Secondary Monitor and Performance

[waffleman198]

My primary setup right now is a ryzen 1800x and gtx 1080 with an acer x31 monitor. What will be the difference in performance when I connect a 1920x1800 vs. 2560x1440 monitor. The 1080p is an Asus VG248QE and the 1440p monitor is a Dell S2716DG. Will their refresh rate also affect performance? I usually have a chrome tab/Java open on the secondary monitor. My friend is offering the dell monitor for $80 more than the asus so I was wondering if I should take his offer.

The difference in performance is entirely dependent on the application you're using. In terms of the actual pixels you're asking your card to push, however, 1440p is 1.77 times as demanding as 1080p. With that 1080, you shouldn't have much issue hitting 144hz, unless you're asking certain games for ultra.

 

As a monitor recommendation I say go for the Dell. The extra real estate and sharpness is worth it.

Alrighty thanks!
