Need help choosing a new monitor
i read somewhere that higher resolution is actually an advantage when playing LoL because then you can zoom out more, thus giving you better viewing area.
just read some reviews on this monitor, and it has actually gotten several complaints on "dead pixels". Dont know i should be alarmed by that.
also what is the point of getting Freesync if it only works with AMD (?) and at 700 USD in my country its a little over my budget.
Is it worth getting 144hz? (its the difference between 60 and 144 that big, and will you notice it)
I personally haven't tried anything above 60hz so i have absolutely no idea if it is any major difference.
but i think my GPU can handle it. i tried (with my old monitor ) turning V-Sync of so i could see just how many FPS i got in different games, and even on max settings, i often got way over 200 fps, so i dont think the GPU performance will be any problem to that. (i know that theres a difference with resolution, thats why i tried it with dual full HD displays and still got over 200 fps on most of my "most played" games.
I didn't read reviews on the one I posted, at school so most stuff is blocked. Also, the monitor I just purchased, the Asus ROG Swift had a lot of bad reviews, like dead pixels, bad screen tearing and other stuff, I said oh well and still got it, but then again I paid an extra $100 to get a 2 year warranty.
1. Yes it is worth getting 144hz I Love it, I can see the difference CLEARLY.
2. There is a major FPS difference from 1080p and 1440p for me, even when I gamed on 5760x1080 (3 monitors), I had more FPS on the triple setup than I do with my single 1440p gaming. I can let you know what FPS I get on some FPS games I have, what FPS games will you be playing?
Also I listed the Freesync one because that was like the only one on newegg that I saw quickly in your budget and you said Gsync wasn't NEEDED. If you can spare the extra cash I would get what I have, even though you are spending more money for 144hz 1440p and the Nvidia 3d and of course, Gsync. I personally like the Gsync too, haven't tried the 3D yet though. I tell you what, if is HUGE! It's about 1 1/3 taller than my other monitors, I didn't expect it to be that big. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236405&cm_re=Asus_ROG_swift-_-24-236-405-_-Product
First off, where did you hear about the zooming out bit for LOL. I haven't seen that. Also, I don't know if anyone else faced this issue, but I never get above 60 fps on League.
Onward, as my own experiences so I am not just talking out of my ass. I have a 970 G1, an Asus VG248QE (144hz at 1080p) and a Dell P2416D (1440p @ 60hz and ips).
I would say 144hz is a HUGE plus in fps games, so much more exciting and in control. You WILL notice a difference in how you see gaming (switching back and forth between 144fps and 60fps).
Triple Monitor Gaming, I always hated (thought it was cool when I first had the ability). It feels warped, and things feel out of place. It is more to show you can do it. Don't go triple monitor unless for productivity.
In terms of fps though and what I get on each monitor. It all really depends on what settings you like to play on. I like ultra typically. On a game like BF4. I am barely pulling 120-144 fps on med settings. I don't play BF4 on my 1440p monitor, because I feel like I am giving up on low response time and fps. 1440p will likely not help you game, it is an awe factor. I use my 1440p monitor for single player games - Assassin's Creed and Racing games really. Games I don't take seriously. And I use it for movies and shows (due to the ips display).
I maybe, on those games, get 80fps, but more typically I get 50-60 on games like Assassin's Creed Unity. If you would like I can get a basic fps on 1440p on BF4 multiplayer.
Also, in regard to your last bit. I would not recommend 21:9 due to how most things are formatted for 16:9. Plus, 21:9 is getting pretty expensive, though it sounds like money isn't am object. If that is the case, get something that is 144hz IPS and 2k. But only if you intend on going SLI in the future.
Conclusion. 1440p (16:9) for casual (ips if you can manage), 144hz for serious.
Edit: Didn't realize there were 2 pages, but for the extra input my points still stand.
On LOL I tried triple Monitor Gaming for a time and found it just doesn't help much. You can't see any Lower or any higher than you could before. There just isn't a whole lot to see horizontally.
Glad to hear his input was helpful though
