Acer XR382CQK or ASUS ROG Swift PG348Q

[Arkwolf]

So I am stuck between choosing an ultra wide monitor. I am a Dota 2 player and its my main game making up 80% of my current game time with some FPS making up the other (Overwatch and CSGO). The main reason I want an ultrawide is so I can get that extra vision on the side since the new update supports 21:9 monitors.

 

I am torn as I thought a 34 inch monitor would be rather small and upon looking at my mates acer predator x34 I found out its the exact same size as my current ASUS 27 inch monitor, just wider. However I do have a rather large desk that can accommodate the 38 inch monitor. So obviously the pros and cons are something like this.

 

Acer

Pro

-Larger

-Better resolution

 

Cons

Freesync (nvidia user)

Possibly too large?

 

Obviously flip it for the ASUS monitor. I would love to hear from people who have experience especially with any 34/38inch ultra wide monitors (Think LG is the only other company offering one soo far?)

I own the asus, excellent monitor! G-sync is amazing. Personally bigger than this for a single monitor would getting too big imo, considering you are supposed to sit at it. Also 100Hz  

 

EDIT: Also less important but the asus looks better, bezel, stand etc.

See g-sync and 100hz isnt as important in games like dota which is making the asus a harder buy. However not seeing how large a 38 inch monitor is, is also making it difficult.

Ultrawide 1440p? I would say 34inch is the sweet spot... The Asus ROG swift is actually the monitor I plan on buying when I get a Volta card, I would have already bought one but I felt that Pascal cards (single card setup) aren't yet there for the best experience on such high resolution so I went cheap with a LG 29UM68-P (2560x1080p 29 inch) for now.

Uh... you think your single Titan X card couldn't run a 1440p UWHD display?

It can just fine, I'm just an ultra whore who's saving for a Volta Titan X to finally go ultrawide 1440p

Sat in front no not really the curve just allows you to see the whole screen with ease. Its a subtle curve and does not feel like i'm looking at a curved surface if thats what you mean. It just helps see the edges.

That's crazy overkill you are waiting for no reason. I'm using a 1070 and I can run games on ultra at 3440x1440 with 70+ FPS depending on the title. 100+ (locked) in older titles. e.g. ~75 avg in Andromeda. Also you really trust Nvidia enough to buy a Titan after the shit they pulled with Titan X(P) The best pascal ever we swear! -> 1080Ti same performance at half the price -> Titan Xp juuuuust kidding! here's the real pascal Titan that we could have launched a year ago, awh guess you better buy another! <- That right there is a double nut punch imo and im amazed people are considering buying volta Titans when they will likely do it again. Well they will do it again because consumers are dumb and hurt themselves...

so would you say it not really that curved ?
