With a 980ti, I'd get a 1440p panel such as this one

That's a 25" Monitor, i already have a 24" Full 4k monitor, so it would affect my OCD really bad.

Mkay. yeah only saw the 980ti. Completely my fault, it would affect me too.

Anyways, I'd go with the [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] Skittle suggested.

Ok so which one should I go for?. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] or. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ? I heard BenQ are the best for gaming.

BenQ are a company advertised to make 'gaming' monitors, the majority of the ones they make are crap tbh, nth if you're looking at a TN monitor then it doesn't matter as much what one you buy. Personally I would get the AOC one, but like I said I would take an IPS panel over a 144Hz TN one.

So what is the difference between IPS and TN One? Sorry no idea about monitors...

IPS has a much higher colour depth, wider viewing angles and is more vibrant. Basically, the colours look much much better and more vibrant on IPS. I have the AOC IPS monitor I linked in front of me and a crappy TN panel next to it, you can really tell the difference. I would take IPS > 144Hz.

Skittle what are you on about you melon

So i am assuming the BenQ one isn't a IPS? it's TN?

There aren't many 144Hz IPS panels on the market and the ones that do exist cost substantially more. I wouldn't get any BenQ monitor tbh, the only one I'd consider would be the 144Hz one. The AOC i2369Vm is one of the best 1080p IPS panels you can get for its price.

I will be the one to chime in on the GSYNC opinion segment of this post as no one else is.

Essentially all GSYNC monitors do is have a refresh rate determined by a variable rate set by the video card. Now what this means is; whenever your frame rate goes above the refresh rate of your monitor -- Or rather it sends more frames than your monitor can display -- you get a tearing effect where a frame will get stuck for a few milliseconds. This is where VSYNC comes in, it locks the games frame rate to that of your monitors refresh rate to insure you get no screen tearing. However this adds input lag to your game. All GSYNC does is gives your the benefits of VSYNC (No screen tearing) however reduces the input lag and doesn't give you the unwanted spikes when your frame rate falls in certain games which VSYNC does. This is incredibly noticeable on Assassins Creed games on PC because Poobisoft ports are terrible as hell and if you have VSYNC on to get rid of tearing when you enter a city and your FPS drops even below 60 for a second it's going to lock it to 30FPS and kill you inside.

As far as it being worth it, honestly I wouldn't recommend it. A lot of games have a movement and input based on frame rate scenario where the higher frames you have the smoother all your inputs and movement will be, which is one of the reasons why VSYNC adds input lag.

It'd only ever be useful in singleplayer games in my opinion and even then I'd prefer having beautiful glorious high fps and deal with the occasional tearing.

Thanks for the comment on GSYNC!

And _Skittle so i should go for the Aoc instead of the BenQ one? Just that i see a lot of streamers use BenQ's instead of Aoc.
