The Right Display (1440p | 1080p)

[miong]

Hi LTT Community,

 

i'm having a dilemma over which monitor should i buy. i'm currently looking at the following for dual setup

 

Infini M7 2560x1440 144hz TN + Dell U2715H or ASUS ROG PG248Q + Dell U2417H

 

My Rig Specification below:

 

Ryzen 1500x

Crucial DDR4 8GB

ASrock AB350

Galax 1060 EXOC White

Seasonic 620W

SSD 120GB

 

so for this, i'm looking for your recommendation on which should i buy. i can turn down setting to at least on High Settings to cope up with 1440p screen if necessary to achieve the 60fps.

 

this is the game i play:

1. Dota 2

2. CSGO

3. PUBG

4. ROTB

5. Doom

6. Far Cry Series

7. future triple A titles.

 

Thanks,

The 1060 may not be able to keep up with running most AAA titles at high settings at 144Hz/2K resolution.

why not 1080p 144hz at High?

I don't see why not, at least you can get close to 144Hz. The Dell one is 2k right? why would you pair that with the 1080p one?

yea thinking about it with ASUS ROG monitors. i'm actually looking at 144hz only in CSGO.

is 1060 can't handle 2560x1440p even at high settings? i don't necessarily need the 144hz for modern triple A titles.

And you might want a 1070 for 1440p 144hz

Dell U2715H is 2560x1440p 60hz IPS. i did the dual setup to cater the TN and IPS Panel. also they are paired correctly. as 2x 2560x1440p or 2x 1920x1080p.

1060 would be medium-high. Look this is a gpu with 980 performance. The 980 ti was the ultra 1440 60fps card. So medium to high depending on title because the 980ti was ultra 1440 60fps in 2015.

I only ever use Ultra/Max settings (Because GTX1080) but most games do not reach the 165Hz of my monitor, not even ones like CSGO or Overwatch that are designed for high refresh rates.

Is that at 1080p or higher? 

 

Also 1440p is not '2k', it's 1440p

1440p

Should easily be hitting 165+ fps then with a 1080. I only run at 1080p but even my little 480 can push 150-200+fps with maxed out settings. (CS:GO) 

 

On the actual subject though, I'd personally get a 1440p 60hz for AAA titles and watching movies/videos on, and then a 1080p 144+hz for the games where you need that huge refresh rate.

once my computer is back together i'll have to test CSGO because i haven't played in a while. Overwatch at max settings is definitely under 100FPS though. Some games that aren't optimized well get 60FPS (like Watch_Dogs 2 at max settings)

this would not impose any problem with different resolution per say 1440p 60hz IPS and 1080p 144hz TN?

i'm a bit worried with this TN color reproduction as i watch a lot of videos (youtube, varieties and Music Shows)

 

also do you think i'll get the 60fps 1440p with 1060 on high settings.

hopefully you can test it out as i'm testing the waters. fairly new with displays and using TFT LCD from HP.

Depends on the game, with Esports probably but not with more intense games.
