I’m planning to get this new monitor " 32" G5 Odyssey Gaming Monitor With 1000R Curved Screen( 165Hz HDR AMD FreeSync (2020) " I have a GTX 1080 ti card and I’m wondering if this would be a good match together for msfs 2020 ?
CPU intel I7 960 and 32 Gig MEM
If not, which monitor would you suggest for 144Hz and 165 Hz?

Converted to standard text.

Ooof you're running a i7 960?  That's ancient hehe.  I had a 1080 ti driving a 27" 1440p 144hz and it wasn't great.  And that was with my 4790K.

You might be able to MSFS but I'd highly recommend sticking with 1080P with that CPU and gpu.  I'm actually not even sure if MSFS will run on that dinosaur hehe 

HAHAHA!! Not that old! I build this system 3 years ago for $5000 Canadian!! It was the best in those days!!

It run actually MSFS 2020 pretty good on high settings (30-45 FPS)

Man I would like that 144Hz monitor. Hard to decide when there are not much online that could help me decide!!

Thanks

5K?  That's a rip off!  You seriously have an i7 960?  That's like 14 years old.  Are you certain that's the cpu?

OOPS!!!!

word not allowed i'm totally stupid, wrong system!!!! (Man I'm old!)

I have the Intel I7 8700K!!!! with the GTX 1080ti!!

Oooooh ok hehe that sounds a lot nicer.  I basically have a similar monitor.  You'll be okay at 1440p with the 1080 ti with the 8700K.  I wouldn't go 4k though until you get a newer video card.  

1440p or 144hz, if there are differences. I need HDR as it is my main monitor for movies and internet.

1440p is the screen resolution... 144Hz is the refresh rate.  Either way you should be good with that PC.

Man I  should think before I asked!!!! Should have know that!! I told you I'm old!!!

Now is time to pick the right 32" monitor!!

Thanks for your time!!

Rolly --

I used to run that exact combo (8700K + 1080ti) and it was top-end stuff at the end of 2017.  It was great for 1080p and 1440p.  At 4K it was...passable.  I could run 4K at 30fps mostly, but that was about it, no 40 fps at 4K on the ground with any kind of demanding scenery.

I still run a BenQ 32" monitor.  The one I have has several refresh rates it can operate at:  29 hz, 30hz, 50hz and 60hz.  Today you're probably better off going for a 144hz screen.  My monitor is becoming a relic of flight sim times past...

It's hard to decide which one!! There are so many 144Hz monitor out there!!

Curved; flat; and other specs. I don't change my stuff until it dies, so when I buy new stuff I want the best possible in the medium price range as

it will be a long time before I buy another one!! I only have the flight sim on this system and I don't play nothing else. So I want everything to be the best for the flight sim.

By the way, anybody know how to stop the double line in here???

You have a CPU very similar to mine and the same GPU. Whilst I don’t use MSFS I can easily achieve 30fps at most airports in P3D v5 in 4K using a BenQ UHD monitor.

It has a native 30Hz capability plus 50 and 60 as @Mace says. I remain happy with mine as it’s a high quality monitor.

I’m not sure why you’re looking for a 144Hz monitor since it’s unlikely you’ll ever get 144fps with your current hardware.

You need to beef up your GPU and then depending on which one you go for look at a suitable monitor. For a 3000 or 4000 series Nvidia card 4K should be achievable with suitable settings in MSFS.

Why exactly..?   The 1080Ti is perfectly OK - unless the OP is determined to go to 4k which he has shown no sign of doing 🙂

It was more his desire to go for a 144Hz monitor that made me post a suggestion. Monitors like that are more suited to fast moving games rather than the more sedate flight sims.

No real need for a 144 or 165hz monitor if your pc can't get frames up near those numbers.
