4k 144Hz - Acer and ASUS G-Sync HDR Displays over $3k

[Denned]

Expected price. Multiple retailers listed them months ago (including Komplett) for that price. I was hoping it was a placeholder, but sadly not

I'd be happy to pay a decent amount of money for a monitor with those specs, but that's a bit steep.

Maybe years from now, these things will be 5x cheaper

$3k for a monitor = get fucked unless it's literally the best 27" monitor in absolutely every spec and metric.

Unless they work out how to make them mine crypo, then it's all fucked.

Yes this guy mined bitcoin with a pencil and a piece of paper 

 

You cant mine on a monitor but you can mine on a smart TV so pretty close

I currently own a PG279Q and it works well with my MSI 1080 Gaming X at 1440p.

 

Should I expect similar frame rates from this monitor at 1440p with my current card?

Waiting for Freesync. Not touching nvidia products anymore after gpp.

FPS? Lol nope. 10-40% less depending on the game at 4k

[Inkz]

Great, now we have the first. I was really waiting for these. I won't buy them because of the price, but now the road is paved for more competition to lower it. Once they reach sub-500 I might pick one up.

Honestly though, what can run 4K at 144Hz?

And that's why the Titan V can't run SLI.

The Titan V can't run SLI because it wasn't necessarily designed as a gaming card.

What if it’s set to 1440p? Would the HDR slow down the XPS? I wasn’t asking about 4K

possibly the 1180 in SLI?

If G-Sync needed a redesign will we be seeing Free sync versions?

[Kamjam21xx]

Will dual 1080tis not do that on like any game?

Older games, sure.  But no modern AAA game will do 4K @ 144 fps with settings cranked to Ultra.  Even 1440p there's many heavier games where you simply can't get over 100 fps, let alone 4K which is about 2x the load.

Doubt it.  AMD cards are a VERY low % of the gaming marketplace right now and I don't feel like the type of buyer who buys an AMD card would drop huge $ on a monitor.

If it's set to 1440p, it's gonna have the same FPS as your current monitor. Your GPU is the limiting factor in how many frames are generated. Your Monitor is the limiting factor in how many of those frames can be displayed, and since theyre both 144hz+, you'll see the same FPS on both monitors at the same resolutions. So Unless you want to go to 4k, there's no reason to get this monitor.

[Maticks]

Guess you'll need a titan v to drive this, but money is no issue so why not spend 3k on a monitor as well.

[YoloSwag]

Isn't the purpose of G-Sync is that if you reach like a certain minimum number of frames it would still work at the desired refresh rate?

 

For example, for 60Hz/60FPS gaming, you'd need only a minimum of around 45FPS for it to work as if it were running at 60/60?

[JediFragger]

Yup, Gsync will certainly be earning its money with one of these!! Still crazy CRAZY money though!!!

I’d be happy with 1440p HDR for games like Gears and GTA and I’d set it to 4K for Skyrim (should work with my card). 

 

Though I’m just speculating. Don’t think I’m crazy enough to get this monitor in the next few months.

I dont speculate most people getting this monitor any time soon, not until the price drops a tad.

I’d probably get it if it were in the $1200-$1500 range. But such a price range in the US seems very unlikely at this point.

 

I’m guessing it’ll be in the $2,000 - $2,500 range when it’s officially released.
