Which do you prefer?

Hello,

 

I just wanted to ask your opinions - I've been PC gaming for roughly 3 years now and have always played on my 1080p 40 Inch TV. I am hoping to change this and pick up a smaller G-Sync monitor. Problem is I can't decide between the two below. I love to push my hardware to get every ounce of visual quality out of them! I mainly play MMO's & RPG's ,however, I do occasionally play Overwatch, Star Wars Battlefront, Battlefield - Very casually. 

 

I'm not really sure which monitor would best suit me, I hear a lot about how awesome gaming with high refresh rates is, but I don't play many shooters so is this really applicable to me? On the other hand the monitor is still a visual upgrade from the 1080p TV I currently use. However...4K... I know my hardware can't run all games at 4K, but I would like to think it's capable of holding a steady 60fps past 1440p.

 

Also, how does a G-Sync monitor feel when the framerate drops below 60? I find it very noticeable on my TV.

 

The main specs of my PC - I7 6700K, GTX 980 Ti Hybrid SLI, 16GB DDR4 RAM at 3000Mhz & Asus Hero VIII - Nothing overclocked although the GPU's & CPU do run higher than the base clock due to being water cooled.

Which do you guys think? If you own either of them please share your opinion - It's most welcome!

 

Kind regards,

i would go for the 1440p monitor
because you would be able to run higher video quality settings on this 1440p

vs running lower video quality settings on the 4k monitor

You wont notice the difference with higher refresh rates as much as you would notice more pixels. 4k is awesome, go for it.
