Yes it would work fine however how well it games on it will depend on which games your planning on playing.

games like, doom, day of infamy, battlefield 4. etc.

I would not recommend a 1440p monitor with a 1060. You should look for a 1080p monitor with a 144hz refresh rate. It will play much better and may look better due to the higher refresh rate.

I would go with this:

High or Ultra settings? Very unlikely it will be able to withstand 60FPS all the time. If you lower them a bit, it might.

The 1060 is more like of a 1080p GPU tho...

If you like first person shooters, then definitely get a 144hz monitor.

that's a nice monitor. I heard that the gtx 1060 6gb is the 2k king? I heard 2k was its sweet spot.

packersfan036 · Sep 21, 2017

can you find one with the same specs as the acer but cheaper?

feelinfroggy777 · Sep 21, 2017

packersfan036 :

You heard wrong. The 1060 is very good for 1080p. But for 2k, you need a 1070 to play with high settings.

1. 2560 x 1440 resolution at 60Hz - 1440p is kinda lost on a small 23-24" screen.

2. The best IPS panels are better than the best TN panels .... but unless you are spending $700, you are not getting one of those. IPS panels in the $200 range are horrendous for gaming. That advertised 4ms response time is undoubtedly bogus.

3. Which 1060 ? The 1060 GB is 6% faster than the 3 GB model but it has absolutely nothing to do w/ VRAM. The cause is that the 3 GB model has 10% less shaders.

4. Game performance (3 GB and 6GB)

There is no monitor at 1080p or 1440p that I can recommend for $200 ... best i can do is $250-ish for the Asus VG248QE

As long as you have a good CPU and don't mind turning down the settings to med-high then yes the 1060 6gb would be fine at 1440P/60hz.

so do you think ill be ok gaming on a 2k monitor with my 1060?

At 1440p the GPU is stressed much more than the CPU. Unlike at 1080p, the CPU becomes the bottleneck as it has trouble keeping the GPU fed. This is why there is a smaller gap in performance between CPUs when moving to higher resolution.
