Hey guys, I'm currently shopping for a new monitor. My old one is starting to fail.
I was looking for those new g-sync monitors but jewvidia's price premiun on them is too great and I realized I don't really care that much about g-sync afterall.
The benq xl2730z is on sale right now and I was wondering if you guys had any experience with it.
General monitor thread too.
do you have the horse power for 144p 144 fps gaming with out g-sync ? you better have a 1080 or two
because what will happen is the frame rate will jump all over the place with a weak system. like from 70 to 120 the back down to 70. you may end up locking the screen down to 60 to make the game play more stable. but at that point you are just wasting your money on the speed that you will not use.
1440p*
Go be a money wasting PLEB somewhere else.
i bought an Acer Predator XB241H Bmipr 24" the built in speackers are fucking trash but that's about it. it overcocks to 180 hz but comes out of the box at 144Hz and uses G-Sync
2 off m8
Really though, if you have a screen less than 20 inches anything above 4k really wont beneift you this much, in fact, if you plan on gaming it would be a detriment to performance if you want games to run at native res, at least wait a few years when 4k ready hardware has reached considerable market penetration
Here's the smug you ordered
i wasn't stupid enough to buy a 1440p monitor where most of the game benchmarks fucking tank when they go past 1080p the engines just can't handle it.
native 4k gaming is still a fucking pipe dream most games do support it and the games that do you need two 1080s to pull it off higher than 30 fps
don't support it*
Not if you play well made games.
My PC isn't exactly cutting edge and I can play DMC4 at a consistent 60fps at native 1440p. Anything that's older and optimized looks fantastic, and in general I enjoy the extra screen real estate.
If you're playing unoptimized garbage of course you're going to have a bad time.
