Hello, looking for someone to make up my mind for me since I've been doing research now for nearly a week and have gotten nowhere...
At first I was sold on getting a monitor with a fast refresh rate, most likely the ASUS VG248QE. However, I then realized I won't be playing any online FPS and started to reconsider.
I am a heavy gamer but mostly RPG's and a few strategy games. I will play some FPS campaigns but not too worried about refresh rate for those. I will also be using this monitor a lot for internet browsing as well as word processing which is why I have now started to lean towards an IPS panel.
Yes I can push above 60FPS in most games, here is my build if it helps:
4670k 3.4ghz
gtx 760
gigabyte ud3h
corsair pro 8gb 1866
i have a cpu cooler installed so can overclock too but havent yet
so basically my question is.... does the higher refresh rate (mostly for RPG/RTS games) outweigh the colour/clarity of an IPS monitor both during playing these games, and for other computer tasks?
thanks!
