GTX 770 and a 1360 x 768 monitor

Newgamer1377 · Apr 16, 2014

Hi there,

I recently build a machine with a GTX 770 and have a 4 year old samsung 1360 x 768 monitor. I saw an LG monitor which I think is not that expensive ( 190 euro ) and is 1080 p. LG 27" LED-Monitor Flatron 27EA33-V.

Is it worth investing in this monitor in terms of games and movies which are displayed at usually max 720 p ?

A 1080p monitor provides sharper visuals, so yes, upgrade to a new 1080p monitor.

1080p is so much better than 720p as ive come to notice that the new lcds are thinner and more energy efficient so definetly get it

Yes, yes, yes, and more yes.

Yes, games and movies are not at 720p anymore. it is usually 1080p and up.

you wouldnt need a gtx 770 if you have a 768p monitor

i have a 650ti boost and it does me wellat 1080p but i can only run most games medium or high with a few of the fxaa and post processing effects down

babachicken :

I was unaware your monitor could be a bottleneck until I started investigating it a couple of days ago.

Newgamer1377 :

it isnt really a bottleneck...

you just have too much power for what your resolution needs.

at your resolution you could use a gtx 660 and max out modern games.

you could at most games things like planetside 2 and the new star citizen will struggle a little as they are also heavily cpu based

yes. and the reason it being cpu intensive is due to the mass multiplayer aspect.

if it were just a 6v6 game or something, it would be less CPU dependent (irrevelent but the more you know)

what is your CPU?

I've got the intel i5-4670k. I was considering the i7 but that was 80 euros more expensive so I decided to save money there in order to get other items which I might need. Full specs

Corsair CS750M
D3 8 GB 1600-9 BX Sport XT
Fractal D Define R4 pearl
Intel Core i5-4670k
MSI 2GB D5 X GTX770 Twin Frozr
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
Samsung 840 evo 250 GB SSD
2 TB seagate

Can anyone recommend a good monitor ? I am not rich so can't spend huge amounts but want to spend money on a monitor that will not bottleneck my experience with this pc ?

Newgamer1377 :

nice build you got there....

you will not lose any performance in CPU intensive games i would say. the 4670k is a cream of the crop CPU so i would say you are fine. But still get a 1080p monitor.

atleast 60hz refresh rate
<5ms response

Thanks for all your help

I found a monitor 5 ms, 56-75 hz, 1920 x 1080 for 190 euro. An lg. This is a good one ?

If you think it's a good one I will order it and it will be here tomorrow.
