Triple 1080p or 1 1440p!

Totally-A-Hero

So, i right now have 1 1080p monitor. I can get two of the same monitors i have for around $350 OR i can get a 1440p monitor for around $350 ish. Right now i have a 7870 but i will be upgrading around christmas time to a 300 or 900 series GPU. Thanks for the input.

 

EDIT: Someone offered to buy me a monitor, this is the reason for the sudden upgrade.

 

EDIT 2: If i do go 1440p, any good monitors (also cheap) that you would recommend?

@Lays went from triple 1080p to 1440p and loves it. I run 1440p as well on a 7870 and love it. I still recommend having a secondary monitor though (your current 1080p one would do fine)

WHERE'S MY OPTION TO VOTE POTATO

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

I think this is the right solution. You can game on the 1440p one and do second task stuff on the other one, plus you can upgrade to a second 1440p one later.

I once had one of these, now I've got this.

Fine I play BF4 on high no AA with a steady 60 fps. Lots of Arma 3 on mid/high aswell. As long as you keep AA off the 7870 handles it surprisingly well

1080p monitor is actually in the next 2-3 things on my to-buy list. I might get the one Nick just posted the review of, the Curved 21:9 one from LG. Depends on the response time though.

I love my Korean XStar, cheap and does everything the others do. You can usually find the PB278Qs ons ale for around 400$

i feel your pain, i got my friends together for a lan and we tested it out before i actually went and bought 3. even with three mismatched monitors i still loved it and once i got three slim bezel screens i knew i wasnt turning back :)

If you mean the 34uc79 its pretty sick, a friend of mine ordered one, I would almost consider selling my triple 1080's and buying one if i wasnt broke lol

Get the 1440p monitor now and later on you'll want to get at least one more. Trust me. 

Thank you!
