Re: [H] 1440p or 4k for gaming?

2020-06-05 Thread Brian Weeden
i7-8700K
GTX 1080
Alienware 1900R 34.1", Curved Gaming Monitor

Runs pretty much all modern games (or at least the ones I choose to play)
at max settings. Yes, I'm limited to 1440p but I don't care because that
monitor is soo amazing.

[H] 1440p or 4k for gaming?

2020-06-05 Thread Christopher Fisk
What do you guys run for your gaming setups?  I'm currently on a ~5 year
old system (6700k & Geforce 970) and my daughter is looking to get a gaming
PC.  I'm considering giving her my current setup (She plays minecraft
mostly) and going with something new for myself.

I'm leaning heavily towards 1440p due to the price on good 4k gaming
monitors, then in the future once monitor pricing (hopefully) comes down I
can just add 4k to it.

Thoughts?
