is 60hz pretty much the going rate for 4k? i can't imagine any current gen GPU can push anything faster than that.
Posted on 7/7/22 at 10:44 am to finchmeister08
I play at 4k/144. Usually hover around that in PUBG with a 6900xt
Posted on 7/7/22 at 10:47 am to bluebarracuda
60hz ew
now that I've got a 3080, guess I should look into 4k/144, but aren't they crazy expensive?

$900 or so

They've actually come down some. Gigabyte has one that goes on sale pretty routinely for $500-600

No, you’re not going to get it. I’m currently playing TW3 (which is seven years old) at 3440x1440 and I have my frames capped at 120 to minimize fluctuation.
I would hold out on 4k for another couple of years. Wait for a card that demands it, and allow the 4k monitor landscape to improve.
ETA: And for context, these are total pixel counts for modern resolutions. 3440x1440 is vastly closer to standard 1440 in pixel count than it is standard 4k.
3840 x 2160 = 8,294,400
3440 x 1440 = 4,953,600
2560 x 1440 = 3,686,400
1920 x 1080 = 2,073,600

Joshjrn and co, can you give me some direction on completing my first pc build?
I am looking at 1440p/144 or 240 hz setup
and an evga or asus brand 3080 10gb card.
EVGA 3080 Asus 3080 Asus/Noctua 3080
would these gpu options work on my case? Does one have a better fan setup than the other options?
what board and cpu should I pair with this? (I've seen you mention having a MB with debug screen is important)
I already own a be quiet 500dx case in white (listed below)
I am also looking to go air cooled and will not be mining so LHR is not a turn off for me unless there's other issues with going that route.
Thanks in advance

What are your primary games? Different games lean more heavily towards gpu or cpu. Also, what’s your budget for those components?

~2-3k but not hard budget. My game selection recently has been Tarkov, Battlefield, Smite , RDR 2. Mostly FPS with a splash of open world RPG.

And when you say you want to run on air, is that including wanting to use an air tower cooler on your cpu, or are you open to a cpu aio?
Posted on 7/10/22 at 3:02 pm to Joshjrn
Open to AIO, whatever you feel is best. I just want to stay away from loops and pumps setup

The reason I ask is that if you are playing FPS, you're either going to want a 5800x3d or an Intel 12th gen, both of which run hot as frick. If you are set on not wanting any water in your system and want to stick with air, I would be disinclined to suggest anything other than a 5600x for you. But I would understand.

does the AIO require any upkeep post installation?

Nope. It's sealed. If you try to open it up, you'll break it.
And I appreciate that this is a bit of a random question, but how much of an issue is dust/pet hair in your home? Trying to figure out how to thread a particular airflow needle being you already have a case.

Cool. I see no issue with going AIO route then
Should not be an issue as I keep the dust buildup on my consoles, monitor, and UPS down. My case has a couple magnetic dust covers that I will keep clean too.
