For a stable RTX 5070 starting point, use 1440p, the High preset, Ray Tracing Medium and DLSS Balanced, then measure the base frame rate before adding Frame Generation. Path tracing is a separate showcase mode, not the default.
HKC's 27-inch Shield 27Q560 runs QHD at 560Hz or 1280 x 720 at up to 1060Hz. The headline rate is specialised: resolution, sustained frame rate, ports and eventual South African support decide whether it is useful.
G.Skill's Trident Z5 Royal NeoX range pairs DDR5-6000 with timings from CL36 down to CL26 and adds an AMD EXPO ULL profile. Buyers still need a supported CPU, motherboard and BIOS before treating the lowest timing as guaranteed.
Diablo 4 HDR settings work best after Windows and the display are calibrated, then the game's black point, brightness and white point are adjusted in that order. Use visible shadow detail and controlled highlights, not copied values from another screen.

A 1200W PSU can run an RTX 5090 safely in SA when quality, cabling, and headroom align. Check CPU draw, cooling, connector type, and warranty support before committing to the full system. That keeps the build practical.
The real world difference between IPS and OLED for cinematic story games is about black levels, contrast, and comfort. OLED can feel more dramatic, while IPS may be easier for bright SA rooms, static menus, and mixed desktop use.
1500W for RTX 5090 needs a full-build check, not a simple yes. Review GPU guidance, CPU draw, transient load, connectors, PSU quality, and upgrade plans before deciding.
HDMI 2.1 vs HDMI 2.0 for cinematic story games should be judged by fit, not a single winner. Compare compatibility, latency, capacity, upgrade path, cost planning, and South African setup needs.
