G'day all, I've been looking around for a new monitor as my last one (an Asus VG248QE) got completely obliterated in a bit of a freak accident, I looked around and set my eyes on the ROG Swift for the fact that it's a much better monitor than previous plus the added benefit of G-Sync but when a friend went into the local electronics place to look into ordering one in for me they instantly said "No, get this 4k one, it's far superior" and sent them back here with big and confusing explanations as to why it's better and a few specs that are also a little made up (like 200hz refresh rate when it clearly is capped at 60hz maximum and impossible to get 200hz with 4K regardless), after surfing the net for ages to see which would be the better deal, a $600 4K or the $1000 ROG Swift, I'm probably more confused than when I started, the main issue being whether I can get to 60fps on any games at all and possibly keep it there on a 4K or not, I've found I'm fairly sensitive to framerate and I've managed to be able to notice the difference between hitting 144 and 130-ish frames, and I need to know if the limitation to 60 or less is worth it over a monitor that is quite clearly a cut above the previous one and with less chance of "failure" than the 4K?
Current specs:
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.5GHz
32gb RAM
2x GTX 770 which I assume is 2gb each but I'm not sure if DXdiag combines both or not as it says 4gb.
Hopefully that's enough, sorry if it's a bit of a TLDR type thing but I really just need a straight answer, I hate speculation and theoreticals because they will not help me get anything actually done.
Regards, Psycho.
