Need advice on which of these monitors I should buy

Leek Soup

Hi, looking for advice on which of these monitors I should buy. I am currently using the Samsung, and I will be buying either of the Viewsonic ones, based on which you think I should go for. It will be used for gaming. I don't play any competitive games, I play Flight Simulator 2020, BeamNG, GTA V, Minecraft, Skyrim and sometimes Teardown. My graphics card is an RTX 2060 Super, but I intend on upgrading to a 3060 Ti once the market cools down, or when I get the EVGA email (probably not gonna happen lol).

So, should I stay with the Samsung? If not, which of the other two should I buy? Is the more expensive one worth it, for the IPS panel and FreeSync Premium? I do enjoy the extra wide aspect ratio of the Samsung, but I wonder would I prefer the higher refresh rate of the Viewsonics? I have never experienced anything above 75Hz on a monitor. (The Samsung is 60Hz)

Thanks.

The one you  linked is 1080p, while the one I posted is 1440p, that is the reason for the price difference. Also, things are generally more expensive here in Europe.

I have a 34" ultrawide, similar to the Samsung but mine is LG. Honestly Ultrawides are the way to go. My opinion of course. I like Ultrawides so much I have two. The second one I have also LG is 1080p 25" ran in portrait mode. My 34" is 1440p and IPS, really nice. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
