Hello,
I am currently choosing a new monitor as my previous 1080p one broke after many years; my goal is a solid 60 fps on some of the latest triple A titles on high-ultra settings. I've settled on g-sync and I want to make the move to 1440p as it's a more future proof resolution, but I am afraid that my gtx 970 just won't cut it.
My original plan was to buy a 2k monitor when I upgrade my rig to the 1070 or 1080 in the future, but the fact that I have to buy a monitor right now puts me in an awkward position: I don't want to game on 1440p if it means having to crank down the settings or getting fps drops, but buying a 1080p monitor in mid 2016 also feels bad.
If you were me, would you buy a 1080 monitor or opt for 1440? Is it viable to buy a 1440p monitor and simply scale down demanding games to 1080p until I upgrade my GPU?
Thanks.
