Go to solution Solved by en124,

My friend has 1080p 21:9 screen, he has difficulties seeing the pixels, it will probably not be a problem. It would have been 27" i fit was 16:9. If i look at the screen i definitively notice the pixels. I have a 27" 1440p monitor, and that's way more than enough pixels. I think its up to personal preference. Go maybe see some displays in a store to see what is best for you.

I have the following pc build:

·         Intel Core i7-4790k Haswell 4GHz S1150 CPU-Retai

·         Asus Maximus VII Ranger Z97 S1150/ DDR3/SATARa/ATX Motherboard

·         16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Vengeance Pro Red DDR3 PC2400 Memory

·         Asus Radeon R9 390X AMD Graphics Card 8GB (NOT the strix version but the one with 2 fans)

 

At 27", I am afraid that at 1080p, i would be able to see the pixels however afraid that will have lower than 60fps at medium settings on newer titles at 1440p.

I am currently between these two monitors:

 

1080p €239 https://www.scanmalta.com/newstore/gaming/peripherals/monitors/27-asus-vc279h-ips-full-hd-led-gaming-monitor.html

or

1440p €349 https://www.scanmalta.com/newstore/gaming/peripherals/monitors/27-iiyama-g-master-silver-crow-gb2783qsu-b1-full.html

 

Which one would you recommend at a 100 price difference and if 1440p, will I get avg 60fps with menioned GPU?

 

Thank you for your help

I have a very similiar setup to you and I run a 1440p and max out my 60 FPS monitor on almost everything at max settings. This includes brand new things.

16gb ram

GTX 1080 hybrid

You can go 1440p, but you have to bear with lower graphics settings.

 

Why not 24" 1080p? Or 1080p ultra wide (21:9, 2560x1080 resolution)

Thank you all for your replies. Will go to the store and research more benchmarks from said GPU

For the future planning side of things i'd say go for the 1440 because if you get a 1080 screen now you'd almost definitely want to upgrade your screen in the next few years, but if you got the 1440 you would be able to hold out longer.

I have a Asus MG248q 144hz 1ms 1080p monitor that I primarily game on but I just bought my GF a Benq 27" IPS 1440p monitor and needless to say my next monitor will be a high refresh rate 1440p display the desktop space is so nice and the 27" is perfect imo.

However in the case that i cannot manage 60fps at 1440pm does it really look that bad when lowering resolution to 1080 on a 1440p monitor?
