I recently upgraded my PC to a 5070 Ti and 9800x3D, moving on from a 3070 and 3800x combo. Currently, I'm using a QD-OLED 1440p monitor at 240 Hz, and I'm thinking about adding a 4K monitor for single-player gaming with my tax return. How high of a refresh rate can I realistically work with at 4K? I meant to ask about Hz, not frames, just to clarify!

When it comes to finding a good 4K monitor, many of them come with higher refresh rates anyway, so it’s not something to stress about too much. Just pick what looks good for your gaming style!
Yeah, game optimization really plays a big role here. If you're using DLSS on performance settings and maybe Frame Generation, hitting 120-150 FPS in many popular games is definitely realistic—just avoid the heavy-duty ray tracing madness.
The refresh rate you'll get really varies by game. For most titles, I'd suggest sticking with 1440p and bumping up the graphics settings with ray tracing turned on. Your 5070 Ti can handle that really well!
Honestly, it's all about the title and your settings. With DLSS enabled, you can easily achieve 100+ FPS in most games. I’m running a similar setup with a 240 Hz 1440p OLED for shooters and a 4K 120 Hz screen for single-player games, and I've been very happy with it.
It really depends on what you're playing. I've had success with my setup at capped 144 Hz on games like Robocop: Unfinished Business. For something like Resident Evil 3 Remake, I was hitting 240 FPS at 4K without ray tracing enabled, so there's definitely some flexibility there.
