    Hellloooo! la la la
    Does anybody have a 1660ti (or a stronger 2070 max-q) laptop and any experience with external monitors?

    I am heavily thinking over 2 possible monitor configurations:
    1080p 24'' vs 1440p 27'' (specifically AOC 24G2 vs BenQ EX2780Q).

    Will I be able to drive any AAA title with good settings on 60fps with a 1440p monitor? Did anybody try?
    I am currently sitting around 60+ fps on these titles on max (almost), will I have to drop setting noticeably?
    Anti aliasing is fine to turn off I guess, but will it be enough?

    The issue is the scaling, I read, when trying to play 1080p resolution on 1440p, so native resolution might be a must.


    Any help will be much appreciated!!!

    1080p will provide more consistent frame rates on a 1660 Ti.
