Who has this monitor?

Holdon Tight · 4 Jan 2015 at 17:46

Hi there, need to buy a new monitor to play fps and some other games.
I have a 680gpu with 4gb VRAM. (I think)
At the moment I have a hazro 30" 2560x1440 frames per sec isn't great so don't mind going back to 1080. (Glass panel is now cracked due to my 6 year old)
Like the look of the curved screen Samsung.
Any advice thoughts?
Budget £300-350 ish

Thanks

should be able to get decent fps at 1080p, id say it be worth going for a 144hz screen

much better then paying a premo for it being curved

make sure you have a Display Port

Using display port for hazro.
So a 144hz screen would be better?

well it would be a lot smoother, more the double the frame rate, and for your graphics card at that res it wont be too hard, as i see you have quite a big screen and if your looking for one the same sorta size

perfect for your budget

If you are struggling to get 60 fps at 1440p you won't have a chance of getting 144fps at 1080p.

Yeah looked at the 680 benchmarks didn't think it was that bad but if your playing any fps apart from cs it's worth getting a 970 with your money
