1440p gaming on 4K Monitor

[IAR117]

Hi, I wanted a 1440p monitor for my pc- R9 Fury X I7 4790 16GB DDR3 and I found that there was a 4k IPS Freesync monitor for not much more, the-

LG 27UD58

Will I be able to play games at 1440p on this monitor, as I doubt that I will get 60 FPS on medium/ high settings at 4K.

Will it look strange or should I go for for a 1440p panel-

DELL UltraSharp U2515H

Thanks In Advance

Your much better running the games at 4k at medium than 1440 as scaling on lcd's look s like crap. 

 

Id just run at 4k.

Would I be able to run 4K at medium or higher settings, 4x AA and get 60fps?

You don't really need aa at 4k.

 

You should be able to run medium at 4k in most games fine. What games?

I suppose thats right about AA, I'd be playing Forza Horizon 3, Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege and other AAA games

Yep, you can run those at 4k just fine.

Ok thanks, I didn't think that my PC was that powerful

Is 4GB HBM good enough for 4k in future though

we don't know, but should be fine for a few more years.

well considering games already eat up about 5 gigs on my 1080 at 1440p, I'd say no

4K on a 27'' monitor is pointless...4K you start to see real benefits at around 35'' display or more...get a 27'' 1440p monitor (not the 25'')

Oh, would a 390X be better for 4K/1440p

it's a weaker card, but will be able to hold higher quality textures and the like

tbh, you'd be better off waiting until Vega to see if AMD can produce a nice 8 gig card to compete with the 1080 at 4K

yes that's nice it's 27'' IPS 2560x1440 it will look great for gaming.

better than if I got a 4k panel and played at 1440p?

hummm i'm not sure...4K is A LOT of pixels at 27'' the PPI is very high so i think rendering at 1440p on such a monitor would still look great i think to be honest...and it has freesync...i would go with the LG 4K if the cost is about the same.

[IAR117]

It costs a little less. Would it be worth paying 80 pounds more for a 1070 as it has double the vram?

yeah but you would loose Freesync capabilities...

What if I bought an 8GB RX 480 now and added another one for CF in future
