Hey everyone! I'm thinking about upgrading my gaming setup. Currently, I'm using a 30-inch Xiaomi display at 1080p, but I've heard that 27 inches at that resolution can look blurry due to lower pixel density. I'm now considering a 27-inch monitor with 1440p resolution and a refresh rate of 240-260Hz. My specs are an RTX 3060, Ryzen 5 5600, and 16GB of RAM. For those of you with similar builds, how much of a drop in frame rates should I expect when switching from 1080p to 1440p? I mainly play competitive games like Valorant and CS2, where keeping high frame rates is crucial. Thanks for any insights!

With my Ryzen 5 paired with a 5060, I get about 100 fps at 1440p in CS2. Just a heads up, your RTX 3060 is a bit weaker than what I have, so keep that in mind!
If FPS is your priority, sticking to 1080p might be best. I play in 4k with a 3070 at 60Hz, and while it looks great, I know the 3060 isn't as powerful. Definitely check out GPU comparison videos for a better idea of FPS expectations with your card!
I use a 3070ti at 1440p, and while Valorant runs fine, I find CS2 pretty challenging with my setup. You might struggle with performance if you're looking for high FPS.
I just moved to a 27-inch 1440p from a 3060ti setup, and most games still run well if you optimize the graphics settings. It's doable!
You can expect roughly a 20% to 50% FPS decrease when going from 1080p to 1440p, depending on the game. For CS2, you're already at the lower end of desirable performance, so be cautious about upgrading your resolution.
True, the performance will differ. A 3060 won’t handle the same FPS as a 5060, especially with the DLSS enhancements in later models.
