Asus ROG Swift PG27AQ 27 vs Predator x34

[Connor Vickers]

Just wondering which would make a better gaming monitor? can get the predator now or wait a couple of weeks for the asus? Budget not a problem!

Depends on what you want. If you want a superfast refresh rate/response time monitor, then get the ROG Swift. If you want a curved, ultrawide, IPS monitor, then get the predator. The ROG Swift is a 1ms/144Hz/TN monitor, and the predator is a 4ms/100Hz/IPS monitor.

The asus that I'm looking at is actually 4k and IPS but is however only 60hz.

Okay then. Can you drive the ROG Swift at 4k? If you can't then get the Predator.

Yeah I'm pretty solid with my OC 980 TI, the main reasons against the predator is the fact that its £250 more expensive and I've heard many complains about QC, also 21:9 has its issues, I'm on the edge lol.

I don't know if you can play very many games at 4k with only one 980Ti. 21:9 does have issues, but they should be resolved soon enough.

I get that allot with 4K! But I already play my games at 4k using nvidia's dsr, works super well imo

Okay then. If you can drive it then there isn't a problem there. The predator is more expensive because it's curved and 34".

I'm looking at these 2 as well. I feel like you guys didn't mention a lot of issues I've been thinking about.

What monitor did you get? How have you been enjoying it?

If you would just let me know what you're wondering about via PM instead of necroing a 5 mo. Old thread, I'd be happy to help.

The ROG is not a TN, it is an IPS:

Panel Size : Ultra-wide Screen 34” (86.72cm) 21:9
Color Saturation : 100%(sRGB)
Panel Backlight / Type : In-Plane Switching
True Resolution : 3440x1440 *

Also the fresh rate is 100hz same as the x34:

Digital Signal Frequency : Display port 73~88kHz (H) / 30~100Hz (V)

The only real difference is that the X34 is 4ms whereas the ROG is 5ms.

We already covered that above. Just read the whole thread.
