Looking to buy a new monitor

x69NinjaZx · Sep 4, 2014

Hello, I've been wanting to upgrade to a 2 monitor setup for some time and I found these two monitors.

Asus ROG Swift PG278Q - 1440p 144hz and GSync
Asus PB287Q - 4k 60hz

I currently have a Asus 22" monitor. If I was to buy one of the monitors above would which one do you think would be better? These are some of the games I play Titanfall, BF3 and 4, Skyrim and TERA. Would I need to upgrade anything or SLI to even play on medium to high while using the monitor the its full potential? -- 4k close to 60hz or 1440p close to 144hz.

CPU - i7 3770
GPU - 780ti
Ram - 2x8GB

If you're wanting to game then the only choice for you should be the ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MSOND8C. 4K requires too much horsepower and on a 27" screen isn't a big difference from 1440p. The Swift also is G-sync ready and has a high refresh rate with 3D capability. There really is no reason to consider the PB287Q unless you are doing a lot of photo or video editing work.

Both have their merits in my opinion, 27" is where 4k gets pretty useful I think since the pixels are otherwise larger. A single 780ti won't get 60fps on max settings at 4K and it won't get much, if at all, over 60fps at 1440p, so either way to get the benefits you need to SLI, and if you don't you may as well save your money and get a 60hz 1440p as you won't see a difference.
