Hi Guys, there are three displays on sale on a good online vendor website.

Are these good displays for me? I need a new one, I like bigger monitors. I have a RX 6700XT so enough GPU power for 1440p and I could always downscale.

So here are the three on sale:

https://www.alternate.de/MSI/Optix-MAG322CQR-002-Gaming-Monitor/html/product/1623184

https://www.alternate.de/Acer/Nitro-XZ320QX-Gaming-Monitor/html/product/1714335

 

I currently like the acer one the most because it has 240Hz and 300 nits brightness, but it has no reviews on there.

Any advice appreciated!

Keep in mind the Acer one is "just" 1080p. While the others are 1440p. I guess you saw.

 

The Optix MAG322CQR seems better than the Optix G32CQ4DE by all accounts, so I'd choose that between the 1440p monitors. And the Optix MAG322CQR also has the same brightness as the Acer monitor, while also having a better representation of colors.

Personally I run 1440p on my main monitor and prefer that over my 1080p. However I have not tried refresh rates above 165 hz. For me, 165 hz seems plenty.

with a 6700XT I'd get the Optix MAG322CQR-002 because you definitely have the gpu power to run it at 1440p, Unless you really want 240HZ for like ultra competitive gaming idk. 165HZ refresh rate is pretty good too, and the Optix MAG322 or whatever also seems to have the same brightness as the acer one (I think, I can't read german but I assume both of them say 300 cd/m^2)

Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen R7 3700X @4.4Ghz, GPU: Gigabyte RX 5700 XT, RAM: 32 GB (2x 8GB Trident Z Royal + 2x 8GB TForce Vulkan Z) @3000Mhz, Motherboard: ASRock B550m Steel Legend, Storage: 1x WD Black 1Tb NVMe (boot) + 1x Samsung 860 QVO 1Tb SSD (storage), Case: Thermaltake Core V21, Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

I have a 6700xt and run a 1440p, 144Hz that could be overclocked to 170Hz. Frankly I don't feel the need to go even to 170Hz. Long term you're likely to buy a new GPU before a new monitor, and the 6700xt can handle 1440p already, so that would be my choice.
