I'm considering moving from a 1080p 144Hz monitor to a 1440p 240Hz IPS display, and I'm curious if my RX 7600 XT paired with a Ryzen 5600G can handle it. I enjoy both story-driven games and competitive shooters. Would I realistically achieve 240fps in games like CS2, Valorant, and Fortnite at 1440p? For story games, I'm aiming for about 70fps at that resolution.

Honestly, monitor manufacturers love to promote those high refresh rates. Getting a smooth experience is one thing, but hitting 240fps in 1440p in modern games is pushing it. Just don't let the marketing fool you!
Upgrading to 1440p will likely cut your fps in half compared to 1080p, so expect a significant drop in performance. If you're coming from a gaming laptop and haven't tested your current FPS, it might be hard to predict how the new setup will perform. Just something to keep in mind!
That's a fair point! I guess I should prepare for that drop, especially since this is my first desktop.
The RX 7600 XT might struggle to maintain 70fps at 1440p on most games without some upscaling techniques, but you'll have better luck with less demanding titles. Honestly, pushing for 240fps in modern games at that resolution is probably asking too much, just be aware!
I knew the 240fps claim was ambitious, but sounds like 70fps for story games should be doable!
True, but there is definitely a noticeable difference in experience between 144Hz and 240Hz, right?
