I also will buy 2x EVGA GTX680 Supercloked with SLI.

This is the best monitor for gaming?, i will notice the difference?.

Note: I do not like 3D and I will never use in my life.

I just got it and love it! I got 3 for surround I also don't care for 3d. I have 3 samsung s27a350h 60hz monitors and its night and day different. I have tri sli evga gtx 680 FTW+ 4GB cards and they work perfect. So with 2 cards and 1 no it or you will be good on FPS.

I had a go at a FPS game on a 120Hz monitor they were showing off in my retailer, the difference is really night and day. 

In general it's a smoother experience.

so, this Asus is better than samsung S23A700D?

i thought that Samsung has better quality and colors.

If you don't already have a decent 1080p monitor, I would say yes. Otherwise no. 2 GTX 680s in SLI will be ridiculously overkill for a single 1080p display, too, you'd be much better off with just one if money is of any concern. My thoughts are that over the next two to three generations of GPUs, 1600p support on ultra settings for most modern games will be common place with even a mid range card.. If you were to go the dual 680 route, I would just recommend a 1600p monitor, albeit at about double the price.

I recently purchased this monitor and I highly recommend it! But as soon as you get it do a  Windows Calibration and lower the gamma  A LOT. also I lowered blue to around 93%.

 

I have a question though, if anyone has this monitor with an AMD card, is it possible to run 144 hz while keeping your GPU at its idle clock speeds? Every time I go from 120hz to 144hz, my gpu goes from 300mhz to 1100 mhz while on the desktop idle.

I just got this monitor too, and it is excellent!  There is a super in-depth article about it here:  http://pcmonitors.info/reviews/asus-vg248qe

 

The reviewers also provide a custom ICC profile to help deal with the gamma/contrast issues at high refresh rates.  Worked for me.

 

I run it at 144Hz all the time, and it has eliminated any tearing I was having.
