60Hz - 1080 or 1440

[Joshua Photography]

So the main use for my computer is photo editing which lead to me using a 4k 60Hz monitor. Since I'm locked in at 60Hz, is there any benefit to game at 1080-107fps over 1440-72fps?

 

I'm already ruling out 2160-39fps.

Not really, I'd play at 1440p with V-sync on to eliminate tearing/suttering and ensure butter smooth 60fps gaming.

 

1440p for gaming is about the same as 4k at 27inch so you should be fine.

I'd buy a separate gaming PC rather than torture my self with 60Hz

Depends what you value higher: more crisp graphics or higher fluidity of gameplay.

I built my setup with 1440p in mind and would never step down after seeing the difference.

But even if your refresh rate is limited to 60Hz more FPS means you will get 'more recent' frames more often. Just, as mentioned by Princess Luna, beware tearing and stuttering.

At higher frame rates, you can potentially get better button-to-pixel delay, thus better responsiveness/input lag. In some cases, this can be noticeable.

Do you mean a separate gaming monitor? Lol

Since you're using an NVIDIA GPU, enabling Fast Sync gets you no tearing but you'll also get the latest frame that was rendered before the next display refresh cycle.

 

Plus I think all Turing GPUs support integer scaling. So it might look better at 1080p on a 4K monitor with that enabled.
