Thank you for a quick replay. I don't have the money for a new PC, so I will order another Gtx 680 today :-). I have Corsair 850 W power supply, do you think it will handle?
Also, what is the colour quality on the Asus rog swith? Do you know any good calibration settings for this monitor? Do you think that the new Acer 27 G-sync will be better? Thank you again for your help.

Screen refreshes 144 times per second(Hz).

No, you don't need 144 fps although that's what most aim for.

Faster refresh and more fps = better/smoother performance.

So for the poor explanation - not my strongest suit :)

Isn't 144 Hz (cycles per second) the same as 144 frames per second? :confused: So the graphics card would need to output at least 144 fps to match the screen's native refresh rate?

For all intents and purposes Hz is the same as FPS in basic terms. It's a measurement of a quantity of something per second.

Hz is cycles per second, FPS is frames rendered every second. The main difference is that Hz are typically evenly spaced out, whereas frames rendered aren't always.

You don't need 144FPS of course, but it's optimal.

The ROG Swift's TN panel will be worse for colours than an IPS, it's the way it is with TN unfortunately.

Also SLi 680s isn't really going to be optimal, their VRAM and memory bus/bandwidth hold it back.
 
Some games use more vram, you will just need to turn a few settings down. Most will be fine though for the short term anyway. Vram issue is blown way OTT.

So with graphic card are you recommend ?

It depends what you want. If you're set on a ROG swift, then it'll obviously have to be an nVidia card. I think anything above a 970 is obscenely priced compared to what you get for that money, though.

Does the Asus Rog swift have that bad colors? Is it better then another TN G-Sync monitors?

For some people, TN is TN and is completely avoided. I typically avoid TN panels as I just don't like them very much.

It's not just about VRAM, it's about memory bandwidth too. However it's certainly not blown way over the top. 2GB isn't enough any more high to maximum settings at anything over 1080 on a lot of recent games.

Never mind the memory bandwidth bottlenecks.
