1080p or 1440p with GTX 980 Ti?

[MEGA_MJRS]

Hi

I'm going to be doing a gaming PC build in mid-late July, probably with the GTX 980 Ti. Should I go for a 1080p or 1440p monitor? I'm probably going to be mostly playing GTA V with maybe some other games.

Incase you are wondering, these are some of my to-be computer specs:

Motherboard - Asus Z97 Pro Wifi-AC Motherboard
CPU - Intel i7 4790k
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 16gb DDR3 1600Mhz

I'm not on a very tight budget, but price will have to be a factor.

Thanks.

With a 980ti I would go for a 1440p screen, it's a bit of a waste at 1080p.

Even if you had a plain GTX 980 you should go with a 1440P monitor. 1080P is pretty low these days.

1440p at 27".

If you are looking for 27 inch your obvious choice is a 1440P. 1080P on a 27 inch monitor have poor pixel density results in a bit grainy feel image.

This sir is not true.
We have several 27" monitors @ 1080p, they're not grainy in any way.

I talked about pixel density. You could feel a clear difference in picture quality between a 1440p vs 1080P at 27 inch and above monitors. Since we use PC monitor in very short distances, the pixel density is quite obvious. A 1080P is recommended upto a max size of 24 inch. Greater than 24 inch 1080p is counterproductive which is my personal experience and opinion.

And I don't disagree about pixel density and I would agree that if there's no budget constraints, the OP should indeed be looking at 1440p because it will look better but I vehemently disagree with your assertion that on a 27" monitor @1080p the image is 'a bit grainy'.

You expressed your opinion and I expressed my opinion the OP can decide what's best to him. Simple

I'll probably end up going 1440p if my budget can handle it... If not I'll settle with 1080p.

1440P if you can budget it in. If you're getting a 980TI, the 1440P is where you want to game at because that card has the power and vram and everything looks so much better. I'm considering a 980TI now, after I see AMD Fury and the other cards they have on the 16th, and then get a 1440P monitor in maybe 6 months but I already have a 24" 1080P 144 hz monitor so my situation a lil different. If you can budget it in now, definitely go 1440P, you wont be dissapointed. It will only be a couple hundred or so more.
