Nice rig, looking for a 4K monitor?

[mikeatadm]

Thanks! I have looked at all kinds. I'm not really looking for anything in particular, I would like a good monitor to make the games I play really look great,

[HeyYou]

Yeah, you want a nice 4K monitor then, you certainly have the hardware to justify it.

 

Where are you located? (country)

With a 4K monitor you can't really get ultra 60fps in every game with the 1080ti

 

A good 1440p monitor might be a better fit for the 1080

 

You can run 4K with a 1080 if you turn down the quality settings though, but that is all your choice.

I'm in USA. I'm not trying to be funny or anything but what does this even mean "

FPS is Frames per second. Usually, the more, the better. Except in Beth games, where going over 60fps makes physics go insane. (walk into a room, and all the loose items literally explode around the room.....)

 

1440 P refers to the monitors resolution. Full HD is considered 1920 by 1080 (1080P). Your vid card can do that without any trouble whatsoever, on pretty much every game out there. The higher the native resolution of the monitor, (what it really wants to run at...) the higher the price. :D

 

So, question becomes, how large of a monitor would you like, and how high of resolution would you like? What games you play also makes a difference, for beth games, in my opinion, anything over 30fps is eminently playable. If you do first person shooters, the higher, the better.

Thanks for your replies. If I understand what you've said correctly either one of these would work for me(I only play RPG games)

I'm leaning toward the ASUS PB277Q

Either one of those would be perfect. :) BenQ makes some high quality stuff, as does ASUS. I think you will be please no matter which you chose.

Would suggest a 1440p monitor. Modded skyrim and fallout 4 can be VERY demanding, and I'll assume you will be modding them since you're here. I speak from experience, using a 1060 6gb here, expecting to be able to play any game at max settings 60fps. But oh boy I underestimated how demanding mods can be. With countless graphical improvement mods for both games, skyrim especially, I can barely hit 30fps in areas such as riverwood with the mods and ENB im using. If frame rate do not bother you, would suggest going for a 4k monitor, as it will be able to fully utilize ur gpu and future gpus if u do upgrade.
