Tempted to move from a ROG SWift to 4K gsync

How does your Rig handle 4K?
going back would like a bigger screen size?

Im tempted my by the Acer 4K 28" but think it might be small for 4K.

Rig
5930K
32GB
2x 980s

i know the 980s might struggle but, currently just playing WoW & BF4, bit of Witcher 3. will be upgrading to Pascal.

well
Here is a list of Monitors i have at the moment

ROG Swift 27" - Don't find it that Sharp at all. irts very clear but not GOD thats crisp!

DELL 2913WM - Not sharp at all but wide angle is nice/pain in the bum.

SAMSUNG SA950D 27" 120hz panel - is pretty good, 1080p though

DELL 21" x2 1080 - This thing is sharp as heel & love it. 21" 1080p is awesome.

SAMSUNG 30STPLUS - 30" 1600p - love this thing. 30" is a bit large at first but its great size specially the 1600p but i did have to move my head side to side to see everything.

Im heavily tempted by the ROG Swift 27" 4K, After maths that's 43% more pixels in the same space. it might give me the same Sharp feeling the 1080p does.

would even match my 1440p too, be a shame to waste a second screen as a rog swift 144hz though

well the new bunch of acer monitors got me thinking, i wonder if any other manufacturer will release a 27-30" 4K gsync.

wondering if it would be worth waiting, currently pre-orders the new Swifts 4K, im not bothered about 60hz ive been testing 60hz it wouldnt bother me to much & got little chance of 120fps at 4K atm
i don't want an acer with all the quality issues i'm hearing

but benq/Dell could release a 4K 30" with gsync soon, downside is could not run 3. (as they looked different to my swift.

whats your thoughts?

I considered 4K, though 60Hz monitors really puts me off.

The difference between 60hz and 144hz is just immense.

Perhaps if you're not playing competitive games, 60hz is ok, though even in relaxed games such as Witcher 3, the faster refresh rate really can be noticed.
1440p @ 144HZ is the sweet spot atm, imo

see i swapped back from 144hz to 60hz for testing & their not much difference... feels a little smoother but not ground breaking.

also considered 3440x1400 but ive had 2560x1080 and annoyanbce when games dont support it is very off putting.

so i tested 4K using DSR. (ok think it was 3460x2036) had to turn off off gsync & SLI for it to work. but

Text,
On Steam overlays Easily to read slighty small but not much different than than i had before on my 1600p 30"

Remember this is a single 980

Rocket League Constant 60FPS Maxed

Bioshock Inifite 45-60fps Maxed

Witcher 3. Ultra 22fps. High 32fps,

WOW 4K Maxed (No AA) 45-60FPS

we all know Witcher is not going to get 60fps 4K maxed on any single gpu. Dont Think even 2 could do it. Maybe 3 depending on scaling.

But even if a get an extra 22fps, thats 54fps on Witcher 4K high, not somthing thats great joy to me but maybe some Medium may help.

Is 4K hand to run, yes. Are light games ok?, appears so.

from this, the ONLY things im worried about is:
ASUS PG27AQ quality issues at launch
How more often i going to HAVE to upgrade my cards
going to have to be constantly using SLI, Profile issues.
