Need a Monitor for 1080 Gaming

[Blaylock]

I'm looking for a monitor to pair up with my http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/780000-dismalDIRGE-(A-Ryzen-Build).

We're looking at a $500 budget and would prefer to utilize G-Sync from his GTX1070SC. Monitor size should be between 24" - 32" with a minimum 1920×1080 resolution. It should be a pretty easy find but I'm not current with which brands are best ATM.

TIA

In budget:

Slightly over budget, but you might be able to find an open box deal:

You'll never forgive yourself if you don't get the 27"


6 bills is not so bad for that monitor , Dell will put that on sale at some point

best i could find... man G-sync is way overpriced. lol id assume not use it at all like we have been for 20 years lolol

Options are extremely limited right now. I've been watching for months and I've stopped recently because the market is so poor right now :/

If you are not in a hurry I would wait.

I would skip G-Sync at 1080p with a 1070. You'll most likely be running everything well past any 1080p's refresh rate.

Having said that, there's a few decent options at 1440p, notably this one, although that is also not GSync. It's also a hundred bucks under budget though.

That's an interesting thought. So do you think 1440 would look/refresh better than 1080 w/gsync?

Look? Certainly. Refresh? Depends on the game. My SLI 980s keep almost everything I throw at my monitor above 144FPS, and the ones that they can't don't dip below 100FPS. I can feel a slight slow down, but certainly not as slow as at 60FPS. Since the 1070 is just a little bit less powerful (if I'm reading the reviews right) than my 980s, I would wager on a similar performance, especially since you don't have the SLI issues.

GSync at 1080p seems pointless to me if you're running a high end card or two. At 1440p or higher with high refresh rates, it's definitely more useful, but I would personally not pay what they want for it.

Thank you. I need to read up some reviews which I have to admit I haven't done any research yet.

Great price for 1080p 144hz with g-sync

imo g-sync at 1080p is smart for the long term investment. As games get more and more demanding, maintaining high refresh rates will get harder and harder, and g-sync will cover the smootheness even as fps goes down over the years. This will happen faster with 1440p, but with 1080p this means the longevity of a GPU + G-Sync monitor is about as long as you could want it.

FWIW you can always run 1080p on the game with a 1440p monitor.
