Right now i have a 144hz 1080p monitor ( no gsync unfortunately 🙁 ) and was wondering if it would be worth getting a 1440p 144hz gsync monitor?

I know i wont be getting 144fps on 2k

Just wondering if its worth dropping the extra $ and getting one?
 
Solution
A 1440/144 G-Sync isnt cheap. But I guess your gaming style will dictate whether or not it'll be worth the investment. It's @1.7x as many pixels as 1080p, which is a considerable drain on a gpu, so you'd be a better guage of fps with the games you play now at 1080p. Cut your current fps by @1/3. If that's acceptable, and detail settings are acceptable, go for it. If not then you'd have to decide if it's a investment for a future gpu upgrade to a 2080 or similar. You'll have to be able to justify the expense because as is, with a 1070ti, it's pushing it.


I don't mind if i don't get 144ps as long as its 60+ from med-high
 


Depends on the game really on what you will be getting and how low you change the settings.

Really NEED a GTX 1080, RTX 2080 or GTX 1080Ti.

The GTX 1070Ti is on the weak side for 1440P.

Yeah a GTX 1080Ti or RTX 2080 is perfect for 1440P.
 
I have been very happy with my 1070 @1440p/144hz/gsync for the past 2 1/2 years. 1440p at 27” with some settings turned down still looks better than 1080p ultra.

I’d definitely go for it and be in great shape down the road when your next gpu really makes it scream.
 


Thank you! I do plan on getting a 2080, but not for a while since I need to get a monitor and then i will eventually upgrade the gpu, Thanks!!
 


so basically no point in going from a 1070ti to a 2070?
 


Not really no, but it would be better than what you have now, ave about 10 FPS faster at 1440P.

But I would recommend a RTX 2080.
 


alright, ill get a monitor first and then will save up for the 2080! ( Unless I can find a 1080ti for a good price )
 

well that was quick.. got a 1440p 144hz gsync monitor and bought a used 1080ti for a really good deal!!

ended up selling my 1070ti for the price i paid it for, and bestbuy had a dell 1440p monitor on sale... its not 27" but its 24 and its perfect for me !
