2070 Super best monitor?

Hi,

I have been sent out a 2070 Super to replace my 2070 which died.

I currently have a 4K monitor which I believe was stressing my card too much.

I have been looking at a 2560x1440 165Hz TN monitor, see below;

Do you think the 2070 Super could cope with 4K or should I lower my resoloution?

Thanks in advance

2070S is a good 4k card. Only bettered by 2080S and 2080ti. Drop a couple of settings and you'll be good.

Great stuff, thanks very much for your reply!

So you actually want a 4K Monitor ?

I've got a 4K monitor but my 2070 struggled with some games running at 4K. I just wondered whether it maybe worth dropping to a 1440p G-Sync monitor rather than trying to run at 4K if the card was going to struggle

Absolutely agree, the monitor is one of the most important bits of kit in your setup and well worth investing in something that will potentially outlast most other components.

As to the OP, you should be able to find older games can run well at 4k - but newer ones will likely struggle.

I downgraded from 4K 60hz to 1440P 120hz UW and no regrets - also don't think there's really that many compelling options for 4K at the moment.
I expect the situation will change over the next few years as both consoles and gfx cards become more capable at this resolution which will in turn start driving demand.

Thanks very much! Big help
