I sort of wished I bit the bullet and bought the Acer XB270HU during July last year when it was around RM24XX.

Given that I needed more screen estate I ended up buying a Philips 4K 40" Monitor instead. Would've bought the Acer as well if I knew what would transpire months later. whistling.gif

The prices now for 27" 1440p (Freesync or Gsync) monitors are freakin insane in Malaysia.

Yes, 27" 1440p is expensive over here but Malaysia pricing isn't much difference compare the US. Let's compare, Acer XB271HU it costs RM3199 with free headset over here. Amazon listed around USD780 (RM3134), no free headset.  I suppose this is still the early days for 2K/4K displays. I believe it will drop in the next few years. In fact GTX 1080 pricing, have a bigger difference over here.

I bought XB271HU, I must say I enjoy every minute of it. Simply awesome even with old GPU !  rclxm9.gif

I was pointing more towards the fact that our currency devalued so quickly(from mid to end of last year) and it became quite expensive because of that.

Never implied that the pricing in US became more expensive as well. sweat.gif

SLI mid range can be nice but only IF the game scales very well with it.

Generally it's not, because you get a mix of good ones, not so good ones and really bad ones.

As I always tell people - leave the SLI stuff only to the top range, not necessarily highest range but it has to be something that after SLI-ing be able to provide greater performance than a single highest end available.

SLI scaling always sucks with CPU limited games (i.e Fallout or Bethesda games in general, RTS games).

Hopefully DX12's Explicit Multi-GPU mode can catch on:
