After the “release” of AMD’s first couple of Radeon RX 6000 Series GPUs, Nvidia answers back with the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti: A GPU that has no equal at its lower/mid-end price range. This graphics card is capable of displaying respectable framerates at high resolutions – similar to, and higher than, the GeForce RTX 2080 Super – at only a fraction of the cost of the other Nvidia 30 Series GPUs that feature the Ampere architecture.
To display the full graphical processing potential of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, you will need a monitor that can play to its strengths, and not go beyond its capabilities. To assist in this search, we’ve created a list of the best monitors for the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti; depending on resolution and framerate.

Where the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti excels, is producing high framerates at 1080p. Therefore, if you don’t mind Full HD resolutions, in terms of visual appeal, a 1080p 144 Hz display is definitely the way to go. The best model for its price? The Viewsonic Elite XG2705.
This monitor can be purchased at either a 24-inch (XG2405), or 27-inch (XG2705) screen size, and it features an IPS panel with an 8-bit bit-depth: 6-bits plus Frame Rate Control (FRC). Its W-LED backlight is capable of displaying 1.68 million colors at 24 bits. covering an impressive 104% of the sRGB color spectrum and 72% of the NTSC color space. The XG2705 can reach a peak brightness of 250 nits, a static contrast ratio of 1000 to one (80,000,000: 1 dynamic contrast), and a Grey-to-Grey (G2G) response time of only 1 millisecond. Also, due to its IPS panel, it has a wide horizontal, and vertical, viewing angle of 178 degrees.
In terms of ergonomics, the screen can be mounted (VESA), pivot to the right (90 degrees), swivel in both directions (90 degrees), tilt forwards, and backward (5 and 20 degrees), and have its height adjusted by up to 120 mm.
Two HDMI 1.4 slots, one DisplayPort 1.2, and a 3.5 mm audio jack comprise its connectivity.
The ViewSonic Elite XG2705 can currently be found on sale for only $209.99; while, oddly enough, the 24-inch variant costs nearly double that at $399.99 – perhaps due to low current availability.

If you want to go a step beyond the 1080p resolution, but also don’t want to worry about having to lower your games’ graphical settings, then 1440p at 60 Hz is an excellent resolution-framerate combination.
The Dell Gaming S2716DGR is a 27-inch monitor with a TN panel (8-bit bit-depth) that may lack the wide viewing angle of its IPS counterparts (170H, 160V), but makes up for it with exceptionally low input lag. It has a G2G response time of just 1 ms, an average response time of 3 ms, and a maximum response time of only 5 ms.

The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti may not achieve framerates above 120 Hz consistently, according to the benchmarks carried out by TechSpot, but there do exist solutions that can make this refresh rate possible at 1440p. The easiest of which is lowering the graphical quality from the in-game settings: Removing shadows, lowering SSR, or even reducing the depth of field.
If you don’t mind making these minor sacrifices, then a monitor that can display all the glory of both high-resolution and high-frame-rate gaming – and can last even after you potentially upgrade the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti in the future – is the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ.
This monitor has an AHVA IPS panel with a bit-depth of 8 bits and a W-LED backlight that is capable of displaying 1.68 million colors – or 99% of the sRGB color spectrum. It has an impressive 1,200 to 1 static contrast ratio, a peak brightness of 350 nits, and its refresh rate can be overclocked to 165 Hz. Where this monitor shines is its incredibly low input lag: with a Motion Picture Response Time (MPRT) of 1 ms, a G2G of 4 ms, and a display input lag of just 5.3 ms.
The VG27AQ has a full array of ergonomic features, two 2W speakers, two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DP 1.2 slot, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. It also includes a plethora of features: like a 5-way OSD joystick, Extreme Low Motion Blur, and Shadow Boost.
You can find the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ currently for $499.99; though its price does vary according to availability.

If you are looking to max out the capabilities of Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, and want to enjoy your games at the highest possible gaming processing resolution, then a 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz monitor is for you. Benchmarks do show that the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti reaches an 18-game average of 64 FPS at 4K, so it must be noted that there may be some titles that you will have to lower the in-game quality settings in order to fully enjoy gaming at this resolution. If that’s a sacrifice you are willing to make, the ASUS VP28UGQ is a monitor well worth investing in.
This display features a TN panel (10-bit bit-depth) that has a MPRT of just 1 millisecond, and an end-to-end input lag having been measured to reach just 27.4 ms (dependent on the PC and peripherals as well). It’s W-LED backlight display can show over a billion colors at 30 bits: covering 100% of the sRGB spectrum. It has a 300-nit brightness and a 1000 to one static contrast ratio.
Because the VP28UGQ is meant to be viewed from the front, it does lack many ergonomic features, but it does have a view light frame and it can be mounted using a VESA interface. It can also be tilted by 5 degrees forwards and 20 degrees backwards. Also included are two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DP 1.2, a 3.5 mm audio out jack, and a several features similar to the ASUS VG27AQ.
Arguably, the best part of the ASUS VP27UGQ is its current $252.63 price tag.
