Posted January 8, 2016 I feel like 4k and TN should never be an option. I thought we'd moved on to brighter skies, and greener pastures. Still.... 4K & 144hz, well done Asus! If they are pushing this though, we may be closer to 4K + 144Hz + IPS or similar.

Posted January 8, 2016 and AMD is going to have 18 Billion, so what? it's not the number of transistors that matters it's the way you use the transistors that matters, but having a great number of transistors can help Very true. Intel is living proof of this having only 1.4 billion transistors on the 4790K yet wiping the floor with whatever Carrizo's flagship quad core will be at a whopping 3.1 billion transistors.

Posted January 8, 2016 Author But still, Hardwarecanucks is the only source that says it supports 4K @ 144 Hz. I would love to see some official announcement from the Asus side. Yeah it would be nice. Hardwarecanucks should be pretty good source but it still seems kinda shady. We'll know for sure in few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 8, 2016 You guys do know that DisplayPort 1.3 is being released this year right? All high end monitors will come with it. DisplayPort 1.3 has a maximum of 3840x2160 at 120Hz with 24-bit color. 4K 144Hz could only be achieved by multiple cables, or requiring you to overclock your DP 1.3 connection (possible), using YCbCr format with subsampling (unlikely), or lower than 24-bit color depth (not happening). Or possibly some other form of compression like DSC, but according to Anandtech DSC was cut from the final DP 1.3 specification.

Posted January 8, 2016 My Titan Xs are waiting... Battlefield 4 can be easily pushed over 100fps in 4K with two Titan Xs. Yes but you can count the number of people with 2 Titan Xs on 2 hands.

Posted January 8, 2016 One guy said his dual Titan-Xs are waiting and another mentioned Pascal. That's cool but this is a FreeSync monitor, not G-Sync. Which simply mean the VRR tech wouldn't be active, not that the monitor could not be used. FreeSync/gSync is really for when you really don't have enough horsepower.

Posted January 9, 2016 It won't be an ips panel so I doubt it. ASUS sells both Freesync and G-sync monitors, if they price this one too low, they're outcompeting themselves. If this is even close to $1000 it'll become too popular since it really would make no sense to buy literally anything else for gaming.
