To ensure optimal performance, the setup should ideally include a 1440p monitor with a high refresh rate. Reducing the refresh rate to 60Hz can make gaming less enjoyable due to lack of smoothness. It's better to utilize your GPU at its full potential for high resolution and game settings. The monitor size also plays a role; for up to 1080p at 144Hz, a 24-inch screen is recommended, while 1440p at 27 inches or higher offers better pixel density. The 4K option is perfect for larger displays. AMD Freesync enhances gaming by providing tear-free visuals and smooth gameplay.

Thanks for the response!
Reminder: This PC isn’t mine. I chose a 240hz (280 OC) when setting up my system.
The user who will use it doesn’t play competitive games or multiplayer at all.
He doesn’t focus on aesthetics either.
His current machine is slow and often crashes, so maintaining a steady high FPS is the top priority to handle any drops.
He wants a larger monitor, preferably around 30 inches. I’m unsure what resolution would be best, but a 170hz display might not be worth it if he doesn’t reach it.
I could try persuading him to go with something smaller, maybe 27 inches.
He currently uses a 22-inch one, which he dislikes because of its size.
It's really low in pixel density. They can certainly opt for a 27in 1080p or even a 32in 1080p, but they're hard to come by now. A 30in 1440p screen will still look great.
On the FPS side, the 7800XT performs very well. It can handle many games at 170hz and lower for more AAA titles. Pairing it with a freesync monitor would make for an excellent gaming session.
Are you getting the right idea with Freesync? It assists when the monitor refresh rate and FPS don't match. Also, I confirmed that a 27-inch display works just fine. Unfortunately, there aren't many tests for this game on the specific hardware, since each result is based on the updated version of the game. The only one I found was about Ultra Settings, where the GPU+CPU configuration achieved around 60-90 FPS.
Freesync aligns your GPU frame output with your monitors refresh rate, ensuring smooth gaming without screen tearing or stutters. It's advisable to use a higher hertz rate than necessary. You can always adjust the high hz monitor to 60fps when required. With a 60hz monitor, the system operates efficiently, using minimal resources from both CPU and GPU. This setup is excessive for a 60hz display but suitable if you need more performance.
I personally owned a 32-inch monitor at one time and eventually sold it, opting for a 27-inch model. It felt like the 32 was too large for me. Sometimes I almost felt motion sickness. It might have been because I was too close or had too much peripheral vision. Either way, I’m comfortable with a 27-inch screen, so that’s probably where I’ll stay.
I see! Thanks!
I was about to ask if a monitor i found would be decent, just to realize its the exact one
@Why_Me
used in his build above!
😆
I totally forgot that i can just set the Monitor Hz to what works with whatever Game he would play,
so that "issue" doesn't exist in the first place.
Found a Website that lets me calculate FPS with specific hardware, and it spat out 95-120 on Epic Settings,
so a monitor with options wouldn't be the wrong choice here!
Just one more question: I remember hearing that its best to half Hz if the PC can't produce the FPS.
Does Freesync fix that or is that a myth anyways?
Im pretty certain i will order tomorrow, very likely the build
@Why_Me
posted,
as it leaves some room for a Keyboard, wich i forgot to add
Yes, the higher resolution monitor is the best choice.
It could certainly eliminate that option. They don’t need to. Freesync operates around 48hz, and reaches the monitor’s maximum refresh rate. Anything in between provides a very smooth experience.
