Posted August 9, 2017 Why 144hz my 770 cant max games out you would have to lower the settings but why go with something that you really dont need Im mostly on discord now and you can find me on my profile My Build: Xeon 2630L V, RX 560 2gb, 8gb ddr4 1866, EVGA 450BV My Laptop #1: i3-5020U, 8gb of DDR3, Intel HD 5500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 9, 2017 Definitely not three because is free sync and you will be using g-sync, you might want upgrade GPU to Quote "(1) High Frame Rates (2) Ultra Graphics Settings (3) Cheap>>>>Choose only two" Chevaishr https://myanimelist.net/profile/AnalCavity PCPartPicker URL https://pcpartpicker.com/b/bsJ8TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 9, 2017 Every monitor is 1080p, 144 Hz, and has good reviews. AMD FreeSync is useless in your case. I would go for the Acer GN246HL 3D monitor, it might be fun to play around with 3D, and it's cheapest because of some reason EDIT: Although it doesn't have shitty monitor speakers, if you are into that kind of thing Long live Stalin, he loves you; sing these words, or you know what he’ll do!

Posted August 9, 2017 i would get a new GPU. 760 is not pushing many games at 144fps to take advantage of the refresh rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 9, 2017 Author Thank you all for the replies! Eventually I will upgrade my GPU, and I understand I wont make the most of 144hz with mu current GPU. But nontheless I still want to have a good monitor for when I upgrade my GPU. Based on Noisebomb44's comment I could go for his suggestion?
