  No difference, the monitor cannot display what the card can output.

I got
I7 8086k
32gb ram
Rtx 2080ti
And I need 3 monitor display
Which should I get?
3 1080p gaming monitors (24inch)
3 4k gaming monitors (28inch)
Someone help please
My opinion – 3 4k monitors with a total display of over 80+ inch is just too big
So i’d rather go with 72inches 3 1080p gaming monitors..
Still any help would be appreciated!

  Hi Drug! How are you? Since you specifically indicated “gaming monitors”, I reckon this will be for gaming? Personally, I’d go with 3 1080p monitors for the best performance– or 3 1440p monitors for a card that powerful.

I think there’s one big mistake, namely colour quality.
That depends only on the quality of the monitor, of course TN panels wouldn’t have as good colour quality as IPS panels, however they do provide much better gaming experience. The only difference is more pixels, and personal opinion- the price does not justify the gains. You can build much more future-proof PC with 1080p than you can with 4k, for the same price or less.

Other than that, nice article!

  Exactly this, the picture and colours have nothing to do with the res, only the sharpness Id rather buy a 144hz 2k monitor with an SVA screen with HDR and Gsyn compatibility and play with graphics on max at 60fps minimum fps any day to 4k with dips into 30fps and turning down the graphic settings and that’s on 9700k, 2080 super. Sent my 4k back after 3 days…
