The free syncs have just sold out at my local stores but when is the gsync coming? does it have VESA? I still love my 34uc97 but I'm so interested in the gsync and ultrawide.
 
https://youtu.be/wawMmS19noQ   https://youtu.be/gKg3cEyiNP4   A couple of short video's of the 34" Ultrawide and 4k UHD monitors compared for size.

Performance optimization is one of the last things done in a game. So wait until it's released and then see if they've actually done it. They might do it after the release.
 
There might be some performance optimization down the line if they make some big changes in the code. And when they release DX12 version you might gain performance boost.
 
Just check the development plans, patch notes and what the community demands and you'll get an idea when the performance optimization comes.

Its been a long wait for GTA V on PC. Ive done my best to hold out and only sucumbed to a few random plays at friends houses. I havent had my LG 34uc97 ultrawide monitor long but I was a bit worried about the fast pace of GTA and if I would get any screen tearing and motion blur. But it is amazing!!! 3rd person camera view is awesome on the ultra wide monitors. I guess the biggest helper is having only one GPU (Titan X) powering the 3440 x 1440p monitor. Im happy they took the time to get the game right. Gee, I'm going to clock some hours up on this beauty!

You are one fortunate individual
Have fun with that

Well damn.

I just inspected them all and I cant see anything. (other than me being rough with the edges. But if you buy the correct tools off ebay and be gentle and use the correct techniques you can debezel them and leave no marks. It doesnt bother me because I will keep these monitors for a long time. I might even buy 2 more and change from Sli GTX titans to AMD quadfire 8970's (if they are good) 5x1 eyefinity protrait would be the ultimate!

I like the pexel density of the 24". Ive had both monitors aswell.
 
Here is some info on the monitors that are compaitble with 3d vision and lightboost.

ASUS VG278H 27"
+ Better-than-average LightBoost color
+ Easier to enable LightBoost, due to builtin emitter
+ Can exceeds 700:1 contrast ratio in LightBoost (when recalibrated after setting Contrast OSD=75% or 80%)
- LightBoost artifacting (corsstalk) becomes bad if you raise Contrast to 90% instead of 65%. (nearly invisible ghosting at 65% though)

ASUS VG278HE 27"
- This may not be consistent on all VG278HE's but some of them reportedly had a more amplified LCD inversion artifact (pixel checkerboard artifact similiar to this), and hazmatm compared VG278H vs VG278HE and 3 others concurred.
- This is the display reviewed by TFTCentral's Motion Blur Reduction Backlights Article.

ASUS VG248QE 24"
+ Clearer than average LightBoost (lack of crosstalk, lack of faint ghost double-image aftifact) -- no ghosting, no overdrive artifacts, no trailing, nothing at all
+ Best CRT effect according to many (e.g. Vega)
- Poor color. Lower contrast ratio, about 500:1 (reportedly as low as 250:1 with buggy new 320.18+ drivers)
- Occasionally a very faint scanlines effect at the upper-right corner (some samples)

BENQ XL2411T 24"
... Similiar to VG248QE. It uses the same panel as VG248QE.

BENQ XL2420T 24"
+ Very good color for a LightBoost monitor.
- Poor LightBoost trailing artifacts; I've heard a few reports of LCD inversion artifacts (pixel checkerboard artifact, similiar to this). This is a different/older panel than the XL2411T

BENQ XL2720T 27"
+ Very good color for a LightBoost monitor with newest drivers (320.18+)
+ Reportedly can approach nearly 1000:1 contrast ratio in LightBoost
- Poor color with older drivers
- Slight dark ghosting effect during LightBoost, but not too strong

Some monitor samples can unexpectedly have worse attributes (e.g. more LCD inversion artifact -- checkerboard artifact -- than others). For example, while my XL2411T does not have a noticeable LightBoost checkerboard artifact, one person reported theirs had a noticeable version of this artifact. Eventually someone needs to obtain all LightBoost monitors and execute the Great LightBoost Comparison Test. Also, I am creating a new LightBoost FAQ page on Blur Busters (e.g. answers common LightBoost questions with known answers), as a supplement, it should be published within the next two weeks.

Also within the same LightBoost monitor, via monitor menus:
- For a brighter image, increase LightBoost %
- For a dimmer image (but clearer motion), decrease LightBoost %
- For less checkerboard artifact, decrease Contrast %
- For less LightBoost trailing artifacts, decrease Contrast % on monitor to 65%
- For less gamma bleaching effect, decrease Contrast % on monitor to 65%
- For maximum color gamut (when recalibrating with a Spyder4 or i1 Pro), increase Contrast % to 90% before beginning colorimeter calibration. Better colors and contrast will occur, but you will get somewhat worse LightBoost trailing artifacts. In certain cases, it is possible to approach 1000:1 contrast ratio with LightBoost on some of the better 27" models.
...Bottom line, you will be wanting to choose a compromise picture setting based on preferences.

Best Color -- If you want a color/contrast champion for LightBoost, the VG278H and XL2720T is probably your best bet.
Minimum Artifacts -- If you want a fast-responding panel with very clean CRT effect (minimum possible LightBoost artifacts) or minimum possible 3D crosstalk, the VG248QE and XL2411T is your best bet.
 
 
 
Dont forget most color and contrast problems can be altered and made better with a color calibrator. Most of these monitors come from the factory with poor color.

I would still rather the ASUS VG248QE = 1ms response time and less than 5ms in put lag and its 144 FRAMES PER SECOND and does 3D.
 
Plus you can debezel the ASUS Monitor

Hi people,   I would like to share the video i made on how to debezel and mount the VG248QE in portrait surround/eyefinity.  Surely this technique can be adapted for other monitors. Hopefully this thread will inspire others to give it a go.  If you have debezelled monitors please share the love and show us your setup too!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeDNb2Vebfk       A Gamers Quick Review of the ASUS VG248QE 144hz 3D Monitor
 
   

Go the ASUS VG248QE is not bad = 1ms response time and less than 5ms in put lag and its 144 FRAMES PER SECOND and does 3D.
 
Arround the $260 mark
 
Plus you can debezel the ASUS Monitor if you decide one day to buy 2 more.

Here is the review I wrote.
http://www.overclock.net/products/asus-vg248qe-24-144hz-1ms-gtg-widescreen-led-backlight-lcd-3d-monitor-built-in-speakers/reviews/6056
 
The ASUS VG248QE is an awesome monitor for FPS and Racing games! Its enhanced refresh rate is amazing at 1ms response time and the low input lag of less than 5ms is unheard of. Some serious advances in TN technology have been made with ASUS’s VG248QE. Also now we're almost getting as good colour representation as with the favourite budget IPS panels. So beautiful colors just like the IPS panels but with a quicker response rate, perfect for those fast-paced 3D games. Outside of the 3D modes they're great monitors, offering a smooth desktop experience with a top-of-the-range 144Hz refresh rate. The sad thing is that this 24-inch version isn't much cheaper than the 27-inch one ithink that because the pixels are to big and noticeable on 27” version. Also the 24” is better for Portrait Surround Gaming. However they are the same native resolution, full tilt/rotation, a VESA-compatible stand and great image quality. I think most of us will agree that a decent 120-144Hz screen is a rather desirable little gaming panel. Plus the added bonus of Nvidia 3D Vision with Lightboost.
3D Vision is as is expected. Its performs better than the VG278H that I used to have in crosstalk. But unlike the VG278H you have to purchase a 3D Vision Kit separately. Lucky I had all the gear already which brings me to my once passion/obsession. Before I purchased 3 of these monitors, debezelled them and mounted them in Portrait Surround. I loved gaming in Stereoscopic 3D! The first taste of it was back in 2010 with my ASUS G51J-3D Laptop. It was had an image display of 15” at only 1366 x 768. But I loved gaming on it even though I had to drop the setting because it had a Nvidia 360M gpu. I even bought a 3d Fuji camera, Some of the pictures I’ve taken are awesome. I even built a underwater housing for it and took it scuba diving. 3D coral and fish just popping out everywhere! Sorry just reliving the past!!! Anyways I purchased a 3d TV and eventually upgraded to a proper Gaming Rig – 3x VG279H monitors and 2-way SLI GTX 680s 4gb graphics cards. It was awesome! Surround 3D gaming looks great but I was one of those people that could not stand thick bezels and I never fully got immersed into games. So I done some research and people all over the place were saying 1440p is where its at for gaming. Buy the Korean monitors and its 50 / 50 if you get dead pixels on arrival or if it last more than 3 months. So I decided to give the Samsung S27B970D 27” PLS Monitor a go. I had the Surround VG278H setup for 6 months. The Samsung monitor had great colors that are individually calibrated by Samsung in their factory. It was not good for fast gaming and although the 1440p looked good for pictures it was only 60hz and the motion blur was terrible. So once again I scratched around trying to find a solution. Something that would fully immerse me! I bought an Optoma 3d GT720 projector and I had the intenion of buy 2 more and going surround but the low pixel density just didn’t work. It had ZERO input lag! Yes Zero but it had poor pixel response times meaning it had blurry ness during fast gaming and also the dreaded Rainbow Effect! I ahd almost given up when I stumbled upon a lad called CallSignVega on overclock.net. He showed me his three ASUS VG248QE Monitors in Portrait Surround and it looked stunning! I couldn’t Do the portrait mode with the VG278H monitors that I had because of the 3D emitter that protrudes from the top bezel. Also what is gaming like with the bezels so close and narrow in portrait. So I bit the bullet and purchased 3. They arrive I set them up in Portrait Surround and played a few games. WOW its just so snappy and quick. Everything was so fluid and the detail of having the three monitors in portrait meant that I had 3240 x 1920p @ 42” diagonally. This is a big difference to a TV that’s 42” and 1080p. Plus I had 144hz and low input lag and fast 1ms pixel response. And if you want to basically eliminate motion blur then you can activate the Lightboost mode in 2D (with a work around) and gaming becomes CRT like (480Hz). Also let’s not forget the monitor comes with overlay sights for FPS gaming. They are good and I find them helpful because you can select a gun in Black Ops 2 and not have to unlock, select and waste a space on your load out for a Laser Sight attachment. Handy! I use it every now and then. ASUS really did think of gamers when they designed the VG248QE.
I soon realized that the last piece of the puzzle was to debezel the monitors. I was so scared too! Especially since these monitors are new. But I had to and WOW it’s the cheery on the top! Now when I game I don’t even notice the bezels. Im so fixated on the game play and the extreme detail that I can see. I understand that 4k monitors are coming but unless the make one that’s 120hz with low pixel response, low lag I wont change my setup. The way I see it I will keep these monitors for 7 years minimum. By then I will reassess. I cant recommend these monitors enough. I hope I made my self clear and I tried to show you that I do have experience in what is a good monitor and what is not and how I came to love the VG248QE.

You will love it lads. Especially if you are coming from a 60hz monitor. My last monitor was the Samsung s27b970d it was 1440p and 60hz. I will never go back to it.

I like the pexel density of the 24". Ive had both monitors aswell.

Hi guys just finished debezelling a ASUS VG278H 3d 27" Monitor.

Ive had sli titans and sli 680s both in surround and Ive never ever had a problem. Here is my rig now

Ive only heard bad things about AMD but dont take things people say for real on the net. You basically have to do a heap of research from different sites then decide. Im currently looking to go 5x1 portrait when the 8970s arrive but I will have to wait and see if they still have issues with this.

My sisters boyfriend plays on eyfinity with a 5000 series card and he is at around 45fps on 3x 23" monitors (supposedly) so i would imagine you are okay but i would imagine you settings would be on like medium not ultra :D

I think you should be just fine, as long as you don't expect to get maximum fps in all games. With 4 monitors, you may run into problems with the 2gb cards, but the 6970s by themselves should be able to power 3 or 4 monitors. 

It is so easy man! I was worried too and I done it to these monitors the day I bought them and they cost a total of $1499 in Australia. We totally get price gouged in Oz!

Hi people,   I would like to share the video i made on how to debezel and mount the VG248QE in portrait surround/eyefinity.  Surely this technique can be adapted for other monitors.
