Will my monitor bottleneck my build?

[sponkaa]

Im building my first build atm and I have an older samsung panel from the 2010s, I think it has 60hz refresh rate and 5ms response time, but it has no Freesync (obviously).

 

Will it bottleneck or somehow ruin my game experience with the RX580 in my build? Should I buy a new monitor?

 

Thanks in advance

Unless you're using VSync, no.

No real bottleneck, but the question of buying  anew monitor isn't predicated on that.  What monitor exactly is it?

there's a more complicated answer, but for the ease of me being too lazy to type out the full 3-paragraph explanation resuling in "no" i'm gonna say the above.

Just found out what the model is. It is the Samsung T220HD (https://www.cnet.com/products/samsung-syncmaster-t220hd/)

 

Should I upgrade?

"Native Resolution

1680 x 1050 at 60 Hz"

 

your graphics card can handle a lot better than that. an upgrade would be nice.

You can try overclocking it, you should be able to do 75Hz and no need to upgrade if you are happy with it.

Thinking the same.

 

I would probably upgrade either to the Acer R241YBbmix or the Samsung S24R350

Naw, you should be fine. I'm using a 60 hz 1080 monitor with a RX 5700 for gaming, but I mainly purchased this GPU to improve my VR experience. There are other factors, but if 60 fps is smooth enough of an experience for you, then it won't 'ruin' your experience. You can always try a game at 2k to improve your experience and the graphics may appear slightly crisper on your monitor. This will be more taxing on your GPU though and obviously you're still stuck at 1080 resolution.
