What 4k monitor should I buy

[darkclashmine]

Hey, I'm looking to buy a 4k monitor for my setup but I have 2 questions:

1. Is a evga gtx 1070 ftw good enough for 4k?

2. What 4k monitor should I buy? I would like a relatively cheap monitor aroud 300€ with DisplayPort and HDMI. I'm not sure if this is possible.

Thank you for any answers or feedback you give me

(PS it's my first post on this forum so I hope I'm doing this right)

When you want to buy a good 4k monitor you need to look in the 450€ range. The best "cheaper" 4k monitor is the LG 27ud68-w. I own a few of these and the more expensive 27ud88-w in my offices and they are amazing.

If you want to play games at 4k 1070 probably won't cut it. I would go for a 1080 at least and if you can a 1080ti. (you probably should have posted this in displays as a future reference)

Might as well ask this here...
If I were to buy a 4k monitor but played games in 1080p/1440p, would I get the same FPS count as I would if I played on a 1080p/1440p monitor?

Yes. Monitor res doesn't affect FPS. However, it might not look as good as it would on a 1440p/1080p monitor, because it's not native resolution.

I'm already playing in 900p on my 1200p monitor and barely notice any difference, so I probably won't mind it as much.

Considering a 4k monitor is about the same price as a 1440p monitor these days(since nobody seems to be making a "basic" 1440p 60hz TN, it's all "gaming" 144hz IPS and what not), it didn't make much sense for me to buy a 1440p monitor as I don't play as much games nowadays.

It depends on how good the monitor is and what you're down/upscaling to. 1080p will look fine on a 4k monitor, but 1440p will probably look like ass (and not good ass. Mama June ass).

 

Nah man it's all good haha
