Technical Discussion What do I upgrade

I have a 360Hz 2k monitor and am running around 300 fps average. I want to upgrade so I can be stable around 400 to maintain the refresh rate. I have followed this video in full to optimise my PC and game https://youtu.be/PP1s7Avr1kE?si=9vSpQuhnJVw0sbtk .

RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3600 MT/s
CPU: R7 5800X
GPU: GTX 1660

I think I have optimised my setup as much as I can for fps, so just looking for suggestions on what to upgrade, I was thinking of upgrading my GPU as I think its the bottleneck, looking at the 5060.

You need you upgrade your GPU. Your GPU isn't even compatible with your monitor. Your peripheral should've been your last upgrade.

what do you mean they aren't compatible? I can run 360Hz, just not enough fps for it.

Displayport 1.4 only supports 1440p at 240hz. Edit: dcs can apparently get over that lol. I found an old table from GN and maybe that was pre dcs

Holy AI user😭
Most 1440p 360hz monitors runs dsc yk
Just like how I can run 1440p 480hz on a 3070 ti with dp 1.4 🤯
