Then I guess I don't really need G-sync! Gonna pick you as a solution. Plus, if I try the monitor and notice shitloads of tearing I'll probably be able to return it.

That looks pretty good! I forgot to mention in my post, but do you think you have a G-sync alternative? Or just any advice on the syncing mattter. Thing is, I regularly get 100+ fps on my 1080 monittor at the moment. But I have NEVER noticed screen tearing. Is it more visible on higher...

Hey guys, so I'm sure a thread like this has possibly been made before, but I had a few extra twists that I wanted to see if they could be satisfied. So! First I will start of with my current build: Nvidia GTX 1080 i5 3470 Asrock z77 Extreme4 Motherboard Corsair Vengeance, 24GB DDR3 WD Caviar...

With that graphics card, I would not recommend getting a 4K monitor. If you intend to play games, you will have to lower the settings significantly to get good FPS. As far as I know, even a 1080 is only just about well equipped enough to run 4K decently on demanding games. (If that). I would...

Thanks again for the continued info! More than 4K, I just don't see why I wouldn't upgrade when the price difference is pretty small. Just makes my rig a bit more future proof.

So! I've been having a few crash-to-black-screen issues, which only resolve on restart. I've been wanting to replace my GPU for a while, and since relatively high temps lead me to believe the GPU is the source of my woes, I'm looking to upgrade. After researching the GTX 1070 mini (A normal...

Given the information you guys have provided, I'm going to grant coozie the solution and re-post this thread (as he gave me the most general info). Reason being that since starting this, I have been convinced to try a mini model. That, and I have also noted that a 1080 mini is only £80 more...

Thanks for the advice! Also, I'm not sure if I got mixed up or you have, but doesn't thermal paste apply to CPUs? I never installed (Or re-applied) any thermal paste to my GPU. That said, the GPU temperature issues aren't a concern. My GPU is 5 years old now, I was in the market for a new...

Funny you mention that, as that is the exact problem I am having... However, the PSU Is the newest part of the PC as I very recently replaced it. I have a Corsair CX 750, about 1-2 years old. What leads me to believe it might not be the PSU is that sounds etc still work when the screen goes...

Hey there! So, I've been experiencing issues with my PC that I believe to be down to the GPU. Alas, when doing some research, it seems that a GTX 1070 will JUST About not fit in my Zalman Z11. Also, since my current GPU (Although very old) seems to be having heat issues, I'm cautious about...

I'll need a little bit more direction than that, apologies :)

Title explains most of it really. My GPU monitor is putting the card at 70 Celcius and 100% usage. So far I have tried: 1) Restarting 2) Disconnecting from the internet 3) Checking the running processes/programs (Continually shows chrome as the most demanding, but not excessively so). 4)...

Alright, well, assuming I had a larger budget as I can afford to stretch the margins a bit. Would there be no problems with having a framerate higher than the refresh rate? Since you'd recommend having a better CPU for 144 he, what 1440p 60hz monitor would you recommend? It might be easier...

Hi guys, So I appreciate the fact that the main subject of this question has probably been asked quite often. However I was looking for a detailed answer on a couple of questions related to the consequences of a 60hz framerate as well as finally looking for monitor suggestions. I apologise for...

Thanks for the answers! For some reason I was under the impression it'd be quite lacking as a CPU. Since I can't really chose a 'best answer', I'm going to give the spoils to the early bird. Thanks lads.
