Acer XR341CKA

[epkklondon]

Hey guys, I need your help.

 

So I bought the LG 34UC87 3440x1440p Ultrawide monitor about a week and a half ago on Amazon. Linus just reviewed the Acer XR341CKA on Vessel and it seems really interesting. It has the 75hz rating, IPS, led lighting, and also the adaptive sync. The adaptive sync is kind of where I run into my problem.

 

In my rig I run SLI Strix 970's. Would it be dumb for me to exchange the LG ultrawide for the Acer ultrawide even when the freesync wouldn't apply to me due to my cards? Pretty much the only thing stopping me from doing it.

 

Amazon link for the Acer ultrawide:

You mean the Acer XR341CK right? Not the Acer XR341CKA, because that one is the G sync version not yet released, where as the Acer XR341CK is the released freesync one. 

 

You could always wait and see how the Acer XR341CKA turns out, then you would actually benefit from the g sync from your 970's, and it will have a 100Hz refresh rate instead of the 75Hz on the Acer XR341CK.

Hell wth waiting for g-sync and 200 extra dollars. NVIDIA fan boys care nothing of cost vs performance just filling nvidias pockets

Right? Why wait for an improvement in refresh rates? Why not save that money and instead buy into a monitor with features he can't use? ALL I SEE IS GREEN

Where is this review of the XR34 from Linus you speak of? I cannot see that anywhere.
