1440p 144hz Monitor Help

[HazDog]

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a new monitor that comes under 1440p resolution and 144hz, 27 inches.

I am asking the community for any recommendations. I have my eye on one or two but I don't know much about monitors.

Samsung CHG70 - which is curved

Samsung CFG70 - wwhich is 1080p but 144hz.

I am wondering whether it would or wouldn't be appropriate for a 1080p nowadays and whether or not it would look any good when the screen size is 27 inches.

Thanks,

GPU: GTX 1060 6GB
CPU: I5 6600K
RAM: 16GB 1866MHZ

Assuming, this is related to gaming, your specs are not strong enough to support 1440p/144hz together. You can go for a 1080p/144hz unit as long as you do not expect ultra on most games. But your card is best suited for 1080p/60-75hz ultra on most games.

Would you recommend me upgrading to a GTX 1080 and keep the cpu the same?

Recommended minimum GFX Cards (nVidia / AMD) for various resolutions on 144 hz monitors:

Recommendation is based upon "playable frame rates", not 143 fps. For example Witcher 3 @ 60 fps / GTAV @ 100 fps

1080p - 1060 3GB / RX 570
1440p - 1070 / None
2160p - None * / None

None exist as yet but when they drop (Acer and Asus postponed theirs from this month to 1Q 2018 because if yield issues). At that time it will be 2 x 1080 Ti or next gen stuff

As for size, it's all about PPI or pixel density. 27" at 1080p is not a good idea if you have normal vision. You don't want to have a PPI less than 96 or so if ya have normal vision and sitting at typical viewing distances.

As for CPU, Sandy bridge CPUs are still doing well in gaming boxes.

Cpu does not affect monitor directly but gpu does. Yes, the right card for 1440p/144hz is 1080 and above. If you really wanna drive those monitor specs, you will need a 1080 minimum.

I know I would. Hellfire is right about the system being 1440p/144Hz challenged. The 1080 would help that. Are you looking at something like the G1?

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009769 would meet your needs.

65 - 70 fps in say Witcher 3 w/ a 1070 is not enough ?

(4) 144Hz monitors here

> 100 fps in Witcher 3 w/ a 1070 is not enough ?

I was talking about possible ultra settings on most games, as per my last post.

All video card results are obtained on this exact system with exactly the same configuration.
All games are set to their highest quality setting unless indicated otherwise.
AA and AF are applied via in-game settings, not via the driver's control panel.
