Hi, I would like to know which graphic is better in game.

3840 x 2160 (4K) 60hz (60fps) with v-sync on -> (display 4K UHD 28" Samsung)
2560 x 1440 (2.5K) 144hz (144fps) with g-sync on -> (display ASUS PG278Q 144hz)

Note: I have Titan X Pascal (2-SLI).

I'M saying in Graphics, images and textures in game.

Thanks!

This mostly depends on what you want. 144hz will get you a much smoother experience and I've seen people struggle to go back to 60 after using it, whilst 4K will make games look best in terms of graphics.
 
If it were a larger display and you weren't twitch gaming, I'd say 4k, but on a 28 or so the difference between the two in graphic fidelity will be close, yes, the 4k will be noticeably sharper, but I think you'd get more out of the 144Hz at that size. I play on a 50in 4k, and it's great, I tried to go back to 1080 and had trouble, but that was 60Hz to 60Hz. The 144Hz is going to be the more enjoyable experience here as it will look much better than 1080 and still give you awesome framerates.

1080p 144Hz. And use the remainder to buy a good mouse, a mechanical keyboard or a good headphone. At 1080p minimum fps for your GPU build would never fall below 150 in Ultra Settings, AA on, which might fall below 144 at 1440p.
