144hz or 1440p

[SafeStrafe]

hi right now i have a 1080P@75hz monitor im looking for a second display and I have a 1060 3gb and a i7 6700 and 8gb ram should i get a 1080p 144hz monitor or a 1440p 60hz monitor ? i play all br games rainbox six siege csgo overwatch so basically all fps. I get over 100fps in most games i play but not over 144

[Fasauceome]

You could get a 120hz monitor

[partymarty]

I think I would buy the 1080p 144hz display

I like my 1440p/165hz monitor but it's a pain to drive.  Given your use-case I'd probably get 1080p/165hz

He has a 1060 3g, I'm somewhat doubting he will reach 144fps at 1080p. Why go even higher to 165 Hz?

 

His question is: What shall I buy? 1080p144 or 1440p60. With his cpu being a 6700, 8gb of ram and a gtx 1060 3g.

 

He never asked something about 165hz...

Yeah, what 144hz 1080p monitor would u reccomend

[partymarty]

I can't recommend you any screens, sorry. I'm using 1440p165. 

I know Acer Predator screens are top of the line, but I think you should start with deciding on your budget + size.

I prefer my gaming monitor to be 24", have played for a while on a 27" display, but I found it to big for fast phased games.

Sorry, total typo.  Meant 1080/144 or 1080/120

I like this guy for the price, curved and 144hz with freesync if you ever change to AMD

An extra $110 gets g-sync qnd 180hz (not worth it IMO)

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4cbkcf/acer-monitor-xb241h

 

Basically double the price but it's a great, 1440p + gsync + 165hz, this thing is way over your gpu's capabilities though.  If you go this route, treat it as a long term investment that your future GPU would need to mature into

the first one looks good my budget it around 250-300 and do u need a amd card for it?

 

[DiabeticSeizures]

get the 1440p screen. if you get something over 60hz, and you play on it, then go back, it will feel really weird

Honestly I can't handle the input lag of the 165hz 1440p screens when playing overwatch. Nice for casual games but it feels like i am just slightly delayed.

Yeah it's a solid choice. Very good for competitive gaming. The better gray to gray is super nice.

I have a 240hz for gaming and the 4k 144hz for if I want those nice visuals. If rather have 2 monitors that are good at what they do rather than 1 that is a jack of all trades master of none.

Probably paid 3-4x as much as I paid for my 1440p/165 as well
