Which monitor should i choose for this rig?

oszkom

I did a lot of Research and these are the 6 monitors i need to choose from:

3440 x 1440 @ 100hz NO G-SYNC
ASUS MX34VQ
Samsung C34F791
3840 X 2160 @ 60hz G-SYNC
Acer Predator XB271HKbmiprz
ASUS PG27AQ
2560 X 1440 G-SYNC @ 165hz
Acer Predator XB271HUbmiprz
Asus ROG Swift PG279Q
AOC AGON AG271QG
 
i have a 4k ips 27 inch screen which i really like but some games fail to make 60 fps on that resolution so i really miss g-sync.
i have a single gtx 1080, what do you think, if for example 1 game reaches 60 fps on 4k, would it make 100 fps on 3440x1440?
i would't use it as 2nd monitor, i live in 2 places and i move weekly, i manage to move my pc in a case but i can't move the monitor.
Also, which do you think would look better? the VA or the IPS panel?
Thanks for the answers.

These all cost the same in my country by the way.

assuming you are asking about gaming:

4K displays are still too much to handle for current GPUs (even 1080 stuggle a lot in many games to even score 60 FPS at ultra settings).

first of all - I would go with ultrawide anytime instead of "normal" 4K.

then 3440x1440 sound like the right resolution to me for various reasons, only one of them is that only about half the pixels need to be handeled compared to 4K. That's where 1070/1080s shine today, I'd call it the sweet spot :-)

If you need (???) g-sync go with this one: ASUS PG348Q - if you don't need G-Sync: go with the Asus you mentioned

 

if you are not talking about gaming, forget everything I just said and sate your use case first please :-)

And what Graphics card are you using?

EDIT: Ignore that - i just re-read the question.   1 x GTX 1080

 

My vote:  Go for a 1440p Ultrawide with G-Sync and high refresh.

Yeah, well that's the thing i can't get: ultrawide and g-sync.

the ones with g-sync cost around 400 usd more in my country and i dont have that much extra to spend.

so that's the question: ultrawide 2k 100hz without g-sync, or is that worth the downgrade to 16.9 2k with g sync and a higher refresh rate?

I personally think that G-Sync is overrated. So I would opt for the Asus you mentioned.
