Upgrade from old 4:3 pentium system... My current is that benq xl2411z. Brought nov 2015 with gtx 970

[attachmentid=7350003]

Using dell s2716dg, for me as a gamer , I want a quick response monitor , doesn't care ips or tn, because I'm not using for video edit or photoshop , the most part I like was the price rm2600 , thanks

1440p IPS monitor is not cheap though... if you looking at 27" , start from RM1400++ (korean brand) until RM3000 (dell, acer, asus)

Wah.... abit too pricey to upgrade for no good reason then. Need to wait abit more ....

I have been waiting for ages lol but price never go down

24inch 1080p now like rm500 but jump to 27inch 1440p cost rm2k..the price so much difference

yea, have to wait another year i guess.
summore to power any game on 1440p need at least gtx 1070 to get average 60+ fps -.-"

yea.. ikr
that is butt hurt.. hope 1440p become mainstream then the price will be reduce

Korean 1440p 27 inch cheapest can get at RM1.2K like that.

Or if you want cheaper, come korea holiday then carry monitor in your luggage
I did that before~

Good idea. Wont kena any tax?

If buy luxury bags also won't kena tax, cheap monitor why kena tax o

Guys i upgraded to gtx 1070. But game i usually play like tw3 now can up to 90fps on my 1080p. But like ppl say, games like that no need high framerate la. But what i feel the different its more stable frm my old gtx 970 (50fps) and lower usage and temp. Next gonna try on fallout4 and some cod farcry bf to feel the difference.

Hey... if use 970 also can get 50fps... pretty good also right? Now I am tempted to get 27 inch 1440p... was worried as I am using 970 also....

Was using Dell U2715H with EVGA GTX970 FTW+, not a good experience, not recommend to get it with GTX970. Unless you tune down your graphic settings.

can elaborate further? as i am also thinking of getting the dell 27inch... 50+fps should be ok right? or the fps is really bad? if medium settings ok? cannot put ultra high only right?

really depends.. different ppl different eyes.. now my eyes need more than 60hz already.. yea even in mmo moba..

Didn't try the settings with a lot of games yet, i mean 1440p and GTX 970, so far played MechWarrior Online which using CryEngine 3, and what i heard its heavily dependent on CPU, which i dont have a good one to pair with (i5 3550). FPS around 30 to 70+, heavy gunfight will be around 30+ i guess. Really really heavy gunfight, with missiles, lasers, autocannon etc, 20+ fps...

Tested DOOM, which to my surprise, performance is good with ultra setting, guess its a optimized game.

Played the division as well, framerate around 25 -40+ fps, not a pleasant experience, sweat. lower down graphic didnt help much, but still there is improvement. Wouldnt recommend you to upgrade to 1440p with GTX970.

thanks...this is good info... most likely i will upgrade to 1070 also but next year la...haha...

hey, you are probably the best person i should talk to now....how's U2715H? you use for gaming, any issue you've seen or basically overall it is smooth for gaming also?

Thanks.

Actually u can set the resolution to 1920x1080p instead of 1440p when gaming that will improve the fps i believe. I myself also using this monitor paired with Gtx980Ti so far still can achieved more than 60fps (1440p/VSync off) in most of the games in the market currently.

For Gtx1070 it should be no problem since it has similar performance as Gtx980Ti.

I just discovered DSR function where can virtually set res up to 4k in my 1080p monitor. But it came with smoothness problem. So if i tune down res to 1080p in 1440p or 4k monitor, does it have similar problem?

Overall, erm, not very satisfied, i guess this is the pc master race mind, haha. I used to set high-ultra graphic settings, so far not very smooth, depends on game, when there is not much going on, its ok, which is like 40 fps and above, once it get intense, then it is noticeable that 970 cant catch up, not like very bad, but once it get noticeable, then you will frustrate dy. Played below game so far:

1. MechWarrior Online (play this mainly, once it get intense, will feel the lag, but not that bad, still enjoyable, ultra settings, not much improvement with high, so i go with ultra)
2. The Division - hovering around 25++ to 50fps, okok to me. regret to buy it, game not nice. haha
3. Mortal Kombat - set to ultra, fps not that nice, but playable.
4. Havent tested Project Cars yet, cuz too intense. Stressed playing that.
5. DOOM - The BEST game so far, played it without trouble with ultra settings on 1440p, so touched... @@

Suggest you to wait next year as planned, might as well i upgrade my pc also with new CPU and GPU together with you.

Nice one, liked to have that 980Ti to complement with 1440p. Not sure if you also tempted with those g-sync monitors, so tempting to get those ultra wide monitor like x34 predator after using this U2715H.

Both of you guys specs totally owned me. Hope to have CPU like both of you.

Thanks... I am also curious if with 1070 will the gaming experience become smooth for your dell monitor... I am sure to upgrade to 1070 at least but for monitor still kinda undecided... if go for Acer predator 27 inch that will be like rm3.2k....
