I would recommend upgrading RAM storage to 32GB or more. You will definitely see an improvement in frames.

@Madmonkey68 In this day and age, that was only true for games like AC, where the games are actually optimized, now you can't even run for an example Jedi Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy, Returnal, etc. at said resolutions with max settings, well in Jedi Survivor it doesn't even matter what settings you use, low is as good as max settings, only difference being raytracing.

Plus I'll never will bother with higher resolution monitors, it's just a waste of time and performance. 1440p is 1.78x higher resolution than 1080p, while 4k is 4x, the performance loss is insane for the latter, for pointless extra pixels, if you have not gone overboard with the monitor size, you don't need anything higher than 1080p, unless games have shitty texture resolution so you get jaggies everywhere, then we can at least use various upscaling features or AA.

But you do you.

Tests only done at 1080p in 2023? Should include at least 1440p and 4K in those comparisons in this day in age.

Cant really see much difference though. I myself am playing with a laptop with GTX1660 8GB, works so well with High graphics in setings.

The difference aren't that impressive. As long as it has 50 fps and above it's fine.
