Recommended monitors?

[cludertick16]

I have a gtx 1080 ti currently and quite honestly a terrible monitor. I want to upgrade to a new one but at the same time have several of them (one for game and two for other things as extra space for discord, obs, etc) but i dont know what to get. So basically i plan on getting two monitors right now but i dont know what to get and a third monitor when i get my second SLI. What kind of monitors should i get without making my GPU want to commit sudoko. Would i be able to get 3440x1440 or 2560x1440? which refresh rate? respond delay? etc? i dont mind saving money for an extended period of time i would just like to get most bang for my buck.

Go for the ultra wide

Since you have THE flagship GPU, you should be able to run just about any resolution and refresh rate you can get.

 

Preferably, you should be looking at 1440p+ and high refresh rates.

start with giving us an idea on what games you want to play and how serious you are about how they run and what they look like.

Games i typically play are games like Rainbow six siege, player unknowns battlegrounds, soon to be battlefront 2, and destiny 2. I am a graphics enthusiest due to me getting the 180ti sli and the amount of ram i have (32-ddr4 3866 upgrading to full 64 gb).

I personally couldn't justify the extra cost of ultrawide monitors as of nowso I picked a widescreen 16:9 2560x1440p monitor and it's huge for me already. even at 27" [haha]. but the benefit of having 144hz is amazing. I like my monitor, it was a good discount too which made the purchase even more viable.

 

That being said, since you like these first person type of games, an ultrawide would be better for your case scenario. maybe a 2nd monitor at 4k for productivity would be in your works/favor? Just a suggestion.. im kinda tired, will respond to your reply tomorrow if any

Im not sure about 4k monitors cause they are REALLY expensive but if the benefits are that great i can go for 2 4k monitors not (one for gaming the other for a second) and then save for a ultrawide for gaming and have both 4k on either side? im not sure where the line should be drawn where it gets TOO absurd and to begin with idk where to find ultrawide/4k because the only ones that are on pcpart picker arent priced/dont have sales site.

Be careful with 4K monitors and input lag for FPS gaming - it's a 'thing'.

I think the 27 inch 1440p 144hz category for FPS gaming is hard to beat, all things considered.

So is that what you would recommend?

For gaming yes - best combination of value, size, resolution and high FPS IMO. Thats if high FPS counts in the games you want to play.

Otherwise theres bigger and better options but it gets expensive and effects performance in games re the FPS you can drive.

If you are going for a multi monitor setup then make sure their resolutions are the same, otherwise when you scroll your mouse over to the next screen, it will be really off and you be spending a couple of seconds figuring out where it bounced off to

So what im planning on doing RN is getting 1x 3440x1440 curved and 2x 2560x1440 monitors to go on either side. would that be a good idea or should i look into something else?

I've never used multiple monitors for gaming so can't really advise there, i'm a single screen kinda guy.

well the game would just be on the one widescreen monitor and the others would be used for desktop space and other applications.
