Vega/1070 for 1080p?

[ChackoM]

I'm planning to play most AAA titles, but I'm kind of in love with this monitor : https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2bL7YJ/lenovo-li2364d-230-71hz-monitor-65c8kcc1us

 

However, I also really would like a Vega 56 or 1070 with it, but I'm wondering, is it overkill? Probably not going to upgrade it a couple of years, and I'm open to all suggestions

for 1080p???

get 1060 or RX480

 

or pony up for a 1440p panel

RX Vega is rumored to be better than a 1070 so it definitely can do 4k gaming 

[NTDaws]

Vega.

Apparenty, there's been a benchmark leak http://www.tweaktown.com/news/58635/amd-radeon-rx-vega-56-leaked-benchmarks-gtx-1070-killer/index.html, and given the results, I'd say vega, especially with the 1070's price up due to mining

some say it's the best value 1440p IPS display,

but you have to be wary that the stand is a little wobbly and there is no VESA mount

also  might need slight setting adjustments in OSD for color calibration - the factory default isn't always the best

 

Here's a random unboxing

Thanks! So, if I get this monitor, it would be perfect for Vega 56 right?

Awesome! Also, is it all right if it isn't freesync? The 1080p monitor was, and I'm wondering whether it makes a big difference.

 

Also --> I think I just fell in love with this monitor: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Fz4NnQ/lenovo-l24q-238-2560x1440-60hz-monitor-65d2gcc3us

pcpartpicker lists it as non-IPS display,

Lenovo have on their product page same model with a different part number which is IPS:

http://www3.lenovo.com/au/en/accessories/monitors/home/L24q-10-23-8'-QHD-MonitorHDMI%2BDP/p/65CFGAC3AU

 

Just find out if the one you will be receiving after purchase is IPS, if it's not I'd rather take the Acer one

Got it. Also last question, sorry for asking so much: Which monitor do you think I should choose: the Lenovo one or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ZBZ2FT/aoc-monitor-g2460pf
