[SOLVED] I have a GTX 1060 6GB, should I get a 75Hz or 144hz monitor (1080p)

75Hz monitor:
AOC G2590VXQ
144Hz monitor:
AOC G2590FX

Depends on the games you play, for more competitive FPS games then you'll want the 144hz but for single player/less competitive/MMO's then the 75hz would be fine and save you a little bit of money.

Honestly depends on what games you play and your price range. I personally would never buy a TN panel, I'd go for an IPS, or even VA panel. TN has awful color, but has the benefit of being very cheap, and is easily capable of 120+ Hz; I think this: https://www.amazon.com/AOC-C32V1Q-1...itor+75hz&qid=1552319191&s=electronics&sr=1-4 is a good compromise of color, refresh rate, and price, just still at 1080p.

edit: @WildCard999 pretty much hit the nail on the head regarding the question. Definitely look in to the different color options though! (TN vs VA vs IPS vs HDR)

I am not really interested in colour. I play games like R6, assassin's creed and Destiy 2. My most important question is, is if my gpu (1060) will be good enough for 144hz, or would I have to turn down the setting to low to achieve that fps. There's about 70 dollars difference between the monitors that I am looking at. Or would it be better if just went for a 75hz one?

Ok, so in R6/Destiny 2 you will benefit from the 144hz due to the fast action but in games like AC: Odyssey you won't really see the difference between 75/144hz. If it's "worth it" is only something you can determine. I used to play at 144hz on a 16:9 monitor all the time then tried 2560x1080P/75hz/IPS and absolutely love it over my previous 16:9/144hz/1080P panel. I don't play as many competitive FPS as I used to however when I do jump back into one such as BF4 I don't feel like I'm lacking due to having 75hz instead of 144hz and I do like the extra peripheral view of 21:9. Ultra wide may be something to consider as it would fit into your budget and those games do support it...

How much fps loss would I encounter if the resolution was 2560x1080, how much less fps than using 1920x1080?

I can't give you an exact answer as it's going to vary from game to game but my build is similar so I can tell you what I get in Destiny 2 & AC: Odyssey.

D2: High preset, avg: 65 FPS.
ACO: Med preset, avg: 50 FPS (Horribly optimized).
