hey guys
so i have a 1080p monitor with GTX 770 SLI 4GB and i only use it for games
and i was wondering does it worth it to buy a 1440p monitor instead ? because if i buy a 1440p monitor i'm sure i have to lower the MSAA on games so OVERALL will i notice a big change ? will the graphic increase MUCH or just a little ?(based on the money i'm spending )
BTW both monitors are 60HZ
Wow, 770 SLI 4GB is total overkill for 1080p. With those cards, why do you think you'll have to lower the MSAA with 1440p? Even if you do have to lower or even disable AA on a few games, the noticeably higher pixel density in 1440p means you won't need to use high AA settings.
For an apples to apples comparison, a 27" 1080p has 82 ppi (pixels per inch), and a 27" 1440p has 109 ppi- a whopping 33% increase. Trust me- 1440p looks better at EVERYTHING. Also, 1440p uses IPS panels, which look far better than TN- better color, more contrast, deeper black levels.
Input lag, you're wondering? 120hz vs 60hz? Both are non-issues with the Korean models (Qnix, Catleap, Etc.) They use minimum electronics under the hood and are therefore overclockable, with little or no lag. Yes, you can OC Korean 1440p models to a higher refresh rate. Mine made it to 120hz, but the overall pic got noticeably darker, so I'm sitting comfortably at 96hz and it looks amazing. And I upgraded from a pretty good monitor: Dell U2412m IPS. My Qnix looks much better. Plus, who wouldn't want to game on a 27"?? $350 shipped on Amazon, sold the Dell on Ebay for $200. For me, it was worth every penny.
BTW, I'm running GTX 670 Gigabyte OC in SLI, only the 2GB version. Your cards are better than mine, so I see no reason to not go for it.
