Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has experience with 2k (1440p) gaming with a 5600 XT, as it's quite an entry level 1440p gaming GPU.
I'm looking for a 1440p monitor at the moment (upgrading from 1080p 144Hz) and don't have the biggest budget, so was hoping for something less than $400.
Since the 5600 XT isn't able to consistently get high fps for all games, I was wondering if, say, a 144Hz monitor would be worthwhile, or I can settle for like a 75Hz one, because there's this Kogan sale at the moment (not sure if it's actually a good one, just found it): https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-24-qhd-freesync-75hz-moni…
It's 24in 1440p 75Hz IPS for $279 which seems pretty good, but not sure whether I should wait for a better deal: either 27 inch, higher refresh rate, or even a cheap 1440p ultrawide I wouldn't mind. Like is a 15Hz difference significant?
If anyone knows a good ultrawide deal as well that'd be appreciated, but they're obviously a higher budget item in most cases.
In terms of things like contrast, colour accuracy and even response time, I'm not too fussed as long as it's not noticeably bad or anything. Like I'm not a good enough gamer to notice milliseconds delay of response time. I'd prefer like IPS because that's generally what people recommend however. So really it's about that extra money being spent on as high as 144Hz refresh rates for a GPU that may not be able to fully utilise it at the moment.
Cheers
I just built up my first PC with a Sapphire RX 5600 XT Pulse and I'm getting 144 fps on 1920x1080 in Modern Warfare. Higher fps is always better for shooters but it's also down to personal preference. There isn't a huge difference between FHD and 2k for me so I would rather higher fps/smoother gameplay than higher resolution.
