For gaming on a 2560 x 1440p 144hz monitor, with a 1080ti.
I've read older posts regarding similarly aged cpus, but they all seemed to be about 60hz screens.
I know that the higher the resolution, the less work the cpu has to do (to an extent, of course), but what about refresh rates?
If I were on a 4k monitor instead, I know there would be no need to upgrade this cpu, since most of the load would be on the gpu instead, but then again, there are no 120hz 4ks out yet.
Are higher refresh monitors more taxing on the cpu, is the real question? Enough to prompt an upgrade?
