Actually that's a 1440p monitor, but you can go for that one too if you want, it is still a very good monitor. 4k costs a lot to stabilize, if you want like a higher level graphics than 1080p and also a fast reponse and refresh time at the same time, the Swift is a great choice with G sync installed to eliminate screen tearing, so if you want a great gaming experience, the Swift is the way to go! :D

Sorry some reason I posted an answer last night and apparently it didn't. Anyway as he said the Swift is 1440p, I actually had the same debate with myself Swift vs 4k, I went with the swift since running games @ 4k maxed is still a ways away even with the 900 series cards and maintaining 60 FPS plus... G-Sync is awesome, I didnt really even notice it at first, sure everything looked a little smoother, but didn't seem like a huge jump. After a few weeks of using it i hooked my PC to my TV for some couch gaming, it lasted about 10 mins till I was back on the monitor, the tearing was so bad on the TV, my suggestion is if you have the money take the ASUS Swift.
