Monitor for GTX 970 SLI?

[amanfr01]

Hey all.

So I'm currently running two OC'ed Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970's. I also have a 24" 1080p 60hz refresh rate monitor. It's quite a few years old. That being said, I'm looking to purchase a new monitor. Should I do 1440p or another 1080p with a better refresh rate? Would 1440p affect my FPS heavily? Here's my predicament:

I currently have my Wii U and PC hooked up to this single monitor via an HDMI splitter. Do 1440p monitors use HDMI or is it their own format? I guess I could always just keep this monitor and use it as a 'TV' for my consoles. I guess I just don't know where to go from here.

All I know is that I want a better monitor for my GPU setup. Any suggestions?

24" is the best size and 120hz is probally the best refresh rate because you wont tell the difference on a 24" panel , if you were to get a 27" panel then a 144hz monitor would be better

60hz hdmi

75hz hdmi

120hz hdmi

144hz hdmi

though i dont know the effect on your frames

Is the difference really not that noticeable between 120 or 144hz? If so, what's a good 120 hz monitor? I found a 144hz ASUS one for $279

i dont know i have a 24 inch 60hz and i live in the UK so i dont know if $279 is good value for money

I would suggest a 27 inch 1440p monitor. I have a Dell 2711 which runs on 60hz and I love it. With 970 SLI, you can turn V-sync on and have no tearing with a constant 60fps.

i think you should get a 1440p monitor just because it can run the games very smoothly with the 970's slis

The ASUS VG248QE or the ASUS VN247H are two great choices for monitors.

I'm going to go with the 1440p monitor. Thanks to Bighairyman for a good perspective
