But if you need better graphics then 1440p resolutions which also widely available in a 27inch gaming monitor are good to go. The last one is 4K ultra which does not look cool on a 27inch Gaming Monitor but it is eye-popping on a 4K TV that ranges between 43inches to 58inches screen size.

Ray Tracing Enabled
Ray Tracing is a feature by Nvidia that brings many detailed images. But if you are target is FPS then Ray Tracing is not at all helpful. The feature can give out amazing detailed effects on the screen. Especially when you are playing games on a wide-screen display. Like a massive 27inch or 32-inch monitor or on a 4K TV.
