27" 1440p or 34" Ultrawide 1080p?

lloydcars18 · 2 Sep 2017 at 20:44

Hey folks so i currently have the system in the description although will soon be upgrading to a Ryzen 7 1700,Gigabyte AX370 K7 Motherboard,16gb Trident Z RGB Ram and a 500gb Samsung NVME for good measure

Im hoping for the system to last the next sort of 5-7 years without upgrading

Im currently Rocking a Samsung Monitor which has the following specs 1680x1050 16:10 60hz and 5ms response time Im looking into either getting the iiyama GB2760QSU-B1 G-MASTER Red Eagle 1440p 144hz 1ms or the LG 34UC79G Ultrawide 1080p 144hz 1ms with the Discount code there both around the 390 pounds mark and was wondering which would be better for longevity/FPS/Simulation gaming i.e Destiny 2, COD WWII and Project cars 2?

I was looking at getting a Vega 56 or RX 580 depending on how the pricing is but the Middle of next Month.

Any help/Suggestions is greatly appreciated will be purchasing next Tuesday

Hey Folks so it has arrived safe and sound all up and running and its massive cant believe how big it is so worth the money has no dead pixels and an image below of the back-light bleed on full brightness never had a IPS panel before so is this an acceptable amount?

lloydcars18 · 6 Sep 2017 at 22:21

Ive put my brightness Down to 80 And it looks a bit better its definitely noticeable though but guessing il get you'st to it will upload another picture tomorrow

lloydcars18 · 7 Sep 2017 at 00:39

Need Help Guys cant get my Monitors Refresh rate above 100hz see Pictures for Details thought it was because i was using an older HDMI cable but have the one supplied now installed only have the OSD Software installed and my GPU Drivers are up to date.

One thing to note is i haven't installed Service pack 1 for Windows 7 yet dont know if that would affect it

lloydcars18 · 7 Sep 2017 at 15:12

@chris74 Says on the spec sheet it can run 144hz with HDMI wonder if @Daniel - LG can confirm and thanks for the game code btw

lloydcars18 · 7 Sep 2017 at 22:03

My Graphics card doesn't have a DP port will probably just have to wait till i get my RX VEGA 56 Next month.

lloydcars18 · 20 Oct 2017 at 16:44

True although no Single GPU can produce high enough frame rates at 4k to make 144hz useful
