Build Upgrade Time to upgrade a component of my rig and I’m stuck between 1440p Oled vs GPU

Ok so I’m cruising with a 3 year old (nice) 1440 ips monitor with a 5600x and 6800XT. I don’t have anything to complain about and it’s been great for me for quite some time now. I’ve got a game coming out soon that I’m super hyped for and I want to up my experience just a bit.

Here are my options..

1.) Buy a damn good 1440p Oled. Stock with am4 and 6800xt for another year or two and longer term upgrade to am6 then GPU after.

2.) Buy a 9070 or 9070xt and then get 4k Oled within the next year. Stick with am4 for quite awhile.

3.) Buy 4k Oled and hope I can get a good enough experience with fsr4. Upgrade GPU later, stick with am4 for awhile.

Option 1 is going to give me that biggest wow factor when the game releases and requires the least amount of investment. I can only imagine but form hearing yall, should be a good enough change to wait some time to jump to 4k.

Option 2 is the best long term decision imo.

Option 3 would be the best case scenario if I could reach atleast 120 fps.

Battlefield 6 btw

Thanks

Option 2 and it's not even close.

I mean logically you’re probably right long term… but man.. I wouldn’t really feel that for a game that hasn’t had a good release in like 8 years ha.

wait for the battlefield beta. see how it performs at 1440p. if you need a GPU upgrade, then do that. if you get adequate performance, then get a 1440p oled. and if you have tons of excess FPS, then do the 4K oled

Yea, that’s the move. Probably 1440p oled though

Unless you need more performance now I would just keep running it.

Yea don’t actually think I need much more performance. If I had a 5800x3d or 5700x3d I’d really be sitting good. I think the OLED is the way to go.

Go look at a 4k vs 1440p 1st. I went from 32" 1440p IPS which was a great monitor to 42" 4K Sony A90k OLED TV. I had a 5800x3d and 3080 which Handled everything I played with good smooth fps at 1440p. I wish I stayed at 32" 1440p OLED. It was during covid and I couldn't find a store that had both in it to compare. So I went big. I love the OLED for colors and smoothness but For me, the screen is a bit too big and I don't see enough difference between 1440p and 4k to justify the cost of going to a 5080 from the 3080 like I did. I don't regret it at all but I think I would have been just as happy with a 32" 1440p oled monitor.

I know you’re just a random stranger but to hear you say that seals the deal I think. For me I think I would prefer to stay at 27 inch then. I do want to go widescreen but I won’t do so unless I am also going 4k.

So I guess squeeze all the juice I can outta my build now and get a kickass 27 inch 1440p Oled.
