Ok /g/ need you guys to give me a clear cut answer what you prefer and why. I own a 4k 60 hz monitor and regret it every day after trying 2k 144 hz. My friend who is autistic says 4k 60 is better. He thinks that 2k 144 hz is pointless.... Sigh
Tldr I own 4k 60 hz and tried 2k 144hz and it's 10 times better than 60 and so much more fluid. Also Gsync for either pick or free sync.
As stutter is removed at higher fps with variable refresh rate
60hz is way too slow, 100hz is bare minimum for fast action gameplay. Hell, even in windows there' a night and day difference.
>>53860642
Op here and this is not a gsync vs free sync thread keep that shit out of here from debate.
>inb4 paying for premium for gsync
Just talking about hz here
2k 144hz
higher hz>higher res
IMO
>>53860642
I told him BF4 campaign
Crysis 2
Crysis 3
A lot of games can run them
>>53860681
I can see having 4k res if you do photoshop/3d work, but for gaming/browsing it's a bad idea.
Winblows handles high res incredibly poorly, and if you use DPi scaling everything in the UI goes out of whack and looks fucking retarded.
Gaming wise, 2k is a nice res and doesn't requuire much AA to not have no jaggies, but the high refresh rate makes a difference smoothness wise. You won't ntoice 2k->4k in a game, but you will notice the smoothness of the framerate.
Once you play at a high refresh rate, going to a low one is jarring.
I have a korean 2795 ips, 2560x1440 and 100hz, love it.
>>53860642
>sigh....
>>53860749
Yeah I agree op here. 60 is trash desu after seeing anything over 60.... I have the XB280HK gsync is nice but 4k isn't worth it for clarity to fps
>>53860749
We talking about gaming keep in mind
>>53860793
I do understand 4k for VR though, since the screens are right in front of your eyeballs. Regular monitors aren't that close.
>>53860816
No vr... no photoshop... Just gaming and desktop use
>>53860831
Then yea, dump the 4k and get gsync/144/ips/2k.
>>53860642
What is your thought?
>144 hz is a meme he says..
I don't play games so I went with the 4K 60Hz.
I can't speak to 2k vs. 4k because the highest resolution monitor I've had is 1920x1200.
However, I did get a 144Hz Asus monitor and that thing is crazy smooth in comparison to 60Hz. For gaming, I can't recommend it enough. I currently play BF4 and Project Cars the most.
>that fag who's using quoting arrows outside email and 4chan
He's the autistic one right?
>tfw 2.5k 144hz
>>53860642
The image quality at 4K is too good for me to give up and it's quite smooth with FreeSync. 4K nearly completely eliminates the aliasing and sharpness issues I've been noticing for literally decades in a manner that's clearly superior to any AA algorithm I've seen.
I never had an issue with the smoothness of 60FPS with low frame time variance, still don't have an issue at 4K.
I'm don't have aspirations of being a top 1337 360 noscope gaymur though, so keep that in mind.
Also I've upgraded from 2560x1440, I've seen both in action. In fact I'm seeing both right now as I'm using my old screen as a secondary monitor.
a 75hz freesync panel is the best of all worlds with best price/performance ratio
>>53860642
Why do you faggots talk like you're posting on 4chan?
>>53860642
144Hz is honestly overkill, in all cases. The pluspoint is that it's an even multiple of 24, so we don't need to reclock.
That said, for just about every purpose 90Hz is a considerable improvement in terms of smoothness of motion.
I'd certainly take 1440p, 144Hz.
Why are we talking about 60Hz when most monitors can do 75Hz just fine? It might be moderately difficult to get past 60fps on high/ultra-high settings on 1080p but it's quite a bit harder tp push past 75fps.

>The pluspoint is that it's an even multiple of 24, so we don't need to reclock.
Unless you're watching 30 or 60FPS video. 144Hz really is retarded and has no real purpose besides pushing the marketing with even higher numbers. 120Hz makes much more sense, you're very unlikely to encounter video that would judder at 120Hz.
Which Linux DEs even have good support for hi-dpi resolutions like 4k?
I have always preferred higher visual fidelity to visual smoothness
I lock my FPS to the minimum that I see to keep my screen smooth without dips. I prefer 45, but can deal with 30 too.
I play Fallout 4 modded to shit in 4K with two GTX 970 and cap the FPS at 30. It's pretty choppy but at least it is relatively consistent.
Higher refresh rates and frames are a totally different path than the one I picked. I could have got a 120Hz 1440p monitor for 600 USD, but i went with a 4K 60Hz instead.
>>53861097
Downclock to 120?
But yeah, I agree, 144Hz is far too high. I'd rather see 90/94Hz monitors.
>>53861097
this, 120hz is a gift from god
fuck pal shit though
>>53861094
How?
>>53861094
It's fucking amazing how many retards can't tell that 2K (2048x1080) is to 1920x1080 what 4K (4096x2160) is to 3840x2160
Using 2K to refer to 2560x1440 is a clear indicator that you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.
>>53861016
Yeah he does that all the time... Idk why you guys changed him
>>53861130
>Downclock to 120?
Yes, obviously. All I'm saying is that 144Hz is a marketing ploy to suck out more money, while being generally inferior in practical use to 120Hz.
>>53861200
Definitely.
What is 2k
You wont run any game on 120+fps besides source games
You're a fucking manchild and autist, fuck off to /v/
>>53860874
What games does this fag play?
>>53860642
60hz = blind cuckold
>>53861220
Not everyone has gpu from Fucking 2000 you poor fag. A 770 can run 144 hz just fine with post processing off and aa off everything else ultra
>>53861220
>being this poor
>>53861244
That's an irrelevant question because you have no idea what hardware he's running. In fact it's completely irrelevant to talk about FPS without the context of the hardware the game is running on.
>>53861220
>mad poorshit
every time!
>>53861220
Wow what's your specs. Must suck to be on a build as old as your mother eh? M8
>>53861220
Someone is running Intel integrated I see kek
>>53861285
>Well op here....
He thinks I can't run past 100 fps in anything I have a 980 ti, got it for 600$ over night shipping from new egg no tax. Keep in mind this was like weeks after it came out so it was a steal. I'm sure a 980 ti can handle it just fine
>>53861285
Op here again he has a fury non x also. But he is on amd fx and struggles to get 60 fps in gta v for example and plays alot of settings on normal. Then again gta v isn't so amd friendly
>>53860749
>I have a korean 2795 ips, 2560x1440 and 100hz, love it.
What make/model is it?
Hold up. If 120hz is ok for movies why 144 isn't? they both can be divided by 24.
>>53861358
I run GTA V at 50-60FPS with FreeSync at 4K on 290X CF, tweaked some settings but mostly everything except MSAA and some advanced settings are maxed. GTA V runs fine on AMD GPUs, no idea about CPUs. It can be fairly CPU heavy so probably won't run too well.
>>53861444
30FPS video is a fairly common thing, especially when it comes to internet streaming. 120Hz is good for both 24FPS and 30FPS.
>>53861468
oh so it's cool for 24 frames but potentially shitty for 30 and 60?
>>53861071
24x6=144
24 48 72 96 120 144 168 192 216 240
only 120 and 240 are proper refresh rates
>>53861476
>potentially shitty for 30 and 60
Yes and not just potentially. 30/60FPS on a 144Hz screen is shitty for the same sort of reason that 24FPS is shitty on a 60Hz screen.
You want to display 30 frames in a second, but the monitor refreshes 144 times. 30 is not a divisor of 144, i.e. you cannot display each of the 30 frames for the same amount of time. Some video frames are going to be on-screen for a longer time than other video frames.
At 120Hz, each frame of a 24FPS video can be displayed for exactly 5 screen refreshes, each frame of 30FPS video for exactly 4 refreshes.
>>53861531
thanks. it all makes sense now

crossover 2795.
It comes with a matte coating, but i removed it so its glossy (i just like glossy).
Thread about it here:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1555354/official-crossover-2795-qhd-pwm-flicker-free-overclock-able-matte-1440p-ah-ips
I play CSGO. It's that simple. 144hz feels so much better. If I only consumed media then I'd make sure I had an ips panel, but considering almost nothing comes in 4k and I'd rather have higher framerates that higher def, I wouldn't game in 4k yet either with current hardware.
The new 1440p 144hz IPS panels look promising, but I'm not paying the $700 first adopter idiot tax.
>>53861607
This.
Buying into first gen 4k tech is retarded.
>>53861664
If everyone thought like you, where would we be?
Buying into first gen tech isn't retarded. It's only retarded if you're poor, like I assume you are.
>>53860642
4k is bit of a meme, in order to get FPS high enough to actually enjoy the game you need to disable a lot of AA, and even then keeping 60fps at 4k doesn't work unless you're running SLI or Crossfire, which in of itself also carries lots of issues.
I would only consider 2160p if you're planning on using a 40'' or larger panel, anything smaller and you may as well stick to a 1440p panel.
as for hertz you always want <75hz, 60 is right on the borderline of being fluid and being juddery
>>53861604
6ms response time, dropped
>>53861808
Okay
>>53860749
>You won't ntoice 2k->4k in a game
Depends on the game, in more realistic FPSes where the combat takes place at longer ranges, the additional resolution should make a huge difference.
>>53860749
>You won't ntoice 2k->4k
Yes you will, the difference is completely clear. You haven't actually seen them both IRL, have you?
>>53860679
The difference between 60hz and 144hz is so big just from moving the mouse cursor alone it's silky smooth.
>>53861664
4K isn't 1st gen anymore. 1st gen was 30Hz and MHL shit. You can now get FreeSync/GSync 4K IPS screens at the same sort of money some 2560x1440 panels go for.
Alright the game I play plays best at 125 fps should I get a 120 or 144 hz does it even matter?
>>53861220
