will a new curved monitor work with a current Desktop pc

[Therubiccube]

I am looking to see if I can install a curved monitor and wondered if it will work with the old desktop that I am still using

Therubiccube,

The answer involves several factors, which combine to produce all the pixels required.  Please first answer:

1.   The CPU, amount of RAM, GPU, and drives of the system

2.  The model, size,  and resolution of the monitor

3.  The use:  The hardware requirements: CPU and GPU are differrent according to use. If the system is used for gaming, CAD modeling , photo editing, rendering server, or etc.

4.  The expected performance: fast navigation in viewports, high gaming  fPS with very high quality settings, editing large graphic design files- that kind of thing.

For a better idea of the system capabilities, consider installing and Passmark Performance Test - there's a 30 -day free trial. and list the results, including the CPU / Single Thread Mark

The answers may or may not require upgrading components of the system.

These aspects are a current concern as a secondary office system is having screen tearing on 4K video on a 40" 4K monitor, using a quite healthy specification providing  quite good single-thread CPU and 3D performance :

no information on which computer/video card you have or the monitor model you are looking at = no specific help

the shape/size of a monitor does not determine compatibility, the video input on the monitor and the video output on the installed video card is what determines if the two can connect

both video card and monitor must support the  interface used

which can be vga/DVI/HDMI/display port depending on the year the video card/monitor was made

do note tha while size of the monitor is not a factor, the resolution is,...and a larger display will usually have more pixels which can require a more powerful video card
