will 1440p run well on my system

I'm in the market for a new monitor. I was considering 1080p 240hz at 27 inches, but then I saw some comparison videos, this made me also consider 1440p 144hz. The only concerns for me is, whether 1440p gives a big performance hit. I have an i7-7700k, RTX 2070 and 16gb RAM. Will my system run demanding games fine at 1440p? I mainly play league of legends and fps games. But some games like monster hunter world and gta 5 are ones that I'm worried about performance dropping when switching to 1440p. Will I be able to run games smoothly at 1440p? or should I just stick to 1080p and get the 240hz.

I also ran a 1080 on 1440p for a year and enjoyed High settings for most games. You should be good to go. And having the 1440p monitor for your next GPU upgrade will be much more rewarding than being locked into the 1080p resolution.

1080p on a 27" panel has terrible pixel density, go for 1440p

1440p is the way to go. And if you need some more fps don't be scared to go away from ultra settings. In most games you can go to high for a lot of performance without a significant image quality drop. And in some games you can even get away with medium and not lose much quality, but gain a lot of fps.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Go for 1440p, 

You can render scale in most games. I do that for RDR2 and I'm running a 1070.
