i'll pick oled 1080p any day

What's your budget?

The thing you have to understand is, if one have to spend a lot for a 4k monitor, why not just spend a little more for 1440p at higher refresh rates? A higher refresh rate is a much more substantial upgrade over higher resolution.


I wouldn't mind a 1080p OLED @ 144hz + Gysnc. I'd jump on it.

Actually la, monitors and TV are called 4K UHD.

Native 4K is 4096 x 2160, that is correct but it's not 16:9 ratio, and not exact 4x Full HD.

So 4K UHD is the one that's 4x Full HD.

talking bout 1440p gsync
which is a good one/price/performance?

Gaming on my 4 year old Series 6 Samsung TV seems to be ok but the lag and the delay is very noticeable especially at fast moving scenes. Playing DS3, I performed a roll but still get caught because of the delayyyy! Contemplating on getting a monitor but thinking to upgrade my TV instead. Just waiting until they announce the retail price for the 1070.

only 4k i saw was on a 51'' HDTV becauz was considering whether to get 4k tv or not, whether any point for astro content Looked nice but i'm sure the demos were running 4k content.

so watching on 1440p 1080p stuff won't add more black bars will it?

i'm using a dell u2413 24'' GBR monitor. colors look great, though for gaming it lacks gsync so stuck at 60hz refresh using triple vsync buffering....

also my table top can't fit a bigger monitor, as well as the existing 24'' is plenty big enough for my vision... so i don't particularly feel the need for going up to 27'' and above.... also the other reason, 1440p required a more stronger card to run in ultra settings at native reso, but for pascal this is not an issue any longer. even a 980ti was pretty acceptable, but i did not hop on that bandwagon.




did not know this but does resolve some of my concerns going for higher reso...


this i did know. and was why i stuck to a reso closer to 1080p because of this very reason.


yeah i forgot this point. as far as i know 4k is capped at 60... compared to 1440p reso monitors that reach up to 144hz... if not mistaken

for a gamer they may prefer faster refresh.... i would anyway

here is a review of the 1070 that explores the question, should the bang for buck user skip over the 1080 and go for the 1070?

Haha well fkin said

I think 1070 will be spiritual successor 2 my 770 soon

For 27" monitor and at 30" viewing distance, going higher than 2560x1440 will not have any more benefit. The eyes will hardly see the pixels.

1440p is actually already a very optimal resolution. Larger screen will require the user to sit further, cancelling any benefit from increasing the resolution density.

1080 for 1080p is an overkill as it is, 1080 SLI...

Start from cheapest 1440p @ 144hz?

But then gtx 1070 can barely go over 60 fps at max setting

will gtx 1070 cost >rm2k in malaysia?

Got by % of GTX 1070 FE SRP vs GTX 1080 FE SRP, I'd say the GTX 1070 would be priced at around RM 2.2k.

ehhh it's like playing 720p games on 1080p screen.

Very simple.

You can watch 1080P content on 4K monitor. Whether you'll notice there's content degradation pretty much depends on the size of the 4K monitor and your viewing distance, plus the type of content you're watching.

For example if you're watching anime then you'll less likely to see content degradation than say a live-action movie.

The above example does not apply to 3D Animation like Zootopia, those really hold detail like live-action movie.

I just tried it a few days ago, watching the same content (should be 4K) on a 4K TV vs Full HD TV of the same size (around 60").

What I can tell you is that that 1080P content at 60" screen does appear less sharp BUT it's not something the inexperienced eye would notice, and not something you would notice without paying close attention to it.

with so many 1080 cards out during computex
are they maintanining the same price point ??/
any news of ETA to malayshaian shores ??

a more indepth review of the asus strix 1080 OC version
http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-...80-aura-rgb-oc/

At the moment 1070 or 1080 is rare. I want to get non foundation card, hopefully cheaper.
Right now, monitor is available for purchase.

OK. I am aiming for 1440p Gsync with 144hz. Think of getting Acer XB271HU, 27" can still fit my desk. It cost >RM3K,
rather expensive IMO, could probably buy a big TV. Hands already itchy...

IMO 4K monitors is just not there yet, with 60hz refresh rate. Currently I think, 1440p and 4K monitors is early adopters' market. Limited choices and probably next 2 years or so will drop price maybe to RM2k region.

Now I ponder 2 plans,

Plan A,
Buy XB271HU Monitor with GTX 1080 Estimate Cost RM6K++

Plan B,
Buy 24" (1080p Gsync 144hz) Monitor with GTX 1070 (or lower spec GPU). Estimate Cost RM4K

Choices, choices.

If you itchy now take plan B

Plan C:

Buy XB271HU Monitor and GTX1070
