  1. Couch gaming is very unlikely. But what I mean to get at is that I am willing to make a small concession towards picture quality since I am not playing the games I like to play very competitively. Would you have me a tip on how I can find out about benchmark for yet unreleased games? I've run the machine through userbenchmark/3dmark/heaven/ and one more thing I can't remember but as you say the context is important.
  2. Th I knew I forgot some things there... In order: 1. Top of my head what my GPU will have to chew on is: Squad, Witcher 3, Borderlands 3 (soon), Escape From Tarkov (maybe), and maybe some battlefield or other online coop games, red dead? COD? (~). 2. I am not planning on upgrading this Monitor any time soon. See 4., sure nice if the monitor has some upward mobility. 3. Exclusively gaming, so yeah, bad viewing angles in a TN is not that big of a deal 4. GPU was used from a friend, a steal at 130USD, I plan to keep this card at least 2-3 years, suspect I then I may start looking for an upgrade. Thanks for the summary/guidelines, it helps. I know IPS is not that fast, but since I am not playing CSGO/Squad/similar competitively I am willing to make some concessions when it comes to picture quality. Keep in mind that i've never experienced the difference, so that is where I rely on friends/advise to pick the right thing. I wasn't sure if i could do 1440p, good to know the GPU should be able to do it, (i am downloading the benchmarks to see what I am capable of now), but either way, ssinceI am sticking with 24 inch, the 1440p can be disregarded for now. Bottleneck -> exactly what I am trying to find out, but not knowing much about how to interpret results makes it a bit difficult, following guides and I'll fire up 3Dmark later. Sadly I have no closer choice as of now, I just started looking and trying my best to figure out what my PC could even handle. (it is a ~1500 USD rig, hand selected/picked)
  3. Hey Yall, would like to ask some help/opinion from this community. I need a monitor. I'm in Asia so I want to grab smth of the local shops so I can just pick it up, no shipping needed. Local offer with G-Sync certified is e.g. a ASUS VG258Q @330USD System: GPU 1070ti, i-9700k 3.6ghz, ROG strix z390e, .... Wanted size: 24-25 inch (reason, size is more comfortable at the distance I'll be sitting and my 1070ti is not quite enough yet to really consider 1440p) Panel: TN or IPS, IPS preferred for some prettier scenes and because I can hopefully spare the upgrade money. Budget: money is not really an issue, I just want to spend a reasonable amount to get bang for buck and not some high end performance at disproportional cost, Question becomes: Should I just call it a day and go with the asus? Can't go wrong with it? Or am I backing myself in a corner here by spending too much/too little, or buying the wrong panel. Gsync compatible/gsync/gsync ultimate ? I am a bit lost.... Thank you for reading! (edited for clarity)
