Exactly, you would see a range of 40's to 60+ with a single GTX 780 Ti at 1440p. For example, you'll get a bit above 40FPS on average with crysis 3 on highest, at 1440p.

It will be 300. I say 300 because MC, as of 1.7.9 last I checked, wont display FPS counters over 300.

So do you think it's worth it to get a 1440p monitor or instead get a nice 144hz 1080p monitor

Yeah but 1.8 is really buggy so he/she may not get great FPS trying to run 1.8 (atleast until the bugs have been worked out). I can say it will be over 60fps (which is all that matters), but yeah there are some differences.

Also, don't get a 144hz 1080p.

Get a 60hz 1080p.

You can't see more than 60hz (last I checked), so it would just be a waste.

Thats your call, I personally run a 50Hz 1080p monitor, see no real need to upgrade.
Either would suit you well, I would honestly take the cheaper one.

I run a asus 144hz 1080p monitor and TRUST me you can see a difference between it and my 60hz 1080p. Bf4 is a completely different game at 144hz/120+fps. It's amazing! So for people who say you can't see a difference past 60 have never used a 120hz+ monitor. Trust me it's awesome. That's said 1440p is pretty legit too so

I've played on a 120hz monitor and there is not enough of a difference to justify the price tag. It is slightly quicker. Also, FPS past 60 are pretty much just numbers. I'm no expert, but in my personal experience, anything about 1080p and 60hz is just costing more money for relatively no gain. Don't even get me started on 4k. Five years from now everyone will be running 4k's and I'll still be running 1920x1080 because honestly, how many pixels does someone need to watch something? It's all about sound quality... That is where it does matter.

So if you want to waste your money on monitors that are going to also need more expensive GPU's to run, thus driving the price way beyond the monitor itself, go ahead. However, if you are smart (opinion, so don't be offended), you will just ignore the hype and run 1080p with a decent card and hit 60fps for years to come. There will always be something new and flashy, but if its going to cost more money and isn't much of a difference, I don't see the point.

Depends, but you can really probably even get one of the new 900s that are coming out and run 1080p and be fine. I mean, if you have the money, go for it, but it is a waste.

Really? I've used a 1440p monitor and it's not that different (for me). I guess it just comes down to opinions at the end of the day.

You say anything past 60fps is just numbers but if I run the two systems I have side by side one with my old 60hz monitor and one with my current 144hz asus 27 inch it's a HUGE difference in game play ESPECIALLY if you play fps shooters online. I own both and didn't just "play on one once" and I can honestly say the 27 inch asus 144hz monitor I purchased was aside from my gpu's one of the most worth while purchases I have ever made for my PC. It was between a 1440p I was looking at or the 144hz and boy was the 144hz worth every penny of the $379.99 I spent on it. Amazing monitor!

Yes 720 is not too different from 1080 for me. The only difference for me is anything 480p and below. Of course if you blow it up on a 50 inch flat screen it looks different but on my 23 inch monitor they both look the same.

I suppose my decisions are more budget-oriented than others though, in all fairness. I will say there ARE differences, but they are not big enough for me to justify the price tag between the two, as well as I, personally, do not need amazing graphics or colors as I am not a graphics designer so I can live with what I already have. I mean if someone has the money to blow on 1440p monitors and 4k monitors, go ahead. However, if I had that kind of money, I would save it :p

It's all about the smoothness of the edges. That's the big difference between 720 and 1080 and 1440 and 1600 and 4k. The higher res you go the less you need things like anti aliasing and what not. You get smoother edges without as much filtering needed and more realistic imagery.

The price at which monitors are these days it doesn't break the bank to get a 1440p or 144hz monitor. Again it depends on the games you play also. For instance I play a ton of bf4 which the 144hz monitor proved more a value then a 1440p monitor would have. I also play WoW though so a 1440p would be more valuable then a 144hz monitor so it depends on what you do.

Ah. Well I suppose I can agree with that. The prices are just insane for smoothness of edges. I mean how realistic do things have to be? I play games and watch movies to escape reality, so I expect there to be some sort of barrier that shields virtual reality from actual reality. That is just me though. You guys can do whatever you want :p  I won't comment on resolutions from this day forth.

Also, it doesn't "break the bank", but it's not exactly easy for me to justify spending near 500 dollars for a 1440p monitor at 27 inches when I can spend almost half that for 1080p. However, I am a broke college student, so that probably ties into my decisions.

Well it isn't 20-20, that's for sure. However it isn't that bad. I will acknowledge that there are differences (for your sake and for my own), but the differences do justify the price tag for me. So there are differences between all resolutions but I would rather stick with something that works just fine and already kills my eyesight than something that costs more.

With 2 780ti's in bf4 I pull well over 120fps pretty much all the time with times pulling 150-160 and I have seen 180 depending on the map but I'm also using an old 2500k which is choking down my gpu's a bit. Would probably get a bit more if I had new CPU and mobo.

You will get atleast 60fps on 1080p with that card. Constantly over 120? I don't know, but definitely 60+, and that is all that matters.

With one yes on bf4 which I keep referring too because it's so demanding I was pulling 90+ fps on ultra at 1080p at pretty much all times. I use the evga classified cards which are also cherry picked gpu's (not that make a lot of difference unless you are overclocking) which I love to do. The 780ti in General is just a great card.

i5 4690k is cheaper and would be perfect for gaming. It only costs about 220 vs 340.

Honestly the only reason I got the 4790k over the i5 is just because.

Ah. Well the 780ti would probably be able to handle 1440p, but I would suggest 1080, unless you are planning on analyzing every single little pixel from 2-3 inches away from the screen, it probably won't matter and you'll save yourself atleast 300 dollars that can be put to use for something else (maybe two 1080p monitors? that'd be cool, or maybe a 512GB MX100 SSD?

According to specs, slightly more IOPS. I get 480 read and 420 write on my MX100. Honestly, I'd just get the MX100. It's newer and it costs 60 less and the performance difference between the two seems to be VERY minimal.

I've tried both, I would recommend the MX100. While the 840 EVO might beat it in some benchmarks, their performance is comparable. The real difference is price/GB. It's here where the MX100 really shines. The boot time is also something along the lines of 8-10 seconds. Depending on how clean you keep your startup list.

Again, the 4790K is overkill for minecraft, the GTX 780 Ti is overkill for minecraft. You won't have any problems running it.

As for the monitor, if you have the budget and are willing to spend on it, the 1440p monitor will be a better experience. There's roughly a 56% increase in pixel count over 1080p, which means a much crisper image. A 27"+ 1440p monitor looks MUCH better than a 27" 1080p monitor. The difference, however, is less pronounced on smaller monitors (20-24").

So it's up to you about the monitor resolution, but if you want a 27" or greater monitor, then go 1440p.
