1080p or 1440p?

[DannyRyu]

Okay sorry I'm asking lots of questions recently just so much I'm considering.

soo

lets start with my rig right now.

Z97

I3-4170

Corsair H-60

GTX 960

16gb of ram.

TR-600P ( This is the Decent Thermal Take PSU, the older model that is the TR-600, is known to be absolute shit but they fixed it with the TR-600P, Still might change it)

So I was planning on overclocking so I got the Z series mobo.

now I was planning on either going 1080p 144hz or 1440p 60hz.

if I got 1440p I'm going to upgrade my CPU and GPU + PSU. which will cost a significant amount of money.

If I go 1080p 144hz I'm gonna spend significantly less.

I have a 1080p TV (native res is like 1366*768) the response time is about 20 ms or slightly less)

would a good 1080p 144hz Monitor be good or a 1440p @ 60hz monitor be better, I'm fairly close to my screen.

would it even make sense to go from 1080p TV to 1080P 144hz??

would 1440p be much clearer?

I notice my screen on my TV isn't as sharp as I would like it the pixels seem much more blurry and bigger compared to my laptop which seems extremely clean and sharp.

my upgrade for 1440p would be i5-4690k or i5-4460 + RX 480 + RM600X

1440p is much better when it comes to productivity, work, not that much for gaming. Its a bit clearer but only difference i stop in games is that HUD is smaller, the game itself isnt that much prettier

If you mainly play fps games go with 1080p 144 Hz. If you do more productivity and don't play highly competitive fps games then go with 1440p @ 60 Hz and maybe also IPS.

If your TV's native resolution is 1366*768, then that IS the resolution. You may have the display settings turned to 1920*1080p, but the tv itself is still showing 1366*768 pixels. That would be why it seems blurry to you, because you are forcing it into a resolution it isnt meant to display.

 

I would go with 1080p 144hz

For 1440p you need a significantly more powerful GPU, a 960 is a meh card even for 1080p nowadays.

well an RX 480 should be able to handle it quite well.

so overall a 1080p monitor could be an upgrade because this monitor is only upscaling to 1080p and the native isn't 1080p?

I would go BenQ xl2411Z. Excellent monitor that gives just as good of a gaming experience as much more expensive ones. Its 144hz and 1080P.

Pretty much what Matias said. Though to add there is a middle ground, personally I love my monitor, qnix qx2710, It is a 1440p and it is OC able, very OC able. I got mine to max out at 100hz but I toned it down to 90hz because my gpu does struggle with some games at 1440p.
