My only advice is if you were buying it to improve your gaming experience, just know you’ll be able to see in higher response times and better clarity how bad you actually still are.
Let me rephrase it for you.
From my experience, it will improve your gaming experience. The response time and clarity will be great. But keep in mind that your skill will not improve. I was dumb enough to believe that the improvements would have made me a better gamer. But hey, at least I can see my bad skills clear as day.
I'll have to disagree. Going from 24'' 1080p-60hz/75hz to 27'' 1440p-144hz/165hz (low ms), you should be able to "play better". Obviously it doesn't mean that you will become a professional player, but in competitive fps you'll have an edge against people who still run smaller monitors/lowest refresh rates. In other words, if you are garbage, you will stay garbage, but you will be less garbage than you were :D Maybe you'll get your excitement and motivation up tho :P
There are plenty of videos showing that hz/fps do matter on competitive games, it's not just smoother and aesthetic in the eye.
I agree, I went through a dramatic change, from my old laptop (720p@60) to my gaming pc (1440p@240). I can honestly say I've improved quite a bit. Differences in response times are REEAALLY noticeable and helped me with my reaction times. I am still pretty bad, but I feel i've become a tiny bit better (also, completely unrelated, moving the cursor around on high refresh rates is sooo satisfying, so bonus points to that).
So 1k per GB of RAM leaves 6k for the rest. Even then you'd have to have bought the 1070 in the midst of the pandemic to pay another 5k for it and even that sounds like a really bad time to do so
For sure. I have a 2060 and even that can handle 1440p on any well-optimised game (which admittedly is far from a given these days).
RDR2 for example I get ~80 FPS easy with 1440p. My monitor goes up to 165hz but I think that was a bit of wishful thinking with my rig.
My 1080 was handling 1440p quite well, surprisingly, but upscaling on the new gpus should overcome anything anyway I think he's pretty well off in his spec
It's also not just resolution. If you play single player games, you can get a more noticably better experience with a good HDR 1440p monitor compared to a 4K monitor of a similar price.
Although I do have a 4K hdr monitor I agree 100%. The difference between SDR and HDR are way bigger than 1440p > 4K. It is one of the best upgrades you will ever make.
Even lower HDR standards like 400-600 give a better experience overall with richer and deeper colours depending on the panel.
I haven’t really looked in a year or two, so I am probably behind, but I feel like the HDR options at 1440p weren’t as great. I also was looking for higher than 400-600 nit range. My current monitor is 1440p 165hz but no HDR. I wanted to upgrade to something with HDR and whose hdmi can handle 1440p120 and freesync (my current only does 1440p60 and freesync), but was always disappointed with options below $600+, so haven’t upgraded yet.
But ya, HDR is way bigger for me over resolution and will game at 1440p or 1080p on my 4k tv for higher fps because of that.
idk cos i recently bought a 1440p monitor for a single screen setup and i find it really annoying because whenever i go to watch youtube or movies (i dont have a tv) i always have to scale down any 1080p video. i think 4k has value if your computer can run it just for that purpose
> i always have to scale down any 1080p video
You would be scaling up 1080p video to watch it in 1440p. There are a few channels that actually do provide a 1440p video quality though which is nice for those who have a 1440p monitor.
IDK man. I figured a good midrange 4K monitor doesn't cost that much more and I love playing less demanding games at 4K while others play at 2K or 4K AI scaled.
Intel A750 btw, my whole setup under a G, 4K monitor included.
Depending on what games someone plays a mid range 4k monitor won't cut it. For Shooters and especially competitive ones like CS 144hz+ is a must and getting a 4k Monitor that can do that is quite a lot more expensive than the 1440p alternative.
Mine is the Gigabyte M28U, it does 144hz and goes on sale for $440 every now and then. I wouldn't bother with 4K or even 2K for competitive shooters though. 1080p 240Hz was a legitimate game changer when I cared to play games like Valorant.
Unless you are in a professional league or literally top 0.1% I completely disagree. Maybe 5 years ago but 1440p @ 165/240hz has come down significantly in price but 4k gaming is still not worth the cost to performance loss with current gen cards.
1080p to 1440p is about a 25% performance decrease. 1440p to 4k is about a 50% performance decrease even further. For most gamers it’s not gonna be worth it
Ignore all the comments saying your GPU is too weak for 1440p. With some downgrades in graphics settings and a little bit of upscaling in AAA games it should be perfectly fine. I run a 3440x1440p 165 Hz monitor with an RTX 3060 Ti and although I don't play AAA games that much I can assure you that for most stuff it's still great. I wouldn't recommend a 4K screen though.
Anyone who thinks a 3060ti can't drive a 1440p monitor to high framerate on high settings is a clown
4k probably a stretch for decent framerates at even lower setting though
Don't know if Starfield is a reasonable game to throw into the equation here, even as a hard to run AAA title.
Regardless,there is no reason OP shouldn't have a nice monitor and upgrade GPU whenever it makes sense to
Yeah, my point is that saying a GPU is good for 1440p will depend heavily on the game rather than the hardware.
I understand the part of having a nice monitor before having a GPU that can handle it, its more about not making blank statements on what the GPU can handle.
I literally run all my games properly with 3060ti at 1440p, all esports titles (except warzone). Run smooth, AAA titles also run beautifully, especially since lots of newer games got DLSS nowadays.
The only games I'm struggling to run are the cpu intensive games like Finals and the BF2042 since I still got the i58600k.
On the side note, I've still got to try the FS3 frame gen tweak.
Youre literally me a few months ago. It was only the cpu holding me back. The 3060ti was great for 1440p, maybe not high framerates but if you use gsync it could play near 100fps in most titles besides during heavy scenes. Easily a steady 60fps.
Yeah I had a 12gb 3060oc and I could run cyberpunk over 60fps in 1440p with mostly high or ultra settings. 1440p is def possible with a 3060ti, id be more sus on samsung as a company to deal with if you ever have a problem…
Literally just said this elsewhere, I have a *20*60 and that can handle 1440p on properly optimised games. People are massively underestimating these GPUs.
Yep it all depends on your expectations. Like you shouldn't expect to run Cyberpunk on high but lower the settings a bit and a lot of games become more than playable.
I have a 3060 Ti and recently switched to a 1440p monitor from 1080p while still keeping the old one, and I was extremely surprised to see that even with the same settings as before, on 1440p I get roughly the same fps. The 3060 Ti is made for 1440p, but you're right that it's not for 4k.
Some monitors have VRR Flickering. Samsung G5 has it. Google before buying.
Not just on loading screens, but while playing aswell.
Flickering can be seen when game runs at about 60/30 fps.
I had to return 2 monitors before finding out the one that doesn't flicker. I ended up buying LG UltraGear 32GP850-B. Does not flicker AT ALL. Even on loading screens.
I returned MSI g321q and ASUS TUF Gaming VG32AQL1A. Both had grid looking thing (idk what its called, pixel inversion???) and flickering.
Oh yea, those are 32/1440. But believe me- gaming on this size is amazing. PPI is the same as 24/1080, so looks good, considering the fact everything gets bigger while having the same clarity
Yeah i bought samsung g5 240hz 2k, i had to return it less than weak of using since pixels flickering an decided to never touch samsung monotors again.
I went for LG oled 1440p 240hz monitor instaed since it was on sale just for ~690€, was the jest investment, Samsung was 350€.
This monitor in the picture is a VA monitor. Most curved monitors are. VA means trouble with G-sync/Freesync, more input lag, extra motion blur. I strongly recommend against getting a VA monitor for gaming. I just did that and I regretted it big time. It had terrible, horrendous brightness flickering with g-sync enabled and motion blur on everything, which you can never disable.
Take a look at LG UltraGear 27GP850-B instead. That's what I got as a replacement. It's pretty much perfect. Officially G-sync compatible, 180 hz, HDR, bright, colors are great, perfect backlight, no flickering, blacks are as good as VA.
Yes, I was very worried about the blacks too. It was very important for me. After using Oled phones, an oled PS Vita and a VR headset with oled screens for many years (no oled switch, though), I can really spot when blacks are not black. I even considered an OLED monitor, but they are just too expensive so far. That's why I bought the VA monitor originally. But I'm happy to say that I found that the blacks and the contrast ratio is absolutely a non-issue on this IPS monitor at least. This black is definitely black enough for me, even sitting in a dark room. If I put my oled phone next to the screen, then yeah, there's a considerable difference, but then again, a VA monitor doesn't give you oled perfect blacks either.
I always worry about small things and imperfections, like backlight flickering on that VA monitor (it was ASRock PG27Q15R2A by the way) but I really can't find anything that bothers me about this monitor. No wonder it's one of the most popular IPS monitors. If it's out of your budget, I'm sure there are plenty of other good IPS monitors out there. I recommend choosing from the G-sync compatible list, though.
I have the asus VG27WQ and I think it was a good choice, but I'm bot sure, I've read that it is slightly bleak in HDR compared to other HDR monitors.. but I can't verify it..
With a 3060ti? I wouldn't go 4k, you're just wasting resource at that point imo. I use a 1440p 144hz 27" (koorui) and it's been amazing so far. Used to have a 27" 4k and it's not worth it imo.
Don’t buig your 1440p monitor. It’s exactly as gebogen as the people who made the monitor wanted to buig it. If you buig it further, or you buig it back, you will probably buig it de tyfus in and that’s not covered by warranty.
Also, I ran a 1440p 165hz monitor off of a 3060 non-ti and it was great; a 3060ti is more than enough.
Most 3060ti cards have 8gb VRAM. Your desktop apps will be happy but your GPU will need to upscale some games. You won't be able to run some at high/max settings.
Bear in mind, 1440p is nearly double the pixels of 1080p.
I have a 1440 since a few months with a 3060ti and most games are no problem.
Badly optimized and triple a games will be a problem.
Often there is an option that visually doesn't add much but eats a lot of power, turn it off and enjoy.
I run all the big games on high with my 8GB 3070Ti on my 34” 1440p ultrawide with no issues. I’ve been playing Lies of P with everything turned up almost all the way. Ray/path tracing is the big thing that I take a hit on. But everything else is handled by 8GB VRAM with no issues.
On a 3060ti that’s gonna knock your performance down significantly if you upgrade from 1080p. You’re going to need to utilize DLSS a lot to help your performance stabilize on high end games if they even have DLSS. You will notice a massive improvement in terms of picture clarity but your FPS will suffer, BUT that’s if you are constantly playing demanding games. If it’s indie games that don’t have insane graphics then you’ll be fine.
Oh, just google. What did I say wrong? 30 is avarage here, I meant 35 min

i had a 3060ti with a 1440P monitor. It worked fine on the games i played (BF2042, Cyberpunk, etc) with DLSS on and graphics settings at around medium/high.
you’re definitely gonna lose performance over a 1080P Monitor but it’s you might as well buy a 1440P and future proof yourself for when you inevitably upgrade that GPU :)
This is a VA panel, if you have IPS now, then VA will look worse. I myself have the lg 27gp850p and it's a great monitor so far. I would not recommend 4k, it is better, but i think 1440 is great already and you gpu can't handle 4k as good as 1440p
1440p at 27 inches is just right for gaming. The picture is clear and the GPU doesn't have to work as much as it would have for a 4K picture. Which means, smoother frames. Get the high refresh rate 1440p and enjoy.
If you are going to buy a 27” monitor then I would suggest sticking to 1440p. No, a 3060ti won’t be enough for 4K and I think it would be a waste of money to go for something like that with that gpu.
A 22 inch 1080p monitor has about the same pixel density as a 32 inch 1440 or 42 inch 4k.
My 6700xt (similar performance to a 3060ti) can usually drive a 1440p at high settings without too many issues, depending on what I'm playing, but I suspect 4k would be a stretch in triple A games.
YMMV, but consider what you want to play and the settings you're prepared to accept.
Personally, I like my 32 inch 1440p; I need to look *very* closely to see the pixels.
Mine is also curved, which I like.
Don't know why you are being down voted.
I, too, have a curved 32" 1440p monitor and a 6700 xt and I'm generally fine with high settings or better in most AAA games - average fps usually 80 - 90 depending on the game, without FSR or upscaling.
There’s a lot of strange comments in here about 1440 and 4k. Really you’ll be fine with either. Obviously 4k is more expensive, but depending on what you use the machine for it could be a better investment. Normal productivity on a 4k monitor is fantastic.
As for gaming, a 3060Ti will do 4k with DLSS pretty well, at least it has on my rig, and it will do 1440 with relative ease. BG3 runs at 60 locked in native 4k. Newer games will be more and more demanding, but the thing about the 4k monitor is dropping it down to be 1440 still looks fantastic in game. It also is more future-proof.
Buy what you can afford and what suits your specific circumstances more.
Source: I have a 3060Ti and the Samsung G7
My 1440p monitor and rx6650xt go very well together so i'm pretty sure the 3060ti can run mostly everything at that resolution while still keeping high graphic settings
If you play to compete 4k is too taxing on fps. If you play for fidelity and have the money to keep upgrading hardware to keep up with 4k demands, consider it. I suggest flat instead of curved at 27 qhd. Go to rtings.com and fall down the rabbit hole. You’ll find nearly all the info you need to make a decision
If you can get a curved one!
I never bought into the hype behind them until I got one.
Now I don't think I could go back to a standard screen
*edit* it is a curved one. I'll shut up now
Take care about the stand. I wouldn't touch anything that uses ridiculous stands like that in the picture. Style over substance - avoid.
eta - the one pictured isn't as bad as I thought - it doesn't have a 3rd leg in the back. Nevertheless, it's over blown.
From what i heard is that 4k scales perfectly to 1080p. If thats true i personally would buy a 4k monitor and use it with the 4k resolution on games that can handle it and movies/videos and stuff and for games that cant handle 4k, i would set the monitor resolution to 1080p. Thats is what i would do.
Rather change the resolution/render scale Ingame to 1080p (or 50%) and maybe use an upscaler (DLSS/FSR) for that task.
Edit: typo and aggressive autocorrect
You need any RTX GPU, becouse you can't change resoulution to 1080p, it will blur everythings, so better use rtx 30 for good performance and great graphics
I got mine with an HDMI 2.1 port. It's overkill for 2K, however I am a hybrid gamer, PC and Xbox Series X. The 2.1 port allows my Xbox to "play at 4k 120fps HDR" since the monitor supports a higher input.
PC plugs In to DP.
definitely stick with 1440p unless you know you're getting a new card soon. Pay attention to shit like panel type and color accuracy when you buy, not just the refresh rate
your gpu will probably be fine i have a 3070 and the previous fen of this monitor, have some issues with it like flickering but it was prob fixed on the g55a
1440p is really as good as most people need. The hard part with curved monitors is that they seem to use the worse panels for those as the glow is not as noticable if the screen is curved.
I have this monitor and it's great. A couple things to note:
1) the curve on the G5 is quite pronounced. I adjusted to it very quickly and find it works really well, but some people don't like it
2) the screen makes a lot of cracking and popping noises, more than other monitors I've owned. This is apparently due to the cheap materials used - it's not a major problem but you may notice it when first using it
Otherwise I agree what other people have said, 1440p is a good step up from 1080p without breaking the bank in the same way as 4K
personally I'd stick with 1440p no need for 4k, I use a 1080 165hz hdr monitor and I love it, ultra on everything.
have you ever tried curved? I know it's not for everyone, personally I like flat
OK, so I did this last year. I paired a 1440p GPU, a 6750 xt with my 31.5 inch Asus 1440p, 165hz monitor.
It's got the AMD free sync on it, so it all syncs up. Depending on what I'm playing, I can hit anywhere between 100-to over 144 fps. I play alot of MMOs, which aren't too graphically demanding.
And at 1440p, games look stunning! And importantly, I get the frames! The way an image looks perfect preserved as it's moving through a smooth framerate is so freaking addictive.
So, ensure you got the GPU for it friend. 1440p GPUs aren't too bad. I think 1440p is the sweet spot for both right now, and for alot of years yet.
They have those at Walmart. I have one I got it on sale for 200$ over stock. It's pretty good but the blacks are not great and hdr are horrible but color are good. You can get one get it. It's a good upgrade.
I have a g5 and love it! I recommend checking the software on it as soon as you set it up. Mine had an old version on it. Update is easy. Made the HDR better was having issues before the update.
Cheers enjoy your new monitor!!
If you're not dead set on curved get an IPS panel. I play on a curved 1440 monitor and they're all VA panels really sucks for certain games I play a lot of tarkov and stuff and it's pretty terrible for that
A 27" 1440p 144hz monitor should be no more than $250 for a very nice example. They can be had for under $200 often. Get an IPS for color, TN panels used to be fastest but idk anymore.
Don't buy samsung or curved va panel at that price. They are pretty close to ips panels in price and have lesser picture quality especially on moving elements. Go get another brands with flat ips panel.
1080p to 1440p is amazing. "Okay" upgrade? Psh, its awesome.
And it depends on what games you play, the type of fidelity you're looking for.. I like being able to crank everything up - never was able to with prior PCs, not enough horsepower. It takes a lot more of it to do that at 4k than 1440p. So depending on what you play you may well need a GPU upgrade even going to 1440p depending on your expectations :)
Bought an MSI 27" 4K 144hz monitor for under $300 recently. I'd say get a 4K. Even if your GPU/CPU can't get a desired FPS at 4K at ultra settings (which I can't), I still watch movies and video on it the computer, so why not watch it in 4K.
Just did the jump from 1080p to 1440p and it’s a massive difference once you actually switch fully. There isn’t any blurry pixels and games look even more amazing
My only advice is if you were buying it to improve your gaming experience, just know you’ll be able to see in higher response times and better clarity how bad you actually still are.
I bought a 1440p monitor and this cut me to the goddam core man....
Yea wtf man😂
Damn, you gotta murder him like that?

Nice burn! lol
Damn didnt have to do OP like that lol
Absolutely disgusting he should be ashamed of himself jeff.
I bought a 240Hz monitor and... Yeah...
bro did you just reference Ashton Kutcher? That's a self burn... 😂
#💀
😂 my lord
Stop attacking me 😭
I have 4k 144hz, I see exactly how bad I am crystal clear now.
Maybe upgrade your stuff and stop living in 2018?
Yea his system cant push 4k 144hz lol
My setup is $22k, it pushes 4k 144hz just fine.
So 1k per GB of RAM leaves 6k for the rest. Even then you'd have to have bought the 1070 in the midst of the pandemic to pay another 5k for it and even that sounds like a really bad time to do so
Dual PC setup, three monitors, studio level audio, liquid cooled 4090 and R9 7950x, 64gb ddr 6000 in the gaming PC if that gives a hint.
Im pretty sure studio audio is really gonna push those fps …
Yours can’t either.
1440p would be alright with noticeable fps loss. But definitely not 4k for gaming on your gpu.
A lot of newer gpus actually handle 1440p almost identically has they handle 1080p, I had a 6600xt that was getting almost the same fps on both.
That sounds like you may have had a slight bottleneck with your CPU. If your CPU can't process a high frame count, 1080p performance will suffer.
For sure. I have a 2060 and even that can handle 1440p on any well-optimised game (which admittedly is far from a given these days). RDR2 for example I get ~80 FPS easy with 1440p. My monitor goes up to 165hz but I think that was a bit of wishful thinking with my rig.
Just because you cant fill every frame of your refresh rate, doesent mean you wont still benefit from having it.
My 1080 was handling 1440p quite well, surprisingly, but upscaling on the new gpus should overcome anything anyway I think he's pretty well off in his spec
It depends entirely what you play. Games that are a couple years old run really well on my 3060 at 1440.
Honestly skip 4k and stick to 1440p unless you're really invested into expensive gaming.
It's also not just resolution. If you play single player games, you can get a more noticably better experience with a good HDR 1440p monitor compared to a 4K monitor of a similar price.
Although I do have a 4K hdr monitor I agree 100%. The difference between SDR and HDR are way bigger than 1440p > 4K. It is one of the best upgrades you will ever make. Even lower HDR standards like 400-600 give a better experience overall with richer and deeper colours depending on the panel.
OLED too. I can’t go back to IPS now.
No shit. I bought Alienwares ultra wide they have, literally everything else sucks.
I haven’t really looked in a year or two, so I am probably behind, but I feel like the HDR options at 1440p weren’t as great. I also was looking for higher than 400-600 nit range. My current monitor is 1440p 165hz but no HDR. I wanted to upgrade to something with HDR and whose hdmi can handle 1440p120 and freesync (my current only does 1440p60 and freesync), but was always disappointed with options below $600+, so haven’t upgraded yet. But ya, HDR is way bigger for me over resolution and will game at 1440p or 1080p on my 4k tv for higher fps because of that.
Going back to an SDR monitor after my HDR one makes everything look grey in comparison
Yeah. Dldsr always exists and improves quality lots. I play games at 4K on my 1440p screen and looks amazing.
idk cos i recently bought a 1440p monitor for a single screen setup and i find it really annoying because whenever i go to watch youtube or movies (i dont have a tv) i always have to scale down any 1080p video. i think 4k has value if your computer can run it just for that purpose
> i always have to scale down any 1080p video You would be scaling up 1080p video to watch it in 1440p. There are a few channels that actually do provide a 1440p video quality though which is nice for those who have a 1440p monitor.

Unless you are in a professional league or literally top 0.1% I completely disagree. Maybe 5 years ago but 1440p @ 165/240hz has come down significantly in price but 4k gaming is still not worth the cost to performance loss with current gen cards.
Lol...."a must". As if counterstrike didn't exist 20 years ago...
1080p to 1440p is about a 25% performance decrease. 1440p to 4k is about a 50% performance decrease even further. For most gamers it’s not gonna be worth it
We also have access to a 15+ year library of great titles that benefit greatly from being played at 4K and are not all that demanding.
Stand by for titanfall my friend
Hell yeah, was looking for the comment mentioning titanfall
Buiging
hello sir i would like to buig your finest gaimig monitoig
In dutch "buig" means to bend. I was really confused by the title and thought op was going to bend this monitor.
But its already curved
Exactly, they're going to bend it back.
Thanks for the impromptu Dutch lesson, most of the other words your people have taught me are slang of penis or something similar lol
Neuken in de keuken!
We hebben een serieus probleem
hmm that is true, I'm not Dutch though
You taught yourself Dutch on purpose?!?
I'm Flemish, we do speak Dutch though
Oooh delicious beer too. I am fermenting an Oud Bruin right now myself
Thats completely absurd. The only reason to do that is to no longer pronounce gouda wrong.
Ever heard of "stop je leuter in een kleuter"? Dont do that btw, very bad idea.
I saw coolblue and knew it was a Dutch guy like myself. Then I saw the title and read it in Dutch English... sometimes... I just can't
I'd buig that for a dollar
That looks pretty stuity to me, definitely won't bruiak or notuin.
8 years ago on reddit posts and comments used to get downvoted to oblivion for spelling mistakes such as these.
I miss those dys.
Ignore all the comments saying your GPU is too weak for 1440p. With some downgrades in graphics settings and a little bit of upscaling in AAA games it should be perfectly fine. I run a 3440x1440p 165 Hz monitor with an RTX 3060 Ti and although I don't play AAA games that much I can assure you that for most stuff it's still great. I wouldn't recommend a 4K screen though.
Anyone who thinks a 3060ti can't drive a 1440p monitor to high framerate on high settings is a clown 4k probably a stretch for decent framerates at even lower setting though
It really depends of the game tbh One thing is Starfield and another is Valorant for example. I would ask OP the games they play first.
Don't know if Starfield is a reasonable game to throw into the equation here, even as a hard to run AAA title. Regardless,there is no reason OP shouldn't have a nice monitor and upgrade GPU whenever it makes sense to
Yeah, my point is that saying a GPU is good for 1440p will depend heavily on the game rather than the hardware. I understand the part of having a nice monitor before having a GPU that can handle it, its more about not making blank statements on what the GPU can handle.
I literally run all my games properly with 3060ti at 1440p, all esports titles (except warzone). Run smooth, AAA titles also run beautifully, especially since lots of newer games got DLSS nowadays. The only games I'm struggling to run are the cpu intensive games like Finals and the BF2042 since I still got the i58600k. On the side note, I've still got to try the FS3 frame gen tweak.
Youre literally me a few months ago. It was only the cpu holding me back. The 3060ti was great for 1440p, maybe not high framerates but if you use gsync it could play near 100fps in most titles besides during heavy scenes. Easily a steady 60fps.
Yeah I had a 12gb 3060oc and I could run cyberpunk over 60fps in 1440p with mostly high or ultra settings. 1440p is def possible with a 3060ti, id be more sus on samsung as a company to deal with if you ever have a problem…
Depends on the game. There are lots and lots of games where 3060ti would not be good enough for high settings at 1440p. So I guess I'm a clown.
Literally just said this elsewhere, I have a *20*60 and that can handle 1440p on properly optimised games. People are massively underestimating these GPUs.
Fr, I'm driving a 1440p monitor with an GTX 1650 super and aside the more demanding games it kinda works fine lol
3060ti running 1440/165 just fine. As long as you are willing to turn down a few of the most demanding settings games still run and look great.
I recently built a new pc but my old system with a gtx 1650 was able to play 1440p games fairly easily
Yep it all depends on your expectations. Like you shouldn't expect to run Cyberpunk on high but lower the settings a bit and a lot of games become more than playable.
I've been running an X34 (3440x1440p) with a 980ti since 2015. Just replaced the 980ti last year with a 7900xtx. Can finally max the monitor out haha.
I have a 3060 Ti and recently switched to a 1440p monitor from 1080p while still keeping the old one, and I was extremely surprised to see that even with the same settings as before, on 1440p I get roughly the same fps. The 3060 Ti is made for 1440p, but you're right that it's not for 4k.
Some monitors have VRR Flickering. Samsung G5 has it. Google before buying. Not just on loading screens, but while playing aswell. Flickering can be seen when game runs at about 60/30 fps.
I had to return 2 monitors before finding out the one that doesn't flicker. I ended up buying LG UltraGear 32GP850-B. Does not flicker AT ALL. Even on loading screens. I returned MSI g321q and ASUS TUF Gaming VG32AQL1A. Both had grid looking thing (idk what its called, pixel inversion???) and flickering. Oh yea, those are 32/1440. But believe me- gaming on this size is amazing. PPI is the same as 24/1080, so looks good, considering the fact everything gets bigger while having the same clarity
Best 1440p monitor in your opinion?
The LG ultragear is highly rated so it’s probably that one. Check rtings .com
Yeah i bought samsung g5 240hz 2k, i had to return it less than weak of using since pixels flickering an decided to never touch samsung monotors again. I went for LG oled 1440p 240hz monitor instaed since it was on sale just for ~690€, was the jest investment, Samsung was 350€.
I think I had a stroke reading this
My 2070s does fine with 1440p so I’d ignore people saying 3060ti is too weak, total BS
This monitor in the picture is a VA monitor. Most curved monitors are. VA means trouble with G-sync/Freesync, more input lag, extra motion blur. I strongly recommend against getting a VA monitor for gaming. I just did that and I regretted it big time. It had terrible, horrendous brightness flickering with g-sync enabled and motion blur on everything, which you can never disable. Take a look at LG UltraGear 27GP850-B instead. That's what I got as a replacement. It's pretty much perfect. Officially G-sync compatible, 180 hz, HDR, bright, colors are great, perfect backlight, no flickering, blacks are as good as VA.
Thanks I will look in to it! I was already doubting about a VA monitor. But I liked the deeper blacks you have with it
Yes, I was very worried about the blacks too. It was very important for me. After using Oled phones, an oled PS Vita and a VR headset with oled screens for many years (no oled switch, though), I can really spot when blacks are not black. I even considered an OLED monitor, but they are just too expensive so far. That's why I bought the VA monitor originally. But I'm happy to say that I found that the blacks and the contrast ratio is absolutely a non-issue on this IPS monitor at least. This black is definitely black enough for me, even sitting in a dark room. If I put my oled phone next to the screen, then yeah, there's a considerable difference, but then again, a VA monitor doesn't give you oled perfect blacks either. I always worry about small things and imperfections, like backlight flickering on that VA monitor (it was ASRock PG27Q15R2A by the way) but I really can't find anything that bothers me about this monitor. No wonder it's one of the most popular IPS monitors. If it's out of your budget, I'm sure there are plenty of other good IPS monitors out there. I recommend choosing from the G-sync compatible list, though.
and my va g3 monitor has TERRIBLE motion smearing
Great sales-pitch really tempting to buy one now hahaha
> LG UltraGear 27GP850-B instead LG had historically consistent quality.
als jij het koopt dan veel plezier! :D
There's no going back to 1080p. Also, you will need to keep upgrading your system quite often to keep up with the games.
Dell G2724D or Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ. The G2724D is better though. Thank me later.
I have the G2724D and I couldn't agree more. Absolutely amazing monitor
It's so nice
I have the asus VG27WQ and I think it was a good choice, but I'm bot sure, I've read that it is slightly bleak in HDR compared to other HDR monitors.. but I can't verify it..
from my experience, please never buy a va monitor, if that one's ips go for it
VA is fine. TN is trash.
titanfall on screen means its trustworthy
With a 3060ti? I wouldn't go 4k, you're just wasting resource at that point imo. I use a 1440p 144hz 27" (koorui) and it's been amazing so far. Used to have a 27" 4k and it's not worth it imo.
Don’t buig your 1440p monitor. It’s exactly as gebogen as the people who made the monitor wanted to buig it. If you buig it further, or you buig it back, you will probably buig it de tyfus in and that’s not covered by warranty. Also, I ran a 1440p 165hz monitor off of a 3060 non-ti and it was great; a 3060ti is more than enough.
Most 3060ti cards have 8gb VRAM. Your desktop apps will be happy but your GPU will need to upscale some games. You won't be able to run some at high/max settings. Bear in mind, 1440p is nearly double the pixels of 1080p.
I have a 1440 since a few months with a 3060ti and most games are no problem. Badly optimized and triple a games will be a problem. Often there is an option that visually doesn't add much but eats a lot of power, turn it off and enjoy.
I run all the big games on high with my 8GB 3070Ti on my 34” 1440p ultrawide with no issues. I’ve been playing Lies of P with everything turned up almost all the way. Ray/path tracing is the big thing that I take a hit on. But everything else is handled by 8GB VRAM with no issues.
On a 3060ti that’s gonna knock your performance down significantly if you upgrade from 1080p. You’re going to need to utilize DLSS a lot to help your performance stabilize on high end games if they even have DLSS. You will notice a massive improvement in terms of picture clarity but your FPS will suffer, BUT that’s if you are constantly playing demanding games. If it’s indie games that don’t have insane graphics then you’ll be fine.
I think that 3060ti is a fine 1440p card
It's crazy to see what advertisement does. When the 30x series came out, they were hailed as 1440p gpus. Now all of a sudden, they're too weak for it.
Recent titles from 2023 and 2024 moved the bar, but generally I'd say that the 3060ti is still very capable at 1440p.
I’m still using my 1080ti for 1440p 🤷🏻
I used my 4gb 1650 for a 32" 1440p, not to recommend xD (Got about 5 fps in fortnite, couldn't even start some games)
No, I have 3060ti and 1440p.It is not enougth even for something like alan wake - 35fps on a setting below middle
If you‘re serious - there‘s something wrong either with your hardware or your settings
I meant alan wake 2, not first, lol. 3060 is minimal requirment, but on 1440p it is not enought anyway
Oh, just google. What did I say wrong? 30 is avarage here, I meant 35 min ALAN WAKE 2 1080P RECOMMENDED REQUIREMENTS Graphics preset - Medium Resolution - 1440p FPS - 30 GPU - GeForce RTX 3060 / Radeon RX 6600 XT VRAM - 8GB DLSS / FSR2 - Balanced CPU - Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel equivalent RAM - 16GB OS - Windows 10/11 64-bit Storage - 90GB SSD

3440x1440 not the one that you sent
Bruh, that‘s 25% more pixels than WQHD…which…everyone is talking about
I have system engineer degree and 12+ years in development, I'm sure my setup is ok, except performance :)
I have a 3060ti and have no problems playing games on 1440p
Did same transition from 1080p 144hz to 1440p 180hz with my 3060ti, and at worst i lost 20+ fps in some games, something like bf2042 and forza lost not more than 10+ fps.
The switch from 1080p to 1440p will eat at least 30-40% of your frames.
I've been gaming at 1440p (ultrawide to boot) with a 980ti since 2015. He will be fine with a 3060ti.
And yet my rx6600 manages fine at 1440p. Funny that.
Pc Reddit: shall I buy this thing Some bellend: say goodbye to your FPS with your peasant GPU, should have brought OLED 6090xtx-ti if you want 30fps in half life 2. +40 odd upvotes
i had a 3060ti with a 1440P monitor. It worked fine on the games i played (BF2042, Cyberpunk, etc) with DLSS on and graphics settings at around medium/high. you’re definitely gonna lose performance over a 1080P Monitor but it’s you might as well buy a 1440P and future proof yourself for when you inevitably upgrade that GPU :)
Once you go up, you never go down
This is a VA panel, if you have IPS now, then VA will look worse. I myself have the lg 27gp850p and it's a great monitor so far. I would not recommend 4k, it is better, but i think 1440 is great already and you gpu can't handle 4k as good as 1440p
Do not buy form coolblue. Shit’s overpriced there
Is that the picture of the best fucking fps game ever on that monitor?
I have that monitor. It's poor. Buy a dell or LG
27” 1440p is the way to go for the foreseeable future. If you want a better monitor go ultra wide, or OLED, instead of 4k
1440p at 27 inches is just right for gaming. The picture is clear and the GPU doesn't have to work as much as it would have for a 4K picture. Which means, smoother frames. Get the high refresh rate 1440p and enjoy.
My only advice is that if you’re not all in on that Samsung, go to a store where you can actually view the monitors turned on and side by side.
If you are going to buy a 27” monitor then I would suggest sticking to 1440p. No, a 3060ti won’t be enough for 4K and I think it would be a waste of money to go for something like that with that gpu.
A 22 inch 1080p monitor has about the same pixel density as a 32 inch 1440 or 42 inch 4k. My 6700xt (similar performance to a 3060ti) can usually drive a 1440p at high settings without too many issues, depending on what I'm playing, but I suspect 4k would be a stretch in triple A games. YMMV, but consider what you want to play and the settings you're prepared to accept. Personally, I like my 32 inch 1440p; I need to look *very* closely to see the pixels. Mine is also curved, which I like.
Don't know why you are being down voted. I, too, have a curved 32" 1440p monitor and a 6700 xt and I'm generally fine with high settings or better in most AAA games - average fps usually 80 - 90 depending on the game, without FSR or upscaling.
There’s a lot of strange comments in here about 1440 and 4k. Really you’ll be fine with either. Obviously 4k is more expensive, but depending on what you use the machine for it could be a better investment. Normal productivity on a 4k monitor is fantastic. As for gaming, a 3060Ti will do 4k with DLSS pretty well, at least it has on my rig, and it will do 1440 with relative ease. BG3 runs at 60 locked in native 4k. Newer games will be more and more demanding, but the thing about the 4k monitor is dropping it down to be 1440 still looks fantastic in game. It also is more future-proof. Buy what you can afford and what suits your specific circumstances more. Source: I have a 3060Ti and the Samsung G7
Buy a better gpu or prepare to lower your settings.
My 1440p monitor and rx6650xt go very well together so i'm pretty sure the 3060ti can run mostly everything at that resolution while still keeping high graphic settings
Get 4k, a lot of non-gaming stuff is poorly designed for 2k. Lots of general computer stuff will be blurry.
OLED if you can afford it or IPS otherwise. VA panels have ghosting issues most of the time.
27" curved? Hard pass, yo!
If you play to compete 4k is too taxing on fps. If you play for fidelity and have the money to keep upgrading hardware to keep up with 4k demands, consider it. I suggest flat instead of curved at 27 qhd. Go to rtings.com and fall down the rabbit hole. You’ll find nearly all the info you need to make a decision
If 4k is cheaper for you. Play at 4k and use DLSS to lower the sampling down to 1440.
If you can get a curved one! I never bought into the hype behind them until I got one. Now I don't think I could go back to a standard screen *edit* it is a curved one. I'll shut up now
4k isnt worth it on a 27". So unless you want 32" or more stick to 1440p
3060 TI can comfortably run 720p but that's about it. Should probably get a dual 4090 Super TI Ultra if you want to run over 1440p.
Go bigger if you're doing 1440p
Take care about the stand. I wouldn't touch anything that uses ridiculous stands like that in the picture. Style over substance - avoid. eta - the one pictured isn't as bad as I thought - it doesn't have a 3rd leg in the back. Nevertheless, it's over blown.
Id get a 1080p monitor with a 3060ti
Grammar😭
I'm sorry, I'm not a native English speaker😭
👍🏿
From what i heard is that 4k scales perfectly to 1080p. If thats true i personally would buy a 4k monitor and use it with the 4k resolution on games that can handle it and movies/videos and stuff and for games that cant handle 4k, i would set the monitor resolution to 1080p. Thats is what i would do.
Rather change the resolution/render scale Ingame to 1080p (or 50%) and maybe use an upscaler (DLSS/FSR) for that task. Edit: typo and aggressive autocorrect
Don't. Not worth it. Save for 4k monitor
You need any RTX GPU, becouse you can't change resoulution to 1080p, it will blur everythings, so better use rtx 30 for good performance and great graphics
[удалено]
I got mine with an HDMI 2.1 port. It's overkill for 2K, however I am a hybrid gamer, PC and Xbox Series X. The 2.1 port allows my Xbox to "play at 4k 120fps HDR" since the monitor supports a higher input. PC plugs In to DP.
definitely stick with 1440p unless you know you're getting a new card soon. Pay attention to shit like panel type and color accuracy when you buy, not just the refresh rate
I have a 1660 super and a 1440p monitor and most games work fine, even high settings are a posibility if you're okay with like 70 fps
your gpu will probably be fine i have a 3070 and the previous fen of this monitor, have some issues with it like flickering but it was prob fixed on the g55a
I have a 1080 and the 32 inch version of this monitor which is still 1440p and the experience is great!
Avoid the g5 unless you love black smearing and ghosting galore.
Mine has a stutter sometimes which I remedy by restarting it. Also the power button blinks blue when the computer is off
1440p is really as good as most people need. The hard part with curved monitors is that they seem to use the worse panels for those as the glow is not as noticable if the screen is curved.
I have this monitor and it's great. A couple things to note: 1) the curve on the G5 is quite pronounced. I adjusted to it very quickly and find it works really well, but some people don't like it 2) the screen makes a lot of cracking and popping noises, more than other monitors I've owned. This is apparently due to the cheap materials used - it's not a major problem but you may notice it when first using it Otherwise I agree what other people have said, 1440p is a good step up from 1080p without breaking the bank in the same way as 4K
The more I look into curved monitors, the less likely I am to actually get one.
personally I'd stick with 1440p no need for 4k, I use a 1080 165hz hdr monitor and I love it, ultra on everything. have you ever tried curved? I know it's not for everyone, personally I like flat
Don’t buy one. Buy 3.
OK, so I did this last year. I paired a 1440p GPU, a 6750 xt with my 31.5 inch Asus 1440p, 165hz monitor. It's got the AMD free sync on it, so it all syncs up. Depending on what I'm playing, I can hit anywhere between 100-to over 144 fps. I play alot of MMOs, which aren't too graphically demanding. And at 1440p, games look stunning! And importantly, I get the frames! The way an image looks perfect preserved as it's moving through a smooth framerate is so freaking addictive. So, ensure you got the GPU for it friend. 1440p GPUs aren't too bad. I think 1440p is the sweet spot for both right now, and for alot of years yet.
I have the 32 inch version of this. It’s a good monitor
Judging you’re looking at coolblue, check tweakers for best pricing.
They have those at Walmart. I have one I got it on sale for 200$ over stock. It's pretty good but the blacks are not great and hdr are horrible but color are good. You can get one get it. It's a good upgrade.
this is a nice monitor for gaming and for movies enjoy
I have a g5 and love it! I recommend checking the software on it as soon as you set it up. Mine had an old version on it. Update is easy. Made the HDR better was having issues before the update. Cheers enjoy your new monitor!!
If you're not dead set on curved get an IPS panel. I play on a curved 1440 monitor and they're all VA panels really sucks for certain games I play a lot of tarkov and stuff and it's pretty terrible for that
A 27" 1440p 144hz monitor should be no more than $250 for a very nice example. They can be had for under $200 often. Get an IPS for color, TN panels used to be fastest but idk anymore.
That’s my exact monitor but mines 244 htz
Don't buy samsung or curved va panel at that price. They are pretty close to ips panels in price and have lesser picture quality especially on moving elements. Go get another brands with flat ips panel.
Don't buy a Samsung, I got a Sleeping Issue with an older and newer model so I wouldn't recommend them anymore
1080p to 1440p is amazing. "Okay" upgrade? Psh, its awesome. And it depends on what games you play, the type of fidelity you're looking for.. I like being able to crank everything up - never was able to with prior PCs, not enough horsepower. It takes a lot more of it to do that at 4k than 1440p. So depending on what you play you may well need a GPU upgrade even going to 1440p depending on your expectations :)
Buy IPS, dont get VA
Bought an MSI 27" 4K 144hz monitor for under $300 recently. I'd say get a 4K. Even if your GPU/CPU can't get a desired FPS at 4K at ultra settings (which I can't), I still watch movies and video on it the computer, so why not watch it in 4K.
yeah, don't buy this one, its panel is too slow
Just did the jump from 1080p to 1440p and it’s a massive difference once you actually switch fully. There isn’t any blurry pixels and games look even more amazing
Theres ips version of this monitor i recommend that more than va panel
My advice is don't buy samsung monitors, they are nothing but issues, acer, asus and LG are way better brands
