1080p 144hz monitor or 1440p (2k) 60hz monitor?

[radhamescambero]

I play all types of video-games, gta 5, quake champions (beta), battlefield 1, nba 2k17, forza horizon 3, league of legends (sometimed, rocket league, cs-go (sometimes), rise of the tomb raider, dark souls 3 (sometimes).

I like a lot the graphics on video-games (I care a lot about it), but I also like how 60fps looks like because when I play a video-game in 30fps it doesn't look smooth, and I think that 144hz monitor will be a new experience and everyone says that.

I have an rx 480 which can handle most of the games at 1440p/2k 60fps witn not problem.

Tell me wich one to choose from your own experience playing games like this.

Thank You!!

You should only go 2k with an nvidia 1070 or higher. Possibly a fury X would due. The 480 tho is bit to slow so get the 1080p 144hz.

CSGO is mainly what I play and its a bit more CPU bound to go 2K.

Why not compromise?

This is really a subjective question. Some gamers prefer 1080p at faster Hz, others prefer higher resolution at 60Hz. I've tested a G-Sync 1080p 144Hz monitor against my 60Hz Dell 1440p monitor on shooters and racing games. For my eyes, I preferred the more fluid "motion" if you will with the 144Hz monitor, but for racing I prefer my 1440p monitor for the higher resolution and track draw distance clarity capabilities.

With the exception of looking to the side at trees and spectator stands, I did not notice that much difference looking straight ahead down the track when inside the car between 60Hz/60FPS and roughly 110Hz/110FPS which is what my PC would do in G-Sync in Project Cars.
