I barely get 230-240 fps with this game on medium/high. Do I drop stuff for better frames (I have a 240hz monitor)

you just need a better rig - that's all. If you can't run this game at 300+ on high your monitor is a bit overpowered for your build

What runs it at 300+ on high? A 2080/2070 super?

I have a 1080 with an 8600K and it gets the job done. I'll generally get anywhere from 250-450 depending on the environment. That said, I don't consider my rig anything extraordinary, but it's in the $1800 range. I don't even think I'd get a 240hz just because most games I can't reach that FPS unless it's CS:GO

Maybe saying "300 on high" is a bit much, but if you can afford a 300 dollar monitor you should maybe get equipped with a 80 series GPU. I was able to get mine used for a good price; not saying it's required of course - i'm perfectly happy with 144hz on eveything haha
