. I just asked my friends input as I tend to crank up everything to Ultra and sometimes I get some screen tearing. I was thinking maybe I can upgrade to an i7-14th gen or something to help with it? I've been looking around and it's kinda hard(and way too expensive) to find like an 4080 super, which I think is a bad choice anyway as the gains really isnt worth it looking at some reviews. Maybe it's just me and all this Frame rate hype friends I have that are affecting me but your inputs are really appreciated!

 

Make sure you have 4g, resize bar and xmp enabled in bios.

Make sure you have gsync or freesync enabled.

Make sure you have 32gb RAM.

Make sure your CPU is not thermal throttling. I undervolted and overclocked the 13600 with ease - mine was hitting 100C and throttling.

4070 is fine for 1440 but at 4K will struggle, but with the above checks you shouldn't get screen tearing.

You can also see if your games can get driver level forced DLSS 4 for more fps. (you download the Nvidia app that comes with the latest driver. make sure to turn off screen recording or you will lose a lot of FPS).
