GPU and Monitor

[Hi P]

I plan on getting either a 2080 or 2080 Ti but I will have a 2k 60 Hz monitor, so I was wondering:

 

1.- Gaming wise, is there anything positive of having an overkill GPU for said monitor?

 

2.- Would the GPU be stressed way less compared to 4K? 

 

3.- Aside from gaming, any general advantages?... anything? or none at all?

 

Thank you

1 - Yes, if you plan gaming at 60Hz, your card will serve you longer because you won't have to upgrade in order to keep 60FPS compared to 144Fps.

 

2 - No/Not really. Any modern AAA game will load GPU to 100% at 2k.

 

3 - Better card - more swag, its very important.

3.not really, unless you run gpu intensive programs for a job
