Need some help, new monitor.

[15[Span.]/JG51Costa]

Dear colleagues.

I delayed the purchase of a new monitor for the arrival of  Virtual Reality. But at this time is not sufficiently developed for air combat, so I decided to update my old Dell 24". So I ask for your opinion to help me to decide.

Which one do you think is the best option?

My PC:

i7-5820K @3.30GHz NVIDIA GTX970 16GB RAM W10 64bit

Many thanks.

P.S: I hope that with the implementation of Dx11 my Gtx970 its going to be enough powerfull to move 3440x1440 resolution.

Acer predator x34 - 100 Hz, G-sync, 3444x1440, curved.

Just to throw in a left field option...

 

for a similar price it may be possible to get a 50' 2nd gen 4K TV of decent repute

 

while it does not have the benefits of ultrawide and high refresh rate (60hz) there is something to be said for having such a large screen at 4k

 

I have not used a modern ultrawide monitor..but I know I personally would have huge issues going back to anything smaller now

Hi Costa. I bought my monitor and gtx 1080 at the same time. I decided to try my new monitor with my old 970 HOF first. The 970 stuggled. Framerates were very bad in all my games.

I put in the 1080 and it improved drastically. I suspect the greater Nvram is needed for the bigger res.

With the Hi res monitor you will get a Superb picture . BOS is fine but some of my other games slow right down even with the 1080.

To be honest, the 1080 gives me average performance with my new monitor. If I could have afforded it I should have got a Titan.

The Hi res monitor is VERY demanding !

Hope this helps mate . ~S~

Most reviewers don't use flight sims to review Hardware. Our Flight Sim world is so much bigger and more demanding so I treat all reviews as Minimum for us.

I have a ACER Z35 G-syn. Its a thing of beauty and BOS looks fantastic on it.

Is the older Titan a better card than the new 1080?

[15[Span.]/JG51Costa]

Thankyou very much for your help gents.

As I can see, I'll need a better GPU. Even on Dx11.

So the price range for the monitor has to be around 650€ as I have to spend aroud 800€ in a new videocard.

I think I will go for LG AS I prefer flat screen.

Thankyou very much again.

Nope. For the ultimate performance you can buy the new Titan X Pascal. But changes are that the new 1080 ti will be almost as fast. That means that the Third party Ti's will be faster than the current Titan. 

I want to upgrade as well, but i will wait for the new 1080 ti, that will come in January. I will buy a new monitor as well but i find it very difficult to make proper assessment about what to get. It should at least be a 4K monitor (28" or bigger). But i don't know if i want to pay extra for a IPS screen. It looks good, but the responserate is still lacking.

What do you mean with struggled? A bigger monitor doesn't mean the fps will go down unless you crank up the resolution. Or am i missing something?

I'm very happy with the LG 34UM88 but I did combine it with a 1080GTX - rock steady 60 fps.

 

I agonised between flat and curved and am very happy with flat.
