4k vs rog swift

[Lazy_Auto]

With 980 coming out what will be better to get a 4k monitor at 60hz or the swift at 144hz with gsync. I am currently playing bf4, dark souls 2 and other fps games. I am currently using 2 25 inch 1080p monitors at 60hz.

4k imho, if its an ips panel.

(but it requires more power so one 980 will not cut it while one 980 plays 1440p very nicely.)

[Enderman]

You will need at least 2 or 3 980s for 4k gaming.

I would stick to 144hz gsync 1440p

I'm still not super impressed with the benchmarks I've seen of 4K. At present, we still look at least one GPU generation away from it being viable.

In the same price range, I doubt it's an IPS display. Which again, IPS is only really super-important if either you don't sit directly in front of your monitor, or if you're using it for professional work. I'll take the reduced motion blur of 144hz, and the lower input lag/reduced screen tearing that G-sync offers any day of the week. Especially if you're going to be using it for

For now I'm only getting one monitor 4k or rog swift but will upgrade to sli in the future and I will like to have 3 of the same monitors in the future as well.

I do mostly programming

we are talking about the Swift here, which costs around twice as much as Asus' and Samsungs 28" 4k panels.

Also, Acer is offering a 28" 4k g-sync too soon for around 600 bucks. Its not ips but g-sync soo...

No doubt the 4k will look better but I believe the 1440p will give a much better gaming experience. 4k still isn't ready for mass market yet. ROG Swift will have way less latency, will be easier to run (keep those fps up), it has gsnyc so you won't have screen tearing issues and you won't have the scaling issues that 4k has with windows.

Yikes it's that expensive? I thought they were around the same price. Fuck Asus shit me as a brand

It's only 200 more and the windows scaling will be fix with the new windows

$200 is a lot of money, particularly when you consider those monitors, like ROG motherboards, basically come with features one could enable and essentially cheat online. The scaling issue is more of a problem with programs and software, not Windows

Is the 144hz worth it, never tried it or should i get more pixels 

[EpicAdom]

ROG Swift

I've never tried it either to be honest. As I understand it, FPS is the game type which gets the biggest benefit. More pixels, more problems right now, we're still a long way from that being viable. Neither is exactly viable multi-monitor though. For productivity sure, but you could make the argument of using cheaper monitors. You can't drive surround 1440p at a framerate which justifies 144hz, and 4k surround... ha, maybe in 10 years

Maybe i'll get lucky and win one of the awesome mod24 pcs

Id take the swift unless you are working with 4k files; the 980 will struggle hitting 50-60fps on 4k.
