Specifically one for gaming, I have a 1060 6gb card, could it manage one of these: I'd really hate to be stuck at 1080p but I might have cheaped out on my card too much, in that case, how about these: I really want the Dell like I said, but if I can't run that resolution I would definitely like the cheaper VG24QE unless G-sync is worth that much more? Anyone know, any advice on any other monitors? I'm using an old 60Hz and want that silky smooth 144 plus Hz for fps'. I could probably get a 4k for the price of the Dell but my card definitely couldn't run that
Hmm, the Amazon links aren't showing up, the monitors are: Dell Gaming S2417DG YNY1D, ASUS ROG SWIFT PG248Q, ASUS VG248QE
I have the VG248QE. I bought it refurbished from Newegg for pretty cheap. The bezel is scuffed but the panel itself is flawless. The viewing angles, colour, and contrast are lacking (TN panel) but the refresh and response are outstanding. The 3D feature is not something I'm interested in using but would require the 3D glasses kit in any case. Sometimes the 3D actually fucks with games that automatically want to run in it, such as FIFA. I use the monitor for gaming and browsing (scrolling this page and other websites is great at 144hz) and a second, larger monitor for video. Unless you're getting a lot of screen tearing during games I don't know if it is worth paying twice as much for the other two models.
I use a 40" UHD TV. I like the size and the 4K resolution when not gaming. You can reduce the resolution for games that aren't getting you high enough framerate. The TV might not be responsive enough. Most are 60Hz or 120Hz refresh. Check the specs before you buy.
I'll probably wait until Black Friday at this point for the Dell or ROG to go under 300, and if that doesn't happen I'll get that model. I found a 4k Asus for like 350 but I would probably only be able to run games on low, so don't see the point of that yet.
I've been looking at that and this https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsa...sort=new&restrict_sr=on&feature=legacy_search
4k on a 1060 is a definite no. 144 1080, you can get on some games out there such as CSGO, etc. If I were you i would stick with 1080 for now. 144 hz is great for fps but it all depends on what you are playing. My first 1080 144hz monitor was this though... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009642&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Monitors - LCD Flat Panel-_-N82E16824009642&gclid=Cj0KCQjwn6DMBRC0ARIsAHZtCeMcZfTRQAFJyBZMTo32jZ-vlvBBRL0EqnaZFkctlncLzFNlT5KTH-QaAjSpEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds right now I am using two monitors, one 1080p 144 and a 1440p 144 hz. Both Acer monitors
I'm okay with only playing on high on 1400p for now, so I'll probably keep on eye on that Dell for now. I plan to pick up Star War Battlefront 2, maybe Destiny 2, and probably Overwatch when it hits 20 bucks just to test the 144Hz on whatever monitor I do get. I'm not the biggest fps player though, I prefer games like Skyrim and Total War.
And you ask yourself why you go to bed alone every night with nothing but lotion and a towel by your side.........
Ok. You might already know this but FreeSync is not compatible with your video card. You can still use a FreeSync monitor but you won't be able to get the benefit of AMD's proprietary anti-tearing feature as you would with a G-Sync monitor. FreeSync monitors tend to be cheaper as they are using software whereas nVidia's G-Sync is a hardware chip built into the monitor and adds about $150 to it.
To tag this message, please note that refresh isn't the only thing to look for in a TV-for-monitor. Response time is important if you want to avoid motion blur/ghosting. Most TV's don't have a quick response time (<10ms). If anyone is looking to PC or Windows-on-Mac game with a TV as a monitor keep an eye out for the response time spec of the unit. The lower the better.
I only play one game. It runs 60fps on my laptop with high settings at 4K. Nvidia 1050 with 2G RAM. It works fine on the TV, too.
