Many gamers, like me, probably also use their display for things aside from gaming. For non-gaming computer work I like 4K w/ a high (120hz ideally) refresh rate for well rendered text and smoother movement. But as I also then want to use this monitor for gaming, I need a gaming system that supports this.
TLDR; you might need a current gen chip for reasons other than gaming.
- jerrygenser 3y agoMy 49 inch 144hz monitor ran fine for this exact use case when I had an amd 3600 and Nvidia 1660. Is your work use case somehow more demanding than gaming?
- eikenberry 3y agoI've read that to run higher end games at 4k you need something like an Nvidia 3070 or higher. I currently have a 2060-Super and it struggles at times with 2k/1440p. Probably go AMD next upgrade as they are reviewed to be better at 4k and have much better heat/power reqs.
