I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I'm also looking for a new monitor.
Specs:
i7 950
gtx 960
12gb memory
Looking for 24in+ monitor. I'm not opposed to a 144hz monitor if it fits in the budget. I am more concerned about the resolution, preferably 2560x1440.
Budget: $200-250.
Thank you and I hope my hijack is okay.
hijack is fine, it's a related discussion
960 is fine for 1440/60
just won't MAX everything
so you won't get the most out of it but if your next upgrade is a gpu then you'll better utilize it
similar deal with 1080/144 but it's the refresh rate that'll struggle
w'o gsync you might experience some tearing cause 960 won't put out 144hz on 1080 unless you turn down detail settings, even then I'm not sure
basically you're looking at a monitor you may wanna keep for a bit
then upgrade gpu to better utilize said monitor if you desire
instead of short-changing yourself on monitor now only to get a better one later that'll require more gpu power anyways
if you're more concerned with resolution then I'd get 27" 1440/60 now
and could snag somethin like used 970 for around 125 bones or so
somethin like that
of course, idk what you're using it for either so
