I'd recommend 1440p 144Hz instead of 1080p 240Hz.

But to answer your question, yes, you can use whatever refresh rate you want.

If you can get a 1440p 144hz monitor go that route. I was shocked at the difference when I got mine

What settings/resolution are you playing at and getting such low FPS? With a 2070 you should be getting way more in Fortnite. 

 

To answer your question, why 60 or 240? Both are definitely a bit extreme, why not a 144Hz? It's much cheaper than 240Hz while also being much smoother than 60Hz. You can also find 1440p/144Hz monitors for less than 1080/240 if you want to play at a higher resolution and have more detail. If you are competitive, 240Hz is definitely better though.

AFAIK the only way to eliminate screen tearing is to buy a G-Sync/Freesync monitor and using that functionality while capping your framerate to 237. (So that it doesn't exceed the adaptive sync range, which for most monitors is 30-240Hz if I'm not mistaken) If your framerate is lower or higher than your refresh rate you will get screen tearing, I think.

@PCGuy_5960 does rtx 2070 support g-sync

Yes, I think pretty much all nvidia GPUs support it. The monitor should also be G-Sync compatible so that you can enable G-Sync though. (If I'm not mistaken, you can enable G-Sync on most Freesync monitors too)

@PCGuy_5960 I appreciate it you solved 100% of my problem becouse I wanted to buy a monitor but I was scared buy screen tearing.

@PCGuy_5960 Do I need display port 1.4 or 1.2 on rtx 2070 to enable g-sync

I don't think it makes a difference, but I'm not sure. Most displays come with a displayport cable in the box, so just use that.
