    Default Monitor to work alongside a 980 TI

    As thread suggests, I currently have a 1080 TV 32in and need a new monitor to truly show the cards power.
    Any suggestions that work alongside. It is an EVGA 980 TI ACX 2.0 card running alongside a I7 5820K

    Or perhaps, the monitor is fine? I'm more about FPS than heart defining graphics.

    Depends, a lot of people will say, there really isn't anything "overkill" at the moment for 1080p.
    A lot of people are fine with a 60hz/60fps experience, others aren't. A lot of people feel 60fps should by what you aim for, while others feel it is a "minimum" to meet for PC gaming. Others prefer higher pixel-density found in 1440p/UHD/4K setups, while others prefer ground-breaking graphics.

    Using 1080p as a standard; 1080p @ 120hz is more demanding to run than 1440p @ 60hz on average.

    So we have three things we get to choose from, but can really only have 2 (without throwing insane amounts of money around); Resolution | Frame-rate | Graphics


    Personally I prefer resolution and frame-rate over graphics to an extent. As I have a BenQ XL2720Z which can output at a maximum of 1080p @ 144hz, I prefer to use the extra headroom I can while gaming to get a higher frame-rate at the "standard" 1080p.



    Granted this is all subjective opinion on my part, and might vary from individual to individual. This logic is also mainly formed around single-card gaming, as SLI/Crossfire setups can start to have the best of all 3 categories, depending on how much you're throwing at it.

    It really depends if you are going to mostly game or mostly do other things. If your only use of the PC is to game the 144hz monitors are where its at. Although the color reproduction is sub-par on the TN panels. You can get a 1440p monitor with 144+hz and be golden for gaming, or go with a 4k UHD monitor for picture quality. Or one of each.

    a 980Ti would work really well with the Asus ROG Swift PG278Q. It has Gsync + 4K + 144hz. Which is every Nvidia gamer's wet dream.

    Minus the 4K bit ;)

    The PG278Q has a max (native) resolution of 2560 x 1440, so that's only 2K capable.

    The PG27AQ will do 4K (3840 x 2160 max native resolution) AND is G-Sync capable, but has a max refresh rate of 60hz. 4K maxes out at 60hz on everything, period. It's perfect for high-end TVs since about 99.999% of people never notice anything over 60hz / 60 FPS (with that .001% being us gamers).

    Currently, even a GTX Titan would struggle to push 4K at 60hz and maintain 60 FPS for a solid experience. I've seen benchmarks that show GTX Titans in an SLI config still struggling to hit 100 FPS consistently in that type of configuration.

    We're a ways out from 4K at 120hz or higher as a solid gaming experience. Granted, yes, 4K at 60hz and a consistent 60 FPS with the PG27AQ and G-Sync would still most likely be a nice gaming experience, but 60hz is what's keeping people away from it. I'm sure we'll see major changes once Pascal launches, however, and I'm betting that's what nVIDIA is going to be using as one of their selling points (and is probably already working with display manufacturers on)..."4K gaming at 120 / 144hz" :)

    ^ These type of monitors are highly recommended for the 980ti
