Hey guys
My specs :
Core i7 3770 8MB 3.40 GHz
Asus P8Z77 VLX
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Classified
GEIL 4GBx2 DDR3 Enhance CORSA DUAL CHANNEL PC3-12800 1600MHz C9
Need a monitor, mostly for gaming (also internet).
Not intending to buy another card for SLI.
I play strategy and FPS (shooters) games.
I have an offer for the Samsung U28D590D 4K, for about half the price of ASUS RoG Swift PG278Q.
Not intending to use more than 2560X1440 resolution, but there are no 2560X 1ms monitors for a good price in my area.
My questions are:
1. I`ve heard that the text in windows OS is very small at 4K, can I set a 4K monitor to 2560X1440 to solve it? with no negative effects (in OS and games)?
2. Can I play old games (early 2000s) on 4K monitors, after reducing the resolution ?
3. Is the 60Hz vs 144Hz difference so important? G-SYNC ? specifications of contrast ? other advantages of the Asus ?
4. Is the Asus really worth extra 500$ (for me in my area) ?
Appreciate your answers.
Thanks
