What acer predator monitor to buy? Or alternatives?

[Shadynasty]

Need some help figuring out what gaming monitor to get either the 27" 1080p 4ms curved acer predator z271 or the 24" 1440p 1ms acer predator xb241yu. They are only a 30 dollars price difference. I play a lot of fps and rpg's. looking for a monitor in the 5-600 dollar range My current build is i5 4690k gtx 980ti 16 gigs of ram is the core of my build.

The 980ti will play 1440p pretty well; here is a benchmark showing it getting 70+ fps on BF1 on ultra at 1440p. It performs about on par with the 1070, getting edged out ever so slightly. Personally at 27 inches I would opt for 1440p. 24 could go 1080 or 1440--not sure how much better 1440p would look at that size but maybe someone else who has experience could comment.

So a 27" 1080p monitor is a no go IMO, and your GPU can handle a 1440p monitor--I'd take the xb241yu. Not that the 4ms vs 1ms response time will be noticeable but the 24 inch one is theoretically faster for your FPS needs.

Yeah I see your point on the 24" guess I see the 27" curved and my mouth watered a little bit lol. But I think I'll go with the 24" thank you.

I've eyeballed this one and if you can handle 4k 60hz but most people don't wanna give up their 144hz monitors

Now if you've got the dough and horsepower this is the one to get 4k at 144hz but be prepared for the price tag. Not sure when it's getting released

I wish I had thever money for something like that but right now my budget it about 600 but I was looking and found a Dell 27" 144hz g sync and 1ms for less then 500. Can't beat that.
