Hey everyone! I have a little bit of a problem and am wondering if there is any possible "fix"... So I recently bought the 240Hz G-Sync Asus monitor(PG258Q) on DP and as the second monitor I now have is a standard 60Hz monitor on HDMI. I was kinda reading and apperantly its a very common issue... When I play a game and am using g-sync + 240Hz on main monitor it will be laggy if there is any "animated" things going on the second screen. For example any moving image on the second screen will make it lag on the main one... Gifs, stream preview, flashing icons,... Is there any way to make it not lag? I already tried plugging the 2nd monitor into the motherboard, but my PC just can't handle it and that is not an option... Any help/info is appreciated ^^

Before I get started... I have an Asus 1080 O8G GPU, intel 8700k CPU, 16GB RAM, 650W Power Supply so both monitors would be easy to handle probably... PG248Q - 24", 1080p, 144Hz-180Hz, 1ms, G-Sync, TN - 400€ PG279Q - 27", 1440p, 165Hz, 4ms, G-Sync, IPS - 700€ For the past few months I have been debating between these two monitors and I am still not confident if I want to upgrade to a 1440p monitor... What are your opinions on these 2 monitors? Is the PG279Q really worth the 300€ more? I mainly focus on playing fortnite as of now and I don't play on highest settings beacuse I want performance in that game mainly, but sometimes a new singleplayer or good graphics game comes out and I want it to look good when I play it... Whichever one I would choose would probably perform 10x better than what I have and if anyone has experience with IPS vs TN panels, how big is the difference? And do you think 700€ is too much to pay for a monitor at this moment?

So the question is self-explanatory... Does the Benq/Zowie brand have g-sync monitors? They have monitors used in esports but I cannot find any info on their website about g-sync... I want at least 144hz and a 1080p display with gsync... And since it would be 144hz, I want gsync to prevent tearing at frame-drops... Can someone point me in the right way? ? If that combination is even possible?

Thanks for all the info!

So I am interested in buying a monitor in the near future and I want cool people like you to help me out ? I stream and play games and im not looking at the quality too much, more competitive gaming... From what I saw(for example in PUBG) is that on a 1440p resolution the game lags beacuse it is not optimized i guess(I have a 1080 O8G, 8700k,...). I want a monitor with G-Sync, prefferably IPS panel with 144hz or more refresh rate... The problem there is that I cannot find any 1080p monitors that would have g-sync and 144hz+... Question 1: From a performance side... Are games just not optimized for 1440p resolutions or was it just the case with PUBG? Question 2: If I buy a 1440p monitor(example: Asus PG279Q) and downscale to 1080p, how bad would the quality be beacuse lower pixel density? Question 3: People say that I should go with 1080p, but how different would it be to 1440p? This whole post might make zero to no sense, but Im kind of lost on everything now so maybe someone can clear up my head about this...

@Skiiwee29 Wtff ? Temps are at 65max right now haha... Does this mean i will have lower performance when gaming?

@Skiiwee29 I changed the Override input from auto to 1.2 and it works now...

@Skiiwee29 Now i changed it to manual and it went to 1.344V after restart and I cant change the number... Are you sure this is correct?

@Skiiwee29 So, I'm in ny BIOS and trying to figure out what to do to set the vcore voltage to constant 1.2V... Do i have to change the "CPU Core/Cache Voltage" to manual mode and then set the number at 1.2 at the "CPU Core Voltage Override"?

Hey, so I'm using a Hyper 212 EVO cooler for my 8700k which i didn't overclock. I ran Aida64 again after around 3 months after I bulilt my PC and at 2 minutes of stress testing, i stopped it beacuse it was reaching 87-95°C... The first time I built it and ran it was getting around 85°C max on 1 core... I'm really worried about it getting overheated and wrecked if I don't upgrade soon... Would a h100i v2 be a lot better or what should I do to improve? (Besides a noctua cooler that takes over the whole space haha)

thanks @DieselWeasel, and yes i saw the "slo mo guys's" video and when zoomed in enough you can see red,green,blue squares/rectangles throughout all of the screen. I'll make the LCD text a bit more understandable and look into it more... Thanks for the info Edit: Pa glih opazu sm da si tut slovenc LUL; Pa list proizvajalcov ni glih po vrst, sam ene par sm jih dou gor.

Ok, now I swear this is my last message haha @SolarNova thanks for "verifying" my information

@SolarNova My presentation "recap": (still gotta finish some parts but mostly its done... Just gotta make a powerpoint then and present on wednesday.. ) COMPUTER MONITORS General(unfinished) CRT monitors– Cathode Ray Tube Display Cathode rays were discovered by Johann Hittorf in 1869. These monitors produce analog images. 3 electron guns (red, blue, green) fire beams of electrons onto the phosphor screen to produce the image. The screen uses a raster scanner to build up the image from top to bottom and left to right. It moves so fast that we can’t see it happening. Because these screens are analog, the colour intensity is being adjusted by how much voltage and power is used. Less power means less bright images and the other way around. CRT monitors were very big and heavy, so it was hard to move them around the room. One of the disadvantages was also the high-power consumption which was improved with today’s monitors. LCD monitors– Liquid Crystal Display George Heilmeier invented a device in 1964 that could change the colour of the LQ in a way that he could influence the orientation of the colour molecules in LQ. His research led to the discovery of the first LCD screen which needed a big current of electricity to run. So, the LCD screen work by having a fluorescent backlight and the light goes through a polarizing filter, then the LQ and a colour filter and in the end through another polarizing filter to the user. These monitors are rarely used today because a technology was made to use a better backlight. That was the LED technology... LED LCD– Light Emitting Diode Displays The LED technology works very similar to LCD’s, but instead of a fluorescent backlight, these screens use light emitting diodes or LED’s which are a lot smaller and more energy efficient at the same time. They also have a better colour reproduction and have a longer lifespan. Because LED’s are smaller the monitors and other displays can be made thinner. Connector Types(unfinished) VGA DVI HDMI Display Port Resolution The resolution of a screen is a number that tells us how many pixels the screen has. The more pixels the screen has, the more graphics processing power you will need to show the image on a screen. The bigger resolution your monitor has the more icons and space you will have on the screen itself. The most standard resolution today is 1920x1080 or just 1080p for short, which is a total of 2 073 600 pixels. Other very known and used resolutions are 720p, 1440p and the highest resolution available in the market right now, 4k. Size The size of the screen is important and is usually scaled together with the resolution to have the best combination (1080p usually has 24’ screens, 1440p 27’ and so on…). The main measurement is usually provided in inches. If the monitor size is too big for the resolution the image is not going to be very sharp because of the low pixel-density. Panel Type TN-Twisted Nematic Panel; Cheap and most commonly They have the least accurate colour reproduction and the viewing angles are very narrow + meaning, can support faster response times and higher refresh rates than IPS panels. TN panels are more used by gamers because of the high Refresh Rates and response times. + don’t need viewing angles as much VA- Vertical Alignment Panel; Good midrange option, not as common as TN, better colour reproduction than TN, black colour is most accurate out of the different panels, not good viewing angles. IPS- In-Panel-Switching; Most expensive panel out of all 3 options, great colour accuracy and much better viewing angles that TN and VA, recommended panel types for graphics designers & photographers, usually don’t come in high refresh rates and response times. Refresh Rate The refresh rate tells how many times per second the screen will refresh. This is especially important for competitive gamers because the higher refresh rate you have, the smoother the image will look. Most monitors come with a refresh rate of 60Hz which means you will only see 60 frames per second on a 60Hz monitor. When upgrading from a 60Hz monitor to a 144Hz one you will instantly feel the difference, but for gamers that means you will need a more powerful PC which will get at least 144FPS on a game otherwise your monitor will not be able to operate at 144Hz and you will get screen tearing. G-sync and Free-Sync That’s why most high refresh rate monitors come with technologies like Nvidia’s G-sync and AMD’s Free-Sync which will eliminate screen tearing by forcing the display to adapt to the framerate of the graphics card. This technology is very expensive now and needs a graphics card that supports the technology. Response Time The response time tells how fast the screen will respond to certain actions performed by the user. Most monitors come with a response time from 1ms to 5ms. A lower response time is better and 1ms right now is the lowest response time you can get. TN panels have the best response times and IPS panels usually have a response time from 3-5ms.

@SolarNova This is how i kinda understood: Im doing a "computer monitors" presentation and the main groups are CRT and LCD monitors. LCD monitors have different panels(TN,IPS,VA) and we have different LCD monitors(normal LCD and LED backlit LCD, ("OLED"-LCD)), right? Or are OLED's just a different type of monitors but are not used beacuse of the disadvantages you mentioned above?

Will do, thanks again @SolarNova
