Upgrade Considerations
To fully utilize 165Hz (or 180Hz), your GPU must deliver sufficient frame rates at 1440p in your target games. Older GPUs may struggle. Remember to use DisplayPort for the highest refresh rates. The monitor operates independently from your system PSU, but ensure your GPU has the required output ports and bandwidth.
