Hi everyone
I have recently received my new PCS system and really happy with it so far.
I use it primarily for gaming with a 1080P 60hz monitor which I have so far been very happy with. However, having seen my mates new 1440P 144mhz monitor in action it made me realise how much better it looks (monitor envy) and I am now considering upgrading my monitor but not sure if my GPU is up to it.
My GPU is a GTX 1660 Super and would be interested in getting your view on the following;

My GPU is a GTX 1660 Super and would be interested in getting your view on the following;
- - Would my GPU be any good a running games on a 1440p 144hz monitor? If I went for 1440p could I reduce the resolution to 1080p in higher demanding games or is that not possible?
- - If not, would I still see a marked improvement if I upgraded to a 1080p 144hz monitor i.e. would it be worth it?
