Re: MonoPrice Monitor 30" 2560x1600 @ 120hz

This monitor has caught my eye, but lack of sufficient reviews makes me hesitant, especially from TFTcentral.

As I don't have a DVI-D, the cheaper overclockable korean panels are off the table.

Being 30" and overclockable would be very nice.
Do not buy this POS. It skips frames, making any ...

IPS, 1440p, 27", 120hz
Except we'll likely have to wait until April for this one, just like the ACER.

This is basically one LONG test of patience... :?

Thanks, I just gave DSR a try and it's definitely helpful on my temp 720p. SLI 980 is a HELL of a powerhouse, I expect that I should be good for a couple of years.

Re: Acer announces 144hz IPS 1440p G-SYNC! [XB270HU, XG270HU

After what happened with the swift you better hope there aren't supply constraints. This will be the first time I'm preordering hardware.

I'm REALLY tempted. But after the conversion, it's still almost $1000!!! :shock:

I'm thinking, maybe I should wait until a preorder is available in the US ...

Re: Should I keep/return my 980?

Is this at 4k? I'm only plan on gaming at 1440p

Yes, DSR 4x is downsampling 3840x2160 on 1920x1080 display.

But 2560x1440 is also almost twice as many pixels as 1920x1080, so it's also very demanding.

You are running 1080p monitor right now? You could enable DSR 2x now to see roughly ...

Should I keep/return my 980?

I may have to end up settling for a 60hz monitor, as I don't know if I can wait 2+ months before I can get an IPS with a higher refresh rate.

With that said, I still have some time to return my second MSI 980 card. Would there be any benefit to having an SLI setup for a 60hz monitor?

Thanks

Re: 96 hz vs 120 hz: Noticeable Difference?

Actually, I won't be able to use the QNIX, except for the True10 monitor, because I don't have a DVI-D connector on my MSI 980. So I can't get one even if I wanted to, since the condition is that the monitor be overclockable.
