If you had to pick between the two, which would you choose and why? (For gaming)

I’m considering what to get for my next computer. I played on 1080p 60 Hz no G-Sync until I went for 3440 x 1440 60 Hz no G-Sync a few years ago. Haven’t had a gaming computer since then, so I’m wondering... how impressive is G-Sync and how impress is 120 Hz? Is 120 Hz more impressive than 4K?

Also, would screen size / hardware limitations change your opinion? Say, desktop vs laptop.

You'll need a serious vid card for 4K. I'd also recommend a larger screen size for 4K.

As for the Hz, the higher the better for things like first person shooters.


/e Using ther nav at Pcpartpicker...these are the 4K babies: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#m=3,8,139,13&r=384002160&sort=price&page=1&qq=1

These are the 4K babies with Gsync: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#m=3,8,139,13&r=384002160&sort=price&A=1


None of these monitors...are higher than 60Hz.

DELL 4K monitors... https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/monitors/ar/8141?~ck=bt&appliedRefinements=2586 <---- seem to be on sale atm.



/ee Then, there is always this godly thing...

also not all games can be played in native 4k. so consider the games you want to play.

also depends if you want to play competitive fast paced games, then the frame rate may matter more
