Hi guys, just want to know if this monitor is good for gaming. Does anyone using this? Googled it but it has no actual customer review, mostly paid (i think). If you guys know anything abt, do let me know ! smile.gif

Are you using AMD FreeSync compatible GPU? If yes then the additional FreeSync feature will benefit you.

Im using R9 270. Does it supports freesync? What if im not using an AMD GPU? May you explain the difference? smile.gif thankss
*
Nope, R9 270 doesn't support FreeSync.

FreeSync helps smoothen the display and remove the screen tearing etc.

If you buy a FreeSync monitor and pair it with Nvidia GPU or an AMD GPU that doesn't support FreeSync, it will still work like a normal monitor, you just cannot take advantage of the main purpose of the monitor. Just go with another monitor since your GPU is not FreeSync compatible.

Need some suggestion pls, budget RM 2.5k mainly use for gaming and hoping to last for 5 years, prefer intel, nvidia if possible

Including monitor?

5 years is hard to guarantee, but if you have enough tolerance (when your system is getting outdated, maybe in 4th or 5th years) then it should be fine.

[Budget] RM3000 MAX (income tax limit)

[Purpose] hardcore gaming, game like The Divison, Ark:Survival Evolved

[Hardwares that will be re-use] monitor, speaker, keyboard and mouse will reuse. Will reuse power supply of 500W, cooler master cooling kit, tower as well.

Preferably GPU that can support 3 monitors like those used in racing game \_/

Knowing Polaris is in horizon, what build i can get in the meantime while i wait for it to come? Anyone know the price range? I'm thinking maybe I can get a GPU that can run this 2 games on optimal/playable no lag setting before i bankrupt myself for Polaris cards.

thank you.

I need to know the exact model of your current PSU.

Spanning across 3 monitors requires a powerful GPU as the resolution will be bumped by 3 times (assume you use 3 FHD monitors), your budget can mostly fit a GTX960/R9 380 (current gen) so you need to tune down the settings by a lot to maintain a playable frame rate.

If i remember correct mine should be Cooler Master Elite V2 550W.(Please do intro one if you see fit)

I dont have preference for Intel or AMD system if i can get extra juice out for my game performance and graphic.

Sorry the 3 monitors is optional, not necessary to full screen on all 3 for gaming. Good to have options(have 3 different brand monitor with various size) i like to stream youtube/netflix on 1 side and gaming on another.

Ok, if you can tolerate with low settings then you can save the money and use the iGPU that comes with the CPU to play those mentioned games, if cannot then you can go for a cheap GTX750Ti (~RM 500), but bear in mind the performance difference between iGPU (HD 530) and GTX750Ti is not not that significant only, GTX750Ti is around 30% faster (depend on games).

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 815
Gigabyte B150M-D3H (D4) - RM 403
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 133
Zotac GTX750Ti 2GB GDDR5 Single Fan - RM 489
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215

Total: RM 2055 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

I heard that income tax rebate on PC purchase requires full set (including case & PSU), I am not 100% sure on this, but you can check this yourself, just an advice for you.

Rumors suggest that AMD is targeting mid end market, so I guess the price of Polaris should be around 1k - 1.8k if it is true, but it is just an estimation afterall.

[Games & softwares that use frequently] CS:GO, Dota 2 and newer release games like Batman Arkham Knight, Witcher 3 etc.

[Personal preferences] Monitor with 144hz refresh rate, Windows 10 64bit, maybe SSD to load things faster if budget allows

High graphics settings is very hard to guarantee with this specs because the 144Hz monitor has already taken a large sum of your budget, so I can only fit the lowest end i3 + GTX960 with the rest of the budget.

*
RAM and mobo can keep, any mobo is good enough for gaming, those so-called gaming grade mobo do not contribute to frame rate.

Just change the CPU to i5 6500, don't get 6400 because it is almost similar with 6402P except with a faster iGPU only.

If you need 4 RAM slots then change to B150 chipset.

If really want to keep below 3.5k, you can downgrade the CPU to i5 6400.

Nvidia Pascal and AMD Polaris are coming soon, if you can wait then please hold on on buying any current gen GPU.

is the Nvidia Pascal only available for the newest GTX 1080 and 1070 only ?
also, I need to get a wifi adapter for the pc to connect to wifi right ?
*
Currently Nvidia only launched Pascal based GTX1080 and 1070, 1060/1080Ti to follow soon, most likely in Q4 if they follow the same release schedule last year.

GTX1070 is probably going to cost you at least 1.8k here, so AMD Polaris is the another hope now since AMD said they are going to focus on mainstream GPU instead of high end GPU, I guess they are targeting to release Polaris 10 card at "mainstream" price (1k - 1.5k).

16gb RAM
128gb SSD + 2tb HDD
2 Samsung 24" monitor

how much would it cost? (excluding mouse and keyboard), any tweak to the above is welcomed if there's cheaper components that are more worth (performance wise)
*
GTX1070 hasn't launched here yet so we still don't know what will be the price, but it is estimated to be at least 1.8k.

The raw components listed by you will cost you around 6k, not including mobo, PSU and casing yet.

You listed 6700K so I assume you gonna overclock, so adding a Z170 mobo + a decent PSU and casing, it would be around 7k+/-.

BenQ GW2470H is having a much thinner bezel which is more suitable for dual monitors setup.

*
If don't want overclock, then just take the non-K i7 (6700) + B150/H170 + 16GB value RAM, you can remove the aftermarket CPU cooler too, if want to save money then you can go for i5, usually i5 and i7 perform neck to neck in latest games unless the game you play is very CPU demanding.

If speed is a concern, you have to choose Seagate Barracuda.

In mainstream HDD war, it's basically WD Blue's 5400 RPM vs Seagate Barracuda's 7200 RPM with the later one being the clear winner.
