Monitor + GPU

[RyomaSJibenG]

Lazada is one of the biggest online shop here in malaysia and they're going to have sales on 11.11.

 

i'm thinking of getting these:

a 1080p monitor by asus

for graphic card however, i'm a bit conflicted. I need suggestion on which is better, getting a Vega 56 just to take advantage of the FreeSync from the monitor or just go for GTX 1070Ti(which performs better albeit a bit pricier). which is better, the price for both are almost the same so as long as they're not far from that then its ok

 

Vega 56:

GTX 1070Ti

Both of those are 1440p cards so they'll be a bit restricted in 1080p Not saying you can't get a 1080p monitor, you'll be able to play whatever you want at whatever settings you want, you'll just be limiting the cards a bit.

If you're set on getting one of these GPUs, I'd look for a monitor with a higher refresh rate than 75hz

well you're not wrong, i'm aiming to play strictly 1080p, my current gtx960 isn't gonna last long now as it only have 2GB of VRAM. i can't even go mid settings for monster hunter.

not really set on them though if you can find a better one, then that's cool

 

not sure about the monitor refresh rate though, what do you recommend? 120Hz?

they're both good GPUs, they'll just be able to put out at lot more than 75 fps on 1080p. It's also a good time to buy GPUs, since the prices have come down. If you can find a good price on a 1080p monitor with 120hz, that would be a good option. Otherwise, you might want to look into 1440p.

i did some digging around,  there's not much 1440p and too expensive to boot. there's not many 120Hz and 144Hz are too expensive....i think i'll stay with the monitor....

 

for GPU's though, which one would be better. FreeSync from Vega56 or more power from GTX1070Ti?

Freesync will work with either gpu, you'll just lose some of the features with nvidia. If you're sticking with 1080p and 75hz, I'd just go with a 1070 or comparable

Should be good. Im from a different country so I'm unfamiliar with the website & currency. As long as they're a reputable website, it'll be cool. I don't think MSI's armor cards are the best performing model, but if it's the best price, go for it

A GTX 1060 6gb should be sufficient or a rx 580/590 8gb(if you can wait)

hmm while i know there are significant bump from 960 to 1060, is it really worth the jump though? i mean in the end they're still x60 series imo
