monitor 1440p vs 1080p

[FL0sH]

 

If I want to game in 1080p but I have 1440p monitor will there be any problems???

 

[WereCat]

if you set games to 1080p on a 1440p monitor, they will look really blurry because the scaling is not perfect.

[Glenwing]

It will look a bit blurrier than it would on a native 1080p screen.

Sry for this stupid question, but 1080p is 1920x1080 right???\

Thank you!

No problem because any decent monitor just shows an image it has recieved from a video card. If it supports 2k (1440p), it will support 1080p. Will it seem blurrier depends on size of a monitor IMHO.

Could probably go with a 4K monitor tbh unless you really need high refresh rates. The scaling from 1080P to 2160P is supposedly very good, and you can reap the benefits of the higher resolution in general use, productivity, and in many older/less demanding titles.

 

This is assuming you don't already have a 1440P display. If you already have it, then no harm in giving it a try. You could also try setting a custom resolution that will scale cleanly as well, though 720P will probably be lower than you want to go.

I would like to get 144hz with gtx 1060 6gb on

1080p

Besides dropping down to a 1080P panel, there might not be much option but to live with the scaling downsides of 1440P then if you use the higher resolution for other stuff. 4K 144 hz isn't really a thing within normal human budget (not that anything on the market can actually drive such a resolution and frame rate in modern games).

I am planning to buy a monitor for palit dual 1060 6gb and 144hz. So I guess the best would be to buy 1080p monitor.

1080P anime and blu ray video content aside, I would probably consider imperfect scaling to be a reasonable tradeoff for the higher resolution in general use. However, for my own usages where a lot of video content is frequently watched, I'd probably choose a 4K panel myself, even though my GPU is far from able to drive modern 4K gaming very well. There are more than enough pixels to make upscaling look good on most everything I need, eliminating most of the downsides of going 4K for me, price aside

 

Out of curiosity, what games are you planning on playing? Typically, I usually see mid-range GPUs paired with lower refresh displays, except where games like CS:GO are involved.

I will play CSGO probably on 1024x768 on high settings. Prob battlefield V(5) aswell.

1280 x 720 divides into 2560 x 1440P perfectly, so you could run that setting on a 1440P panel and maintain a sharp image. Though a 1060 should be quite capable of running CS:GO at full 1440P without dropping below 144 frames anyway, barring Valve did something horrible to the game engine in the past few years.

 

Battlefield will be a much tougher nut to crack, however. As it is yet to be released, how demanding of a game it is remains to be seen. With a 1440P panel, you would probably have to make the choice between running 1080P with higher settings, or cut back on the settings to maintain 60+ fps while running 1440P. Not much of a way to get around this problem without throwing more GPU power at it.

i use lower res in cs cause i have played alot with it and i really dont want to change.In cs i will use 144hz

however battlefield 5 i will probably just play with setting that give me 50-80 fps. so 144hz i guess will be useless in bf5

Understandable. The great thing about PC gaming is (within reason) you can play how you want.

 

I tried a 1440P 144 hz display in Fry's last year, and had to pull myself away pretty quickly, lest I find myself suddenly $400 poorer.

I will just pick up a 1080p 144hz monitor.

It will be my first monitor cause I have always used a laptop. Are BenQ monitors good for competitive gaming or u would recommend another brand.

[Zachamp]

BenQ's "Black eQualizer"  is what makes benQ the best at csgo,means nobody can hide from you in dark corners or other places,you see the enemies easy but keep in mind that in order to get the best out of Benq zowie you must know how to tweak it like a pro not only for general use but for each game in particulr but it has prifiles you can save and switch betwen.

I had a benq zowie 24 : XL2430 and it took me some time to find the best settings but for csgo it was the best, i never played not only so goood but also it was easy,then again that was my first 144hz screen so I have nothing in that class to compare it with.

My i5 8400 and gtx1070 8gb FE  found  that monitor not to match,in the sense that i was at 160-200+fps in games like csgo overwatch fortnite and then in something like pubg i had about 80ish ish but i went dawn to 55ish in a lot of cases so It felt like i get to much in some games since anything over 144fps wouldnt do anything for me and then to little in games like pubg so I kinda realised that either I make a esports setup and get myself a higher hz screen and then just play heavy games at 60fps well but atleast i get the benefit in the weaker games or i up to a 1080 or 1080ti and go 27'' 1440p 144hz and I get the best out of my setup that way.

Other option would have been to replace the gtx 1070 with a 1060 one since i would get 144fps at 1080p no problem and with the money diference just get a better mouse or a streaming cam or even a new gaming chair or more ram etc but i allreday had the gtx1070  so that wasnt an option anymore.

In my opinion if you have gtx 1060 I would go 1080p 144hz to get the best out of it in most popular competitive games since i think you can get smooth play by getting settings to the point where you get 120-140fps and then no more tearing and stuff since you play with vsync off and that would be the best value and getting the best out of your setup as in not paying extra for something that doesnt improve your game play .

You can watch a recording I made to show some friends how the 144hz benQ does and i havent played CSGO in 7 years this was the first time on the monitor I had just bought it that day and was trying it out.

Just skip to the cs part around 18:00 i tell you the screen was playing for me i felt like everybody was so slow in reaction but i was on 1ms 144hz esports monitor....If they had 60hz 6ms response then obciously i had like a huge huge advantage.
