GPUs and monitors from MSI: Collaborate to dominate at 4K and 240Hz
The latest graphics cards and QD-OLED screens from industry titan MSI have advanced features to enable the highest framerates

When it comes to the latest GPUs, MSI has you covered,with graphics cards up to the mighty Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 available to create ray-traced effects like you’ve never seen before. But there's another link in the chain that leads to a great PC gaming experience, and that’s your monitor. And MSI has your back there too.
The route to the best picture quality, the most saturated colours, the highest refresh rates and the sharpest visuals, starts and ends with QD-OLED. This monitor tech combines two of the best methods for displaying a picture - Quantum Dots for bright colours, and OLED panels for the greatest levels of brightness, excellent contrast, and the quickest reaction speeds. MSI has three QD-OLED screens that gamers will want to pair with their next-gen graphics cards for the ultimate PC gaming setup.
Getting the right mix of screen and GPU is essential for achieving the best gaming graphics and the highest framerates. There's no point in equipping your PC with a graphics card that can achieve over 200fps in 4K and HDR in your favourite game, then hooking it up to a monitor that supports none of these things. A new monitor is one of the most significant upgrades you can supply for your gaming rig, as there's been a recent glut of new technologies that improve on the 60Hz panels of the past in almost every way, and the latest DisplayPort 2.1 technology means you can really take advantage of their cutting-edge features.
GeForce RTX 5090 and the MSI MPG 322 URX QD-OLED
If you’ve been lucky enough to source and install an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 in your PC, such as the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 32G SUPRIM SOC, then the MSI MPG 322 URX QD-OLED is the ideal companion. From MSI’s premium MPG series, this 32in screen offers a 4K resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate, giving gamers the best of both worlds and not forcing you to choose between sharpness and speed. As a QD-OLED screen you can expect the best in HDR performance, with a 1,000 nit peak brightness, and with a 0.03ms GtG response time there's no danger of ghosting or smearing.
Having DisplayPort 2.1 on the latest Nvidia GeForce graphics cards is a big step forward. The latest revision of the video connector offers 80Gbps of bandwidth, supporting the full 4K resolution at 240Hz, and future-proofed for the 8K (7680 x 4320) displays of the near future. MSI’s latest QD-OLED monitors support the standard, along with HDMI 2.1 and USB Type-C to give you the option to connect many different sources to your screen, with a handy USB hub so you can switch keyboard and mouse dongles over too.
GeForce RTX 5080 and the MSI MPG 321CURX QD-OLED
The GeForce RTX 5080 is a mighty fine GPU, and MSI’s GeForce RTX 5080 16G VANGUARD SOC is equipped with DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 ports to supply a 4K/240Hz signal to a monitor such as the MSI MPG 321CURX QD-OLED. This 32in QD-OLED screen has a 1700R curve to enhance gaming immersion, and benefits from an exceptionally fast GTG response time of just 0.03ms. Having a curved monitor means objects in your peripheral vision can appear larger and closer, which can reduce the time it takes to identify and react to them - and when you’re playing esports games at 240fps, every little improvement counts.
GeForce 5070 and 5070Ti with the MSI 272URX QD-OLED
The Nvidia GeForce 5070 and 5070Ti have quickly built themselves a reputation as solid value picks in the RTX 5000-series lineup, and the MSI 272URX QD-OLED is a top-end monitor choice to pair with them. This 27in 4K QD-OLED screen offers exceptionally vivid images in a slightly smaller frame than the 32in giants, making it lighter too, and more suitable for more compact living areas. Coupled with a graphics card such as the MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16G GAMING TRIO OC PLUS or GeForce RTX 5070 12G GAMING TRIO OC, it’s capable of the full 240Hz with DisplayHDR True Black 400 and a 1,000-nit peak brightness. Like all MSI QD-OLED monitors, it’s treated with an anti-glare coating to reduce reflections from light sources behind you, and its multiple inputs are all capable of supporting the top resolution and refresh rate.
Pairing a graphics card and monitor when building or upgrading your rig is a great way to ensure you’re getting the best quality visuals out of your gaming PC, and these fantastic offerings from MSI utilise some of the latest technology in both GPUs and screens, allowing you to play games at faster refresh rates and higher resolutions than ever before.
