A game I play a lot (Squad) is currently very CPU intensive and I'm seeing 40-60fps (no matter what in game graphics settings I select) and anything under 60fps is pretty jerky. That may be down to my choice of display which is currently a 1080p 60Hz Sony Bravia LED 43" TV, with a claimed 6ms response. I mainly went for a larger display over a better display due to playing racing sims where IMO I need a large display as I do the whole steering wheel thing etc
So, do I risk spending £1000 on an Acer X34A or Asus PG348Q and hope that G-Sync makes the game feel smooth at 40fps and wait for more game optimisation (which is improving all the time and will no doubt be better in the future). Main downside to this option is I'll be going from a 43" display to a 34" display. And there maybe a risk that I'll see even less FPS at the new resolution of 1440p (FYI 1440p would REALLY help me out in this game as the view distance is huge so my 1080p display is hindering me somewhat as it can't display the small detail required to pick out enemy's at long range).
If I go with this option do I buy either of the monitors I mentioned or is there some bigger 1440p monitor around the corner I don't know about which I should wait for? (I really like big displays)
OR
Do I upgrade my CPU and try to power through to an absolute minimum of 60fps to keep my 60Hz display happy. I've already overclocked my 4790k to 4.7GHz and it's made little difference to in game FPS so the main downside of this option is that I'll have to do a fresh install after replacing mobo and CPU and that there's a good chance it won't make any difference anyway.
If I go with this option, what would be the next logical choice in CPU anyway after my overclocked 4790k?
My spec is in my sig, only diffence is my CPU is now overclocked.
