Will monitor refresh rate affect PC VR with Oculus Link?

I'm looking to get a gaming PC to enter the world of PC VR, however my current monitor is only 1080p/60Hz. If my gaming PC is capable of running higher refresh rates will that have an affect/bottleneck the quality of gaming via Oculus Link or even Virtual Desktop?

No, the monitor rate is independent of the oculus quest.  It really comes down to graphics card and processor.

For reference i have 3 monitors connected to my desktop
1440p 144hz
1080p 60 hz
4k projector 60 hz

Great! So if I'm mostly doing PC VR a high end GPU (like RTX 3080 now) would be fine for Link? I just feel with the price gap going down to a 2070 Super or 2080 seems pointless with the new RTX prices.

i have a 2080 super and i7-9700k and 16gb ram.  The only thing is with the 3080 you might run into driver incompatibility, within the first few months but it should work its way out.
