be a better gaming experience. I'm fairly sure my rig could handle both of these, but open to counter points. Examples of good monitors that meet these criteria would be great too.

The types of games I like to play are usually First Person Shooters or Open world RPG's 

So like Battlefield 1, Apex Legends, Fallout 76 etc

I would go for a 144hz display in your case.

Do you think I could reach that in most games with my build?

At 1080p, it will be no problem with a 2060S.

1060P 1440Hz for sure. I made the mistake of buying a 1440p 60hz monitor. You won't gain much of it other than more desktop space. 

 

You'll enjoy the higher frame rates more than just a few extra pixels.

personally Im using 1440p 144Hz. I appreciate both "advantages" over 1080p 60hz. If I had to choose, Id side with going for 144Hz. Thats much more noticeable than the resolution alone. However, it always depends on budget, workloads, and preferences in the end. high quality 1440p 144hz will probably stay in your room / office for longer, but its quite expensive tbh.

What exactly is your budget and what screen size are you looking for?
