dual 3440x1440 or replace?

[Bl00dgod]

 

hi,

currently this is my setup a 1080p 60hz TN samsung on the left as 2nd display for monitoring ( starting with rainmeter stuff ) and skype, teamspeak etc

and on the right is my 3440x1440x 60hz IPS AOC

 

since i got this beauty i'm curious about more than 60hz IPS

always hearing fancy things about those nice acer and asus displays with ips and >100hz

 

would you recommend them?

i'd like to keep my sidedisplay and swap the 60hz ips for a better one                OR   dual 3440x1440 then

 

current setup

i7 4790k 4,6ghz

16gb ddr 3 1867

evga 980ti sc+ acx 2.0+  ( waiting to get oc ) or replaced by a 1080ti with more vram, i already maxed the 6GB VRAM with some AAA titles and it seemed like i need more

I also have interested in that market as I am planning on a GPU upgrade but from what I have read it seems like a lot of these top tier omnitors have severe quality issue. Amazon reviews picture a lot of cases of poor quality control. Damaged panels, Dust inside the LCD, flickering, dead pxiels, scan lines, heavy backlight bleed (mostly with IPS). I read this accross Acer and Asus monitors and I asked a similar question on the forum. This segment really seems to have a problem.

Performance wise I doubt you will be able to make use of 3440x1440p 100Hz monitors with ONE 980 Ti let alone their horendous prices (1k and up).

yeah, i m worried abouth those asus and acers ips 34" too because i see so many lightbleed and other problems in the comments

lucky i dont see any bleed on mine

>1grand is hard, hoping for a good deal on ebay or somewhere, dont care about scratches if there is no bleed, dead pixel etc

waiting for a 1080ti or go dual 980ti when the prices go down,

the price went down like 50bucks for mine in the last 8months in germany... 50bucks is like nothing

why would you want your side display to have more than 60fps. i mean you arent gaming on it are you?

1 main and 1 sidedisplay is fine, but i was thinking about it if i'd get another 34" 1440p then i could use multiple screens while gaming

never used more than 1 display to game, but i guess its nice with a bigger field of view etc and 2 34" are almost surround

no gpu can drive that properly. also for surround gaming you need 3 displays otherwise you have a bezel in the middle which destroys the experience and your HUD. and the 34" 21:9 are a little bit too wide.

the most i would do is one 21:9 in the middle and 2 1440p 16:9 on the side. i dont know if this works with nvidia but amd crimson can do this.

maybe get a 60hz 27" 1440p ips. it should align quite good with the 21:9 in terms of height. and if you want you can add a 2nd one for gaming.

then i'll better stay with 1 21:9

but the question is... is it worth to upgrade to a >1grand IPS 3440x1440, seperate from the fact that i'll need 980ti SLI to run it with >100fps easily

for multimonitor gaming it would be kind of cool. especially with multimonitor projection coming. but its really a personal thing. personally i wouldnt go for more than one monitor again because i find it hard to concentrate when your able to have netflix or youtube somewhere all the time. you would probably need 1080 sli however

depending on the game the performance is enough, i run BF4 with almost stable 120fps that should be ok for 100hz

but trying to run something like project cards with maxed ... uhm *cough* didnt get me that many fps

i'll try to get a good X34 and then test how it goes, maybe they release the data of the 1080ti in a few months with 10jiggabyte HMB2
