Hello All,
So I am trying to decide on a monitor upgrade for my newly built computer.
I am looking for a monitor that has a refresh rate greater than 120 Hz (144 Hz is good) and has G-Sync. I like the ability to turn my settings to high or ultra if the option is there and I tend to crank up the AA (I am not sure if high AA is needed on a 1440p monitor). I normally play games like Mass Effect, Bioshock, Dragon Age, Fallout and Guild Wars 2 and I plan on playing any new iteration of those games as well (Mass Effect 4, Dragon Age Inquisition, ect).
My current computer build will be with me for the next 4-5 years, so I do not plan on upgrading the GPU’s until at least at least 4-5 years from now (this is due to budgetary issues).
I want to make sure that the monitor that I choose will be utilized fully. I do not want to get a monitor where in a year or two my 780Ti’s won’t be able to push more than 60 Hz without having to drop the settings significantly.
My two choices are:
Choice 1: Asus ROG Swift PG278Q; 1440p; 144 Hz; G-Sync
Choice 2: Asus VG248QE; 1080p; 144 Hz; G-Sync pre-installed
Thank you in advance!!
