should i get off resolution?

[grayblizzard]

so i have a gtx 970 and really want to upgrade my monitor from a 1680 x 1050

 

i was going to just get a 1920 x 1080p monitor but should i get a 2560 x 1080p monitor if i want higher resolution just cant afford 1440p??

I'd say just go with 1920x1080

I would go with 1080P instead of going 2560x1080 as not all games will support that resolution.

I have a 1920x1080 monitor, but sometimes I make it 1920x810 to make it 21:9 for shooters like TF2.. It totally works.

Black friday is coming up and many tech sites are selling off a ton of monitors. Ive seen some good 1080p ASUS monitors go for $90<, so a couple or even 3 1080p monitor setup might be your way to go and you'll only spend maybe $250 and have 1: more real estate and 2: a equal to (2 1080's) or even greater resolution (3 1080's) than 1440p for a fraction of the cost.

i could just run whatever games that wont run at that resolution at 1920 x 1080 though, right?

 

also these monitors are not any higher priced than regular 1080p monitors

1920x1080 is nice. Also take into consideration try not to go over 24" screen size for 1080p for best pixel density.

true but i dont need more, have room for more and really cant run 3 1080p monitors for games

Hell, just get a normal 1920 x 1080 monitor and use your old one as a second monitor for web browsing and stuff. That's what I'd do.

He's right though, 2560 x 1080 isn't really too widely supporeted
