Higher refresh rate or higher resolution?

[PizzaTacoCat]

I'm planning on getting one of the new 30 series cards from Nvidia when they come out this fall. Currently I'm using an rtx 2080 and a 144hz TN panel monitor. With the 2080 I already have games that push well over 144 fps and I know getting an ever better graphics card would increase that. Because of this I plan on getting a new monitor as well. Debating on a 240hz at 1080p monitor or a 144hz monitor at 1440p or 4K? Which would you recommend I choose? Also trying to keep it at 24" in size so it matches my other 2 monitors.

what games do you mainly play? imo, if you are not playing competitive shooters like csgo, just go with the higher res monitor

I'd go for 1440p 144Hz 

If you're not competitive player the difference between 144Hz and 240Hz is much more subtle than 60 and 144

Getting an expensive card for 1080p is like buying a Ferrari to go to the liquor store and talk with the local crazy drunk.

144hz 4k monitor would be the most future proof. It will take a long time before GPUs can surpass that threshold.

As for the recommendations themselves, I cannot do more than recommend this monitor.

You should also keep an eye out for a LG 27GN950 review.

 

Please read trough this thread carefully.

Would also go 1440p 144. 4K is ridiculously useless for a tiny 24".

1440p 240Hz is the way to go. 
 

There’s a few choices out there but soon to be a few more along with IPS.
