A simple GPU update took me this far (part 2)

[jean_001]

So here's part 1.

 

In summary; I was unhappy with the way my new 1080ti behaved and felt that the old 3770k was to blame.

Thus, I brought together a new rig incl. a i7 8700k, 16 GB 3200hz Ram and a new board (aorus gaming 7) and renewed the chassis while I was at it. (It was awfully painful to choose but I ended up with a nice white Corsair 400c. I almost got a Thermaltake core p3 but really could not wrap my mind around how I was to deal with gathering dust.)

 

And I realized that I just cannot stop.

I don't know whether I'm going through a phase -where I want to fill an emotional gap- or not but I just cannot stop.

 

Now I feel that my current LG 29UM67 display is not sufficient. I found out that there's a great deal of performance gain during games when I turn on vsync.  Which obviously limits fps to the refresh rate of the monitor that is 60hz.

And all this time I'd been pushing an nvidia card towards a freesync monitor. (I guess it's a form of heresy in the pc gaming world)

 

I'm a big fan of Ultrawide (evidently) and currently eyeing out at this nice looking AOC AG352UCG, however it's only 100hz.

What should i do?

 

Ultrawide 2k (3440X1440) 100hz, or regular 2k (2560X1440) with 144hz.?

Should I wait for Ultrawide displays with higher than 100hz?

 

Or should i just go see a psychologist?

If you're spending money that you don't have, then maybe stop, but if you enjoy what you are getting no need for a psychologist.

Not really because you don't pay more for Freesync

 

I'd go with a 100Hz Ultrawide since it's still a very big improvement over 60, and 21:9 is just gorgeous

Once you go 21x9, going back will leave a hole in your heart.

Go for the Ultrawide.

Get the Ultrawide with 100hz.
