if you want to buy a 1440 monitor, then yes

else youre just going to have to scale it down, which defeats the purpose

What does displayport have over DVI (I'm seriously asking, don't know much about either besides they both digital)

So if a 1440 monitor is out of the question, and I already have a 1080 IPS, the only real upgrade would be an ultrawide. How is the support for these in games? Will I still be able to run games at high settings with my current setup?

dvi doesnt have sound


why buy a new 1080 monitor when you already have one and 1440 and 4 k are the new tech


how about get a new gpu

Dvi is more than capable of carrying sound, Just most devices don't support it.




Bandwidth. D-Port supports way higher data rates than DVI does.


I would just get a new GPU & Keep your monitor for now.

i stand corrected


always thought it didnt, guess due to the reason you gave

So if I always use either external speakers or headset, there's really no advantage to d-port at 1080? And then if I wanted to upgrade my gfx card, what would be good in the ~2-300 dollar range?

Also, bit off topic, but can anyone explain in relative detail, how different games benefit from certain hardware components? IE league of legends is much more ram/gpu based, whereas minecraft is much more CPU/Hard drive based is it not? Where does it draw this line (running out of space on my SSD, need to move some shit to HDD).

Only reason to use dport @ 1080 is for 144hz

I remember using a 2 pin jumper cable on one of my gtx 260s from motherboard so i could use dvi to hdmi cable to tv

Whatever you get make sure you can use displayport later

neither of those games are intensive
