A 1440p 60hz monitor or a 1080p 144hz one ?

[maxim45001]

So I'm planning on buying a new monitor since I have just recently bought a gtx 1070 and I was wondering what option should be the best for me (for ultra settings AAA new games )
Specs :
i7 8700K 3.70ghz (Not OC'ed - goes between 4.2-4.6ghz)
Asus Geforce GTX 1070 Rog Strix 8GB OC Mode
hyperX 2x8GB DDR4 (1860 mhz)
GigaByte B360 HD3
My preference is always frames per second than resolution so i need your help in diciding what kind of a monitor to buy (Not gonna bother with a 1440p 144hz monitor because I know my graphics card is not sufficient for that

I'm pretty sure i will notice 30fps

You're right and i would too. Gsync operates from 30fps to the maximum of the monitor's refresh rate. This means anything from 30fps to 144fps for example. A 1070 wont struggle at 30fps will it? So you'll be around 60~100 fps which will be in Gsync range and won't need vsync on.

Ok so to summarize - I need to decide myself- Res' or framerate . Both options will have performance impact on my card

And monitor size

 

[maxim45001]

monitor size impacts performance ?

 

[boju]

No, size doesn't matter, just 1080p is usually in 24". The list of gsync monitors i posted earlier had a few there of 1080p screens in larger sizes. If interested in those there, check their specs if any are appealing.

No matter what i choose g sync is recommanded in your opinion ? heard it's costly

 

[boju]

Gsync is excellent. Its only expensive in 1440p IPS 144 monitors being the calibre of monitor they are but TN 1080p gsync monitors are cheaper.

 

[maxim45001]

TN?

 

[boju]

Gsync chip inside the monitor adds about $100 to the monitor's price.

 

[boju]

Tn is the type of panel used in monitors. Ips and Va are others which can be more expensive depending on refresh rate.

Found a cheap 24'' 1080p 144hz Gsync ASUS monitor 1ms response time but with LCD panel ....LCD is shit i assume ?

No it's not. LED displays are just LCD displays with LED backlighting(most of them anyway). An LCD display is fine.

Great ...then I guess I will buy a 1080p 144hz monitor
thanks
