Like the description says I want to know what the best gaming monitor setup is out there to get the most out of my system. I also have a 120GB SSD for the OS, 8GB RAM, a TX750 PSU, MSI Z77A-GD55 motherboard and the CPU is overclocked to 4.2Ghz. I scored over a 11,000 on 3DMark. Currently I am holding strong at 1920x1200 on a 26" Samsung SyncMaster. I am considering staying with the 16:10 ratio and 2560x1600 resolution for the next monitor but I have also heard the higher hz monitors are best for gaming. If I don't get over 120Hz will the screen have tearing and if so if I enable V-Sync would it give me better than 60hz performance? So I guess it boils down to, is my rig (Ivy Bridge i7 and MSI GTX 780) best suited to run a higher resolution or a higher hertz and what would benefit the most? What is a better experience the higher res or the higher refresh rate? Thanks for all the input.
