PC PC Gamers - Whatcha playin?

Ehhh $350 for a 4K display sounds sus, a shitty 4K still costs more than an excellent 1440. For 4K the best ones generally are the ROG ones (also technically Asus), and if you're going with a 9070 then you don't need G-Sync just FreeSync support.

I would say if you can tank the cost for a 4K at the price point of the ROG options then go for it, otherwise go 1440. I use a *lot* of displays in my day-to-day and every single one of the 4K displays that are <$1k are shit. That's why I still happily use a 1440 at home.
Yeah Asus has 1440 p i think 360 hz refresh rate monitor. It is very expensive. Theres BenQ 1440p monitor as well that is pretty good. I don't even bother trying 4k. I don't think my hardware could handle it currently. I'm actually cool with 1080p. But I'm going to try switch to 1440 when I stop draining all my bank accounts on dumb crap.
 
yeah BenQ is pretty good too, they don't have as many bells n whistles but the core features are solid.

it's not that big a gap from 1080 to 1440 so GPUs marketed as 1080 cards can mostly handle it, at worse you can keep the render resolution at 1080 and upscale to 1440
 
I played DayZ for a few months back in oh gosh I dunno 2015 maybe. I'm guessing it's changed a bit since then.
Only been playing it for 6 months, but I used to watch gameplay videos of DayZ back then, from what I saw then it's not really the same now, but sometimes, on some servers, it is a little like "the old days"

I kind of thought that was the case with the cheaper 4k displays; it was an asus tuf . Last night I ended up just getting a decent 1440 180 hz asus rog for $255.
