I feel stuck and cannot make a decision.
I primarily play fast paced competitive style games (fps, moba). I value high fps above other attributes in a monitor.
I currently have VG248QE (tn panel, 1080p, 1ms gtg, 144hz). This monitor is awesome, especially considering its been out since 2013, but I'm looking for a second. I built a new pc dec 2019 and acquired an RTX 3070 a few months back.
I can't decide between getting another 1080p, specifically the VG279QM (IPS, 1080p, 280hz, 1ms gtg, gsync, elmb, etc). After doing some reading and research on modern monitors, this one stands out for the 1080p. I'm looking at the Samsun Odyssey G7 or G5 for 1440k, butI'm not set on any one monitor orbrand so I'm open to any suggestions.
I know that 1440k is basically 'the sweet spot' for the RTX 3070, but I still have reservations about the drop in FPS for the competitive style fast paced games that I play. Is it worth the FPS loss for better resolution and image quality?
A lot of people I've talked to are more casual gamers or more into single player games so image quality and color quality is higher value to them than FPS whereas, as stated above, I prefer FPS above other qualities.
For those who play these style of games and have made the jump from 1080 to 1440, what have your experiences been? What are your opinions on the matter? My current thinking is that since I still love my VG248QE in 1080, I will still have this as an option, so I'm kind of leaning more towards going 1440 (i can always return it i suppose). But then I'll read another article about how 1080p is still the best way to go for the style of games I play. I keep going back and forth and just cannot decide. HELP! lol
