1080p 144hz or a 1440p 60hz

[Guest]

Ok, so i know this question has been asked countless number of times but i want to try and get an answer for me. So i recently bought a GTX 1070 and have a BENQ XL2411z 1080p 144hz monitor. The colours aren't great but the refresh rate is extremely smooth. I am wondering whether to keep this monitor or buy a 1440p 60hz monitor. The two i have chosen are the BenQ BL2420PT ( http://amzn.to/2f5xvhV ) or the ASUS PB258Q ( http://amzn.to/2fnJ8UM ). I am going to play a variety of games from CSGO (not at an amazing level), BF1, Witcher 3, Rainbow Six Seige, GTA and arma. So quite a variety. Struggling to decide on whether to keep my current monitor or upgrade.

If you're going to play CS:GO and other games that benefit from high refresh rate for competitive reasons, then I would recommend 144hz all the way, but if not I recommend the BenQ.

Kind of up to you. Do you want the higher resolution or the smoother gameplay?

1070 is plenty good for a 1440p screen and should reach 60 FPS most of the time.

1920x1080 is going to last a while before you need a new GPU. It is possible there will be some newer titles in a year or two that push a 1070 to its limits at 1440p, but that is pure speculation.

I would say keep the 144hz expecially for a game like csgo. I prefer smoothness over looks. Thats just me.

this is the thing, i dont play csgo as much as i used to and as good as 144hz looks, the colours arent the best for other games. I feel like 1440p would better suit it. If only i was rich and could get a 144hz 1440p monitor Feelsbadman 🙁

Well that was just my opinion, but its your computer so its up to you. You do you boo boo.
