I currently have a Samsung U28D590D 4k monitor powered by two MSI 1080 GPUs, but I don't feel like this monitor can push the two gpus to their fullest potential when playing games because it's capped at 60fps. So thats why I want to invest in a second monitor that isn't 4k which will mostly be used for gaming so G-Sync, and high Hz is necessary. The style of the monitor should look similar to the Samsung U28D590D 4k monitor, mostly black and silver with little bright colours. The size of the monitor should be either 27", 28" or bigger but not ultrawide, so aspect ratio of 16:9, please. My budget for the 2nd monitor is $900 AUD, but if a good monitor close to my budget shines I am able to push the budget a little bit. I hope you guys can recommend me a suitable 2nd monitor for my needs, Thank you!.
 

I don't want a 4k, since 4k is limited to 60Hz. I forgot to mention that in the question.

Or maybe a 1440p Ultrawide with 144Hz?

What about the Acer Predator XB271HU? https://www.jw.com.au/acer-predator-xb271hu-27-g-sync-ips-led-monitor?___SID=U


 

Now I'm stuck choosing between the Acer Predator XB271HU and the ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q even though the ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q is much more expensive, but damn it looks better.
