The best ROG gaming monitors for your new GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics card

A new generation of graphics cards means more detailed graphics and better performance in all your favorite games. But your graphics card is only half of the visual equation. If you want to experience the full potential of your brand-new GeForce RTX 50 Series card, you’re going to need a great gaming monitor to display those new visuals in vivid, accurate detail.

Next-gen performance boosts high-resolution gaming

It might seem obvious, but the 50 Series is a perfect match for gamers keen on high-resolution graphics — particularly 4K. Not only do the RTX 5080 and 5090 have the raw power and VRAM to handle 4K imagery at the fluid frame rates you’ve come to expect, but thanks to the capabilities of NVIDIA DLSS 4, you can play those high-resolution games with features like ray tracing cranked up.

DLSS 4 takes upscaling to the next level with its new transformer model that features more parameters and compute performance than DLSS 3 did. Look forward to reduced ghosting and enhanced detail retention when moving around in-game while using DLSS. And if your game of choice doesn’t have DLSS 4 baked in yet, you can use the new NVIDIA app to override the DLSS model with the latest upscaling improvements.

The improvements are substantial enough that many gamers report that DLSS 4’s Performance mode trades blows with DLSS 3’s Quality mode, providing outsized performance benefits while maintaining impressive image quality. But you’ll need a great gaming monitor to properly appreciate every frame of rich, detailed imagery that DLSS 4 affords.

The same goes for the new RTX Video HDR upscaling feature that, by the power of AI and RTX Tensor Cores, lets you display Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) videos in High Dynamic Range (HDR) glory. HDR content typically features better brightness, contrast, and color over SDR content, but you’ll only see these improvements with a monitor that that has the contrast and color support to realize HDR’s gains.

Multi Frame Generation takes smoothness to all-new levels

The GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs bring with them another powerful DLSS 4 feature: Multi Frame Generation. This technology can produce up to three extra frames for every traditionally rendered frame, meaning 240Hz monitors and above just became more relevant than ever.

Traditionally, ultra-high refresh rates were mostly reserved for graphically lax games and competitive esports titles, since those games typically don’t come with intense graphics that keep framerate counts from shooting into the hundreds. Now, with Multi Frame Generation, even a mind-bogglingly gorgeous, ultra-cinematic AAA game with punishing hardware requirements can benefit from high refresh rate monitors. No longer are you stuck at 60 FPS when you turn up the eye candy: just enable Multi Frame Generation and you’ll enjoy the unparalleled smoothness that a high refresh rate can provide.

The ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM is the complete next-gen package

If you’ve read this far and are raring to pull the trigger on a monitor that’ll actualize a GeForce RTX 5090 or 5080’s full potential, look no further; the ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM has everything you need and more. Its stunning 4th Gen QD-OLED panel delivers ultra-sharp 4K imagery with bright and rich colors for visuals that practically pop off the screen. The monitor’s impressive 166 PPI (pixels per inch) pixel density means on-screen text and visuals will be beyond sharp, giving you a truly crisp image that avoids the peripheral fuzziness of lower PPI displays.

The PG27UCDM’s 240Hz refresh rate ensures you’ll be able to take full advantage of your 50 Series’ incredible FPS output in the latest AAA games with Multi Frame Generation. Pair that refresh rate with the display’s 0.03ms response time for the clearest, most fluid in-game motion that modern PC gaming tech can offer.

The PG27UCDM doesn’t stop there — it’s loaded with other bells and whistles, too. For starters, it features DisplayPort 2.1. When paired with a GeForce RTX 5090 or 5080, the DP 2.1 connection will grant you native 4K visuals at 240Hz without the need for Display Stream Compression (DSC). And if you prefer multiple monitors, you can enjoy compression-free 8K and 4K multi-monitor setups. DP 2.1 also ensures you’ll have access to NVIDIA DLDSR.

As if all those features weren’t enough, the PG27UCDM also benefits from not having a bulky power brick, so you can enjoy this display’s amazing technology without cluttering up your PC gaming setup.
