Again, it's situational. If you don't plan on upgrading gpu for awhile, get amd because they get better overtime through driver updates, and also cheaper to purchase initially.

I guess if you only play one board game

I like this. Thank you

Are these good monitors? That's one thing I'm cautious with. I don't want to spend 200$ on a single monitor. Is 5ms really thay much different and noticeable compared to a 2ms? Also the 144hz vs 60hz?

/e if I want both monitors hooked up via dvi, how do I do that with Radeon 480? Would I need some type of splitter? Or is that not possible? I heard some competes get the 144hz only through dvi.

you cant use a splitter... then both monitors would be getting the same signal

alright. good to know, so since the Radeon 480 only has 1 dvi, with 2 hdmi, should i use the main for dvi and the second one, if i was streaming, for chat, websites, etc., for that stuff?

hdmi is fine.....

I'm not that great with the specs of computers and shit. So I'm not sure. Only reason I ask is because like I said in the previous post, I heard that some monitors only get the 144hz rate via dvi

"To output 1080p at 120Hz or 144Hz, you need a dual link DVI-D or DisplayPort cable and connect those to your monitor and computer. These standards include support for higher resolutions and refresh rates. HDMI 1.3 or higher can also be used to output 1080p content at 144Hz. If you need a 144Hz monitor then be sure"

2 vs 5 ms is almost not noticeable. In this price range I would actually pick an IPS version instead

IPS show much better coloring than 6bit TN panel you find in this price class. And you get better viewing angles.

But 60hz vs 144hz is is quite noticeable at least to me. It reduces stuttering and give overall an more smooth expirence. I see this every day because I havery 1x 144hz and 2x 60hz, I would never be able to go back 60hz for main monitor.

As for a splitter the term you are looking for is "adapter"
But you might as well use the two hdmi ports on the card instead of dvi.

Dvi-d, DP and HDMI 1.4+ all supports 144hz 1080p.
I use DP for my 144hz 1440p monitor.
