Hopefull the TN will be cheaper then the swift but IPS version i can see it having a premium on it

TheGentry · 3 Jan 2015 at 20:26

whats wrong with 27" i use 24 atm and 3 inches aint going to much different

TheGentry · 3 Jan 2015 at 20:47

anythin about 28+ for gaming seems silly to me, 4k, 120hz at 40" ull need 4x980s...

GSYNC will only run on on DP but if ur using it for next gen consoles it wouldnt matter anyway just gives you the option if needed without fiddling with wires all the time

Exactly my thoughts, this price is mental
Edit: Thanks PCM2 for explaining the reasons for this price.

acer havent announced prices shouldnt assume that cos one company put a premo on there monitor it will be the same, they will undercut swift anyway main thing

I think some people are mad because they thought "all monitors will have freesync by default" and then Acer drop the gsync bombshell instead

Nvidia sell the same amount of GPUs as AMD sells CPU and GPUs.... anyone with half a brain would put gsync on there monitor then freesync, nobody realised that since theres been hardly/if any freesync monitors

TheGentry · 4 Jan 2015 at 10:19

Seems the only worrying thing about this is the price, for top end gamers they can always look to get more GPU's to run 144hz solid

TheGentry · 4 Jan 2015 at 10:34

freesync will put pressure on Nvidia to bring out better graphics cards very soon, as gsync has mad a lot of people move to Nvidia now that freesync is coming if Nvidia brings out more top end GPUs even more people will move again

TheGentry · 4 Jan 2015 at 11:00

Nvidia will be looking to bring out 8gb Vram cards

TheGentry · 4 Jan 2015 at 12:24

Well a 4k gsync monitor from acer was 500 on realise so... 1440...144hz gsync should be the same or slightly more

TheGentry · 4 Jan 2015 at 13:22

Its stated it will be 1ms... i thought the same when i read it

TheGentry · 4 Jan 2015 at 14:28

Nvidia have already been putting gsync on top end monitors as if gamers who want top end performance need the best monitors to see it, so if you got the best monitor and its gsync aswell, your going to get the best Nvidia card?

And its going to undercut Swift no doubt

TheGentry · 4 Jan 2015 at 14:48

main reason there bringing this out is compete with the swift if its 500 or there about everyone will be gettin it
