Is the Alien Ware 2518HF 244hz monitor worth it ?

[keen17]

I need a monitor for my gtx 1080 and an I7 700k . I was thinking about alien ware 2518HF 244hz but I’m anxious that this is overkill and should go for a standard 144hz monitor . Dose anyone have any advice they can give me.


Many thank,

Honestly, it is not worth it. The difference between 144Hz and 244hz is not noticeable to the average user. It may have subtle differences in terms of quick turnings but that's it. I would personally purchase a 1440p 144hz instead of 1080p 244hz.
