Well I still haven't gotten around to buying this, and I've just had an email alert from Camel, the Acer X34P is now £680 @ Amazon. For essentially the same monitor I can't really ignore that, can I?
Such is the process of PC upgrades! I will say though although I’ve had to drop some settings on most of my games my 1080 is still giving me acceptable FPS. Apex Legends I’ve capped at 100 and it mostly stays there but that’s not a hugely demanding game. BFV I dropped most settings from Ultra to very high and cant even see a difference. FPS is around 70-85 which works. Division 2 is a struggle to maintain 60 FPS but the G-Sync really helps out there so it plays smoothly. I get the impression D2 isn’t that well optimised as D1 ran far better.Well, the X34P has arrived and I've set it up. I'm happy with it for the price I paid. I have the usual bottom left back light bleed that most people get, but honestly I've tried a few games and its barely noticeable in use, you only see it during bleed tests. I was going to take a photo, but the camera on my phone makes it look 1000% worse than it is. The photo even shows significant bleed in the top right, which I'm just not seeing myself, it looks fine there. I think if I'd paid the full £1000 I might be tempted to send it back due to the bottom left, but I think I'd only get sent more of the same, or worse, so for the £680 I paid I'm going to hold onto it and play around with some of the settings.
The 1440p over my old 1080p ultrawide is very impressive though, massive improvement when gaming, although now my frames have dropped from 90 to around 60, which will inevitably lead to a new GPU at some point......
