144hz vs 1440p

Hi guys,

 

I will be building a PC soon (after my exams). After building it I will still need to get some displays. I can either choose between a 1080p 144hz or a 1440p 60hz monitor. They cost roughly the same. I do play competetive games like CSGO (not high skill though, MGE), but also triple A games. I was wondering whether you guys think I should take the pixels or the refresh rate?

 

Thanks!

Higher refresh rate gives you better gaming experience. I choose 1080p 144Hz.

Make sure your GPU can handle it.

Go with the 1440, as they say once you go 144 you never go back.

you could probably find a monitor that has higher than 60 hz on the 1440p side, for example i got a 21:9 1080p that came stock at 60 hz but if i enable freesync it goes up to 75, and i then oced it to 80hz,

hello!

is it me you're looking for?

ᴾC SᴾeCS ᴰoWᴺ ᴮEᴸoW

Spoiler

Desktop: X99-PC

CPU: i7 5820k

Mobo: X99 Deluxe

Cooler: Dark Rock Pro 3

RAM: 32GB DDR4
GPU: GTX 1080

Storage: 1TB 850 Evo, 1TB HDD, bunch of external hard drives
PSU: EVGA G2 750w

Peripherals: Logitech G502, Ducky One 711

Audio: Xonar U7, O2 amplifier (RIP), HD6XX

Monitors: 4k 24" Dell monitor, 1080p 24" Asus monitor

 

Laptop:

-Overkill Dell XPS

Fully maxed out early 2017 Dell XPS 15, GTX 1050 4GB, 7700HQ, 1TB nvme SSD, 32GB RAM, 4k display. 97Whr battery :x 
Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.
