The refresh rate is the rate at which the monitor refreshes its signal from the PC. This is completely independent of the framerate on whatever you're playing. A higher refresh rate will look and feel smoother, and also provide lower latency between what you see on screen, your input, and that input registering on your PC (60hz = 16.67ms, 144hz = 6.94ms, 280hz = 3.57ms). The highest level competitive gamers prefer the highest refresh rates to eliminate any hardware bottlenecks, but unless you're playing at that level, you're unlikely to notice a difference between 3.5ms and 7ms.
With that basic information, on to the questions.
Just set your monitor to the highest refresh rate it can provide. This has nothing to do with the performance of your PC. If you have a display port, Intel HD graphics can run at 360Hz if you want.
You can, but it's a little trickier. 1080p on a 1440p screen doesn't look good due to imperfect pixel mapping. You'll have certain points where pixels on your screen (1080p) don't exactly map to the pixels on your monitor (1440p) and will cause random artifacts (mostly, off colour lines). The workaround is running at 720p which offers perfect 4 to 1 pixel mapping. HOWEVER, you're running a GTX 1080Ti, there's really no competitive multiplayer game that will struggle to push decent frames at 1440p, so this is really a non issue.
This is irrelevant. As long as you are getting above 60fps, you'll notice a difference. For example, I play APEX Legends at around 100 FPS on my 144hz monitor, which is still SIGNIFICANTLY better than running it on a 60hz monitor.
Out of the two options you suggested, I'd strongly recommend a 1440p 144hz option, as it combines the best of both worlds. The higher resolution increases the visual fidelity (image quality) significantly, and as I said before, unless you're playing at the highest professional level, you really wouldn't notice a difference going over 200hz.
If you don't know what you're talking about, the worst thing you could be doing is giving people advice.
- A GTX 1080Ti will easily run any game at max setting at 1440p, and tweaking a few settings will get any multiplayer game to 144fps+ at 1440p. He doesn't need a graphics card upgrade.
- Freesync is an AMD technology and has nothing to do with an Nvidia card. Not sure what issues you're talking about. Provided your monitor has Adaptive Sync (which both these models have) your refresh rate will sync with your framerate and offer a smoother experience.
- What on earth do you mean by "you cant 100% 144Hz on a 144Hz monitor its always somewhere little below , just becasue the manufacture says its 144Hz its not fully giving you the 144Hz"? It's a digital setting, you set your refresh rate on you PC and it'll run at that setting. If your monitor isn't running at the advertised refresh rate, it's faulty and you should get it replaced.
- "Plus the issues like side blindspots or ghosting, color issues or blurr can't be detected unless you actually use it" None of these issues should be present on a monitor, and anything of the sort is covered by warranty, so it's not something you need to worry when picking a product.
