Samsung S32D850T For Gaming?

dreamtfk · Feb 9, 2015

Really intrigued by this monitor and was wondering if anyone has experience using it for gaming? I would also like G-sync capability but at this size and resolution there aren't really any choices to be had.

I am a bit leery about going 4K as I have heard bad things about mouse lag and my GTX 670 probably won't be able to handle it well.

Your 670 will be crippled in-game at 4K.
A lot of games, even on low detail will end up in the single digit FPS range. AKA slideshow.

Agreed however this monitor is not 4K though it is 1440p.

At 1440p you're going to be looking at 20-30 FPS, maybe a bit more.
You'll have issues with textures popping in and out though, as you'll run out of vRAM.

Gotcha. Do you think a 970 would suffice? Would also like to hear anyones input on this monitor.

I have read the rumors about G-sync being enabled via software as well so that would make monitor shopping easier.

If you are comfortable with it 'actually' being a 3.5GB card (GTX 970), which a lot are, then that is the card of choice.

The monitor has to have G-Sync capability for you to use G-Sync.
A 970 would be fine for 1440p.
