ACER X34A vs ASUS PG348Q ? Which to get ?

Hey Peeps,

Greetings from the U.K !!

 

So I am currently building my new PC, everythings installed just unsure about the GPU and Monitor to go for.

Here is the parts-picker link - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/hLr28K

So...I have my heart set out on the TITAN XP, but may opt for a overclocked 1080 if I find a good deal on a AIO based card.

Now for the monitor....which one do I get ?

 

I've had a look online and most of the reviews say that you cant go wrong with either of the those.....but which one is the better of the two?

 

Another monitor which caught my eye was the Acer 32" XB321HK (4K) which does look quite nice.

Please let me know guys, I look forward to your reply.

Just comes down to price or whichever you like the look of best. Neither of them have a particular edge over the other.

 

If you're planning to go 4K, you'll have to lower some settings to maintain a steady 60FPS.

I went from an Asus xb280hk 4k monitor to an Acer predator x34 and I highly justify my move!

3440×1440 looks great, isn't a massive ass to run and runs at 100hz out of the box!

Thanks for your reply,

Do you think a 1080 would be able to run most games at 40-50 fps at 4k? Also wouldnt G-SYNC help out...?

Thanks for your reply.

Are you using the X34 or the X34A ?

It looks like the X34 original is discontinued and now you can only buy the X34A in the U.K.

G-Sync only eliminates screen tearing and stuttering and simply offers a more 'fluid' experience. It doesn't affect performance.

 

Yes, you're looking at around 40-50FPS with max settings at 4K with a GTX 1080.
