Yes, it can reach 144fps
You're getting consistent 144fps with your new monitor, but you're not seeing it in the graphics settings. It sounds like your CPU is limiting performance. Your current setup includes an RX480 and an i52500, so a 3770K should work well for stable 144fps. Just make sure your GPU can handle the load and consider checking the settings again to confirm.
Here are your specifications:
- GPU and CPU details listed
- Monitor usage tools recommended (HWMonitor, MSI Afterburner)
- Reminder to check both CPU and GPU performance in the software
You're considering a budget Z-series motherboard and the 3770K. It seems you might need a BIOS update or a Ryzen upgrade to get the best performance. A 6-core CPU on an ASRock Pro 4 B450 with 8GB DDR4 3000mhz RAM could run at around 60fps in modern games, but an older OEM build may lack proper VRM and Z-socket support.
It’s unlikely you’ll reach 144fps unless the game is outdated or simple. This suggests it won’t require heavy CPU power. At 1080p it might feel a bit slow in some titles, but it should handle the graphics card well overall.
