Is it worth upgrading from my AOC to a predator

GS1981 · 15 Oct 2017 at 12:31

Hi would you say a Acer predator z35 @ 2560x1080 @200hz (with gsync) would be a upgrade from my AOC U3577pqu @ 3440x1440 @60hz? (no gysync or freesync and not curved) the screen tearing down the middle on my AOC is driving me crazy and i cant max out all games with my GTX1080, both monitors are around the same size, my AOC is 34" and the Acer is 35", is it worth me paying the £750+ it goes for? i play a lot of shooters.

Also can the predator mentioned run at 3440x1440 via dsr (for desktop) or would it be a blurry mess?

IMO 1080 is to narrow at that Superwide size 1440p min if I wanted one.

Which would be better?, i am mainly a gamer but i watch a lot of videos and do a lot of Internet stuff, i am running a GTX 1080.

i have a 3440x1440 already which is nice but has awful screen tearing, no gsync and only 60hz, would the gsync and 100hz be a noticeable upgrade?

You already have a thread with near same topic, add to it to keep it tidy.

Threads merged.

it was a different question, i wanted to know which one to buy out of the z35 or the x34 with credit card waiting, people wont see that in the title and not reply...

If they see you making multiple threads with near same topic they will not reply IMO, mods seems to agree.

If they are AUO panels and have poor QA so do you want to play the "Panel Lottery"

For that kind of money I would wait on the new screens that are said to be here soon....

hz > resolution imo.

PPI

35" UW 1080p will look horrid.
29" UW 1080p is about right.

However vertical height on 29" UW is too small.

If you have a very powerful PC, there are some 3440x1440p G-Sync HDR 200hz monitors coming out -
ASUS PG35VQ and Acer X35

Best of both worlds, but for a very hefty price tag.

I prefer the one you already have personally.

Ultrawide needs to be 1440 at 34 inch in my opinion.
