Hey guys!
I'm looking to upgrade my monitor. I currently run 1080p on a 23.5" and I keep it about 2 feet from my face. I want to increase my viewing area I want to upgrade to a 27 or 29" monitor. I'm wondering a few things...
1.) Is a 27 or 29" monitor running at 1080p going to look horrible compared to one running 2560x1440?
2.) Is the response time important? I notice some of these are 2ms - 12ms. That's a pretty substantial difference.
3.) Can I run 2560x1440 without dropping frame rate A LOT? I realize I probably will not notice much difference from 60 - 30 fps.
Please note that I do not play CRAZY games on here - I play mostly Dota2, and sometimes WoW and Diablo 3. However, I do run all of these on ultra settings with no issues besides WoW and Diablo 3 background FPS I only keep at about 20 (It goes up to like a bazillion)
System Specs -
Windows 7 64
Intel i7 930 @ 2.8Ghz (8 CPUs)
6GB RAM
Direct X 11
ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series with 4GB total memory (I'm not sure how to check, but I have a feeling that only 1-2GB tops are dedicated considering I bought it 3 years ago and it didn't cost a million dollars)
I do NOT overclock anything, but am willing to if necessary
THANK YOU so much in advance for your help and support!
