I'm trying to figure out if I should upgrade next my monitor or video card. I know I need both but I'm trying to figure out what would yield more returns by itself.
Current System: i7 4770k Asus Maximus VI Hero motherboard 16gb Corsair multiple SSD GTX 770 HP w2558 monitor (25.3" 1920x1200 @ 3MS w/ up to 85hz) So my thoughts are either upgrading to a 1070 card or grabbing either an Acer Predator XB271HU 27" monitor (27" 2560x1440 @ 4ms w/ 144hz) or the Asus equivalent. Which do you guys think would make more of an immediate difference? |

Yeah unfortunately we are trying to have a baby right now so I gotta choose one or the other. I think Ill probably go with the Monitor and wait to see the next gen cards and the new AMD stuff. I keep monitors a long time so the high price bothers me less. This HP is over 9 years old and still works perfect.

Also just ordered an Asus ROG PG278Q monitor (2560x1440, 144Hz, 1ms). G-Sync sounds like a dream (bar the price premium - wtf?), so I'm looking forward to trying that out. TL;DR: Huge step up from Y50 laptop and 2012 iMac |
