GPU for 1440p 144hz

[HellTheCRoss]

Is evga rtx 2070 super xc ultra enough for 1440p 144hz? Or should i bump up to 2080 super?

[ChaoticChaosx]

Yes more than enough. Running mine at max settings on most games with a 1070 ti

 

[williamcll]

Depends on what CPU are you going with.

[HellTheCRoss]

@williamcll i7 9700k

[williamcll]

Yeah I think you're alright, though not all games maybe able to get you to that framerate, especially if you run low latency mode with mods.

[SteveGrabowski0]

It's a ridiculous question since you're not saying what games you want to play and at what settings.

[Mick Naughty]

Depends on the FPS you want. 

[tdkid]

144hz is the exact same as 144fps. so the poster wants a GPU that will be able to and handle 1440p resolution at 144fps. but in order to do this you have to consider your entire system not just the GPU. like is your PSU, CPU, motherboard and case (yes case for airflow reasons) enough to handle it too.

[Mick Naughty]

Hz isn’t the exact same as FPS. 

[BeastMaster101]

I would really recommend looking into getting a used 1080ti. I got mine a few days ago coming from an rx580. It gets me 200fps at ultra settings in many games (1080p) like COD MW, PUBG, battlefield 5, forza horizon 4 etc. Im sure it will have no issues hitting 1440p at 144hz

I would talk to linus himself about it them because he constantly says in his videos X GPU running at 60Hz or 120Hz and means FPS.

 

and here. https://frames-per-second.appspot.com/

 

You have chosen an animation rate that is faster than 60 frames per second. Many computer monitors default to a refresh rate of 60 Hz. Animations faster than the native refresh rate will not appear visibly smoother.

Sorry guys, my fault for not giving you enough information, here's the spec i want to go with:

CPU: i7 9700k

GPU: evga rtx 2070 super xc ultra

Motherboard: z390 aorus pro

PSU: corsair rm750x (2018)

RAM: corsair vengeance lpx 3600mhz

Cooler: dark rock pro 4

Case: meshify c (with 2 fans front for intake, 2 from cooler and 1 in the back for exhaust)

SSD: 970 evo plus 250gb (for windows), 860 evo 500gb

HDD: seagate barracuda 2tb

So i basically want to get 100+ fps in most games at ultra settings and i guess in 1080p 144hz i can but i'm not sure about 1440p 144hz. That's why i want to know if 2070 super is enough for that.

 

[HellTheCRoss]

Oh, and i want to overclock too.

[Gohardgrandpa]

Get the best card you can afford. I have a rx5700xt with a 1080p monitor and I can’t get 144fps at ultra on all my games.

well your issue with the 5700xt is that the drivers will probably have to be erased and then redownloaded because a lot of people have been complaining to AMD with some similar issues as yours.

the EVGA rtx 2070 super should come with software which allows you to easily overclock the GPU and if not its called precision X1 on the EVGA site.

 

and you are going to have to tell me more details as that is the GPU I have been looking at to replace my 8 year old AMD radeon HD 6700 series.

Don’t need to talk to Linus about anything. They aren’t the same. Also getting more frames than the rate isn’t pointless. Don’t need to see them to feel them. Also frame time would play a factor. 
If someone asked to play something at a certain hz  means they will be at that hz all the time regardless of frames. Thus meaning the answer could be almost anything. 

[HellTheCRoss]

@tdkid What do you want to know exactly?

[tdkid]

well first thing is I am sure I misread your first post as if you already had the GPU and were not asking about whether or not it was a better card than the other. the second thing is you will probably get it before me anyway I have to wait a little while as the exact version I want of the card is sold out by the manufacturer. so I was just asking if you did have to give some more details on it like how do you like it personally.

yes they are the same.

 

hertz and fps are two different words to say how fast a computer monitor refreshes what is seen on the screen over a given amount of time

 

hertz

Named after Heinrich Hertz and abbreviated as Hz or illustrated as the f symbol, hertz equals one (0.00000000125) cycle per second, measuring the waves or frequencies of electric changes each second. Hertz is commonly used to measure a computer monitor's refresh rate and in computer processors. In the picture below of a wave, one oscillation is a representation of a cycle or hertz. You can think of an oscillation like the top and bottom of an oval. If you were to take the bottom half of the wave and put it directly below the top half it would make a complete oval.

 

FPS

 

Short for frames per second, FPS is a measurement of how many frames a device is capable of rendering each second. It is dictated by the speed of the video card, CPU, and memory in a computer. A user with a higher FPS is capable of performing better and reacting faster than someone with a slower FPS. Many games today have a command or keyboard shortcut key combination that displays the frames per second you are getting. There are also programs, such as Fraps and other benchmarking programs, that shows the frames per second you're capable of getting with your computer hardware and hardware settings. The picture shows a game displaying an FPS of 99.3 or 99 frames per second.

 

these both basically boil down to how many pictures or frames you can see in 1 second

That is not at all true. Your refresh rate and frame rate aren't always the same. While adaptive sync technology has allowed for variable refresh rates, the refresh rate is usually fixed. TVs are almost exclusively 60hz displays, and most console games run at 30fps. That doesn't mean that the TV is 30 hz.

 

Edit: Don't copy definitions from a random website and pretend it's your own.

[tdkid]

read the first comment.

 

I will admit that I am wrong. I looked into it a little more and you were right

 

and I never said those were my own comments. anyone with half a brain would have seen hertz

______________________________________________ and then FPS ______________________________________ and gone they quoted that from somewhere.

Well no hardware can pump out 144fps on all games at Ultra. But with some tweaking to the settings it should be doable. You'll obviously want to disable ray tracing in any game if you want high frame rates, for example. I also recommend a G-Sync monitor. Despite what someone on this thread has been saying, refresh rate and frame rate aren't the same thing. With G-Sync, you can prevent tearing or stuttering even if you don't always keep a steady 144fps.

 

On a side note, I would advise against spending extra money on a 970 Evo Plus. Just get a single 860 Evo. If you're using it for Windows, they're functionally identical. The faster sequential speeds of an NVMe drive don't matter most of the time.

Well, i'll build my pc in like a month so no, i don't have the evga card yet. I think it's a great gpu with good pcb and cooling but i don't know if there's a difference between a 1x 6-pin/1x 8-pin vs 2x 8-pin connectors, i just know that the cards with more connectors draw more power but i don't know if there's a performance difference.

Thank you for the information and for the advice, i'll keep that in mind.

well thank you for the info. I built my computer back in Nov. of 2018 and everything was new except the GPU which was still working fine and is a AMD radeon HD 6700 series. so I have been looking at upgrading over the past week or so after I was supposed to have my tax return deposited into my account.

 

as for the differences between the 1x6, 1x8 and 2x8 pin connectors, I have no clue but I am guessing that it is because they do require more power to run the multiple fans, RGB and/or the water cooling system for those that are completely sealed systems like the XC hybrid which according to the pinned GPU comparison list as the very first comment in the GPU section of the forum.

 

and as a reply to the one person here. FPS and Hz are the same except that one is how fast your computer changes the pics and the other is how fast your monitor reads those changes and displays the new image.
