They're slowing creeping towards 240hz, wonder how far away we are.

For some resolutions I would assume not very far away at all! 

 

When DisplayPort 1.3 is finally introduced as a standard on GPUs then we will start getting monitors and other displays with a DP 1.3 connection, and then we will start seeing higher and higher refresh rates. We already have the 200Hz of course with the Acer z35 (2560x1080), and Acer/Asus have been showing us they are willing to push the refresh rate even if it doesn't make that much of a difference (150Hz, 165Hz) so I assume the trend will continue c:

AND G-Sync (which might be dead soon)?!

Why dead and why soon?

Pascal and Artic Island GPU's will have Displayport 1.3 hopefully, otherwise no reason to upgrade from a 980Ti.

You'd need a fucking powerful computer to play that.

3x pg348q = 3 monitors * 3440*1440 pixels * 100 Hz * 8 bits/pixel = 3 * 3.963 gigabits/s = almost 12 gigabits/s

3x pg279q = 3 monitors * 2560*1440 pixels * 165 Hz * 8 bits/pixel = 3 * 4.867 gigabits/s = about 14.5 gigabits/s

 

 

to take that into perspective, a single 4k screen is about a little under 4 gigabits/s

 

And even 4 Titan X's can't do 3 4k monitors all that well.

 

 

Even so, if you are going to go through GPU's like I go through hamburgers and are willing to drop $3k+ on graphics cards every year, I'd get the 3x pg279q, if only because the other one won't fit on your fucking desk

 

 

pro (of either) looks fucking awesome

 

con (of either) is fucking expensive, and needs a literal supercomputer to power it.

 

I currently play at IPS 7680x1440 144hz with G-SYNC on all three and and it's not that bad.

on a single 980ti? what games at what settings are you playing at?

 

 

OT: taking a second look at the equations, I fucked them up. Fixed to what I think they should be. dunno though.

I won't be having them for long. I bought them dirt cheap because people are nitpicky about them and can't handle a few death pixels or some worse backlightbleeding then others.

 

Currently doing some Battlefield 4 at High settings and managing to get 80-90FPS. But games like Witcher 3 sadly run around ~40FPS. But then again there is The Crew which is locked at 60FPS and I have no problems playing that at 7680x1440

 

Having a 144hz screen doesn't mean you really need to play everything at 144FPS, some games are fine at 60FPS or lower.

Why dead and why soon?

Was just a thought, but with Intel supporting Adaptive-Sync and (hopefully) soon to make dedicated GPUs once nvidia's and AMD's patents run out, it may push nvidia to force Pascal to use 1.2a DP or higher on their cards, allowing people to opt out of buying G-sync (which I still maintain is better than adaptive-sync at this current moment) for the cheaper adaptive sync monitors that support 1.2a or higher DP.

 

I have absolutely no facts to back this up, though, and it was just an observation.

But 60/24 = 2.5  :o

 

And that's another reason 60 hz is bad :)

With a 24 fps movie, a 60 hz monitor will not be able to display it 100% smoothly. That is why some monitors can be set to run at 48 hz (a horrible idea in any other case).

it could happen but Nvidia's CUDA technology is still around even though AMD has adopted OpenCL and so has Intel with the integrated chips.

That is true, a lot of people have been hopping on the CUDA train.  Maybe the benefits of later additions to G-sync will outweigh the extra costs.  As I said, I have no evidence for this.

165 hz?

I know that it is a gaming monitor, but is refresh rates not intervals of 24 (fps of movies)?

120 hz is 5x24, and 144 hz is 6x24 (3x48 for HFR movies).

 

Also, I need that monitor!

well 30 hz, 60hx 120 hx 144hz nope not intervals of 24hz

Its a Championship not a Belt!
