Dual Monitor 1440P IPS Dilemma

[Blarsko]

Hello Everyone I have a dilemma atm,

I would like to get myself a dual monitor setup with 1440p monitors. I use my monitors most of the time for productivity and gaming.

Currently I have 1 1080p 60hz monitor and I would say I use my monitor 40% for gaming, 30% productivity and 30% browsing the web and watching videos.

Games I play are Runescape 2007 and PUBG mainly.

 

I have been looking around and found 2 options for myself.

The first option be are the ASUS PG279Q & Dell Ultrasharp U2518D combination and the second option 2x Dell Ultrasharp U2518D.

 

Because I live in the Netherlands the ASUS PG279Q costs 800 euro and the Dell Ultrasharp U2518D costs 320 euro.

I was wondering if the extra 480 euro is worth the upgrade for 1 monitor to 144hz and GSync, because I see a lot that you need to be lucky with the PG279Q to get a good one with not a lot of back bleed.

 

Greetings,

Blarsko

Is your setup able to run a game at 1440p and reach 144fps?? If yes then the upgrade is worth the extra 500euros. If not and your PC can barely reach 100fps +/- then it is not worth it and you should go with the Dell U2518D.

PS: I am at the moment using a Dell P2717H and to be honest the quality of Dell monitors is above everything I've seen around.

I'm not sure if the 970 could handle games at 1440p and reach over 100fps tho'.

Anybody else an opinion?

Even if you can't run games at 144 FPS, G-Sync will still make sub refresh rate performance bearable if you don't like screen tearing.

 

But in your case, I'd probably get two Dell monitors instead of just the one.
