If you're limited to 30fps, a new monitor isn't going to help you. The slowest monitors today refresh as high at 60hz. You're seeing limitation in either your CPU, your graphics, or the code of the game. I don't know Witcher 3 at all, so I can't rule out a game issue. Most likely, it's the graphics that's limiting your performance.

There has only been one 30Hz monitor with general availability in the last decade, a Dell 4k monitor. It is highly unlikely that he has one, and he stated he doesn't use v-sync. So I started there.
Now, if we can get some other system specs, that would tell more.

My specs are this:
Motherboard is an ASUS V Extreme
24gb of 2600mhz RAM
I have an i7 8 core CPU
2 x sli GTX Titan X grphx cards
windows 8.1
1500 power supply
My current monitor is this:

When I don't have v sync on I get around 36 frames. I'm running the game in 8k DSR. When I turn off V sync I get around 26 frames.

But I want to play in 8k. I can run it pretty well, I only need around 5 more frames to run it at 30 FPS and the only thing that seems to be stopping me is having to use Vsync which lowers my frames a bit. I feel if my monitor was just a bit faster it would be able to keep up with the images on the screen.
Listen, I need to run this game in 8k. The Aliasing drives me nuts. His chainmail armor is literally crawling.

I'm sorry to say or if I sound harsh but that is nonsense. You've got your priorities all wrong.
Post processing doesn't look bad and is supposed to be part of your game aswell as it boosts your performance all the way into the skies compared to going for highest resolution possible.
You've got graphics prioritised too high.

Build a time machine. You're already pushing your GPUs to the edge of their performance - 8K resolution pushes four times as many pixels as 4K.
