Hey I need some help. My secondary monitor is kinda broken, it's old. So I'm thinking about replaceing my secondary monitor with my primary which is an old samsung 1080p TN monitor. So I'm thinking about buying myself a new primary monitor and I'm wondering should I get a 1440p 60Hz or should I get a 1080p 144Hz? I mostly play games like League of Legends and Minecraft. But I also play alot of Witcher 3 and GTA 5. So should a pick up one of those cheap 1440p 60Hz monitors or should I stick with a 1080p 144Hz?

 

My PC specs:

 

i7 4790k

GTX 970

16GB DDR3

IMO I think 60Hz is fine, I've never had one but around 120Hz you don't really notice the difference, I would go for 1440p.

Yea Im a bit confussed since some people have told me to get a 1440p monitor and some told me to get a 1080p 144Hz. One of my friends told me that higher the resulotion= less smoothness when compared to a monitor with a lower resulotion. What im trying to say is that 60 fps on a 1440p screen is not as smooth as 60Hz on a 1440p screen. Im also concerned whether my GTX 970 really can handle 1440p at 60Hz with good eyecandy. Sure I will be replacing my 970 at some point but I will wait for the next generations of graphics cards.

In my personal opinion, once you go over 100Hz you cannot go back to 60Hz, it simply feels like lag.
And if you like to play games, I would go with 1080p and 144Hz.
