Just purchased - Iiyama Prolite GB2788-B1

Just picked up this 27" Prolite with 144Hz.... and I won't be able to play with it for a few days

This will be driven via HDMI from an MSI GTX760 OC with a mild overclock for now. Old card, I know.

Anyone have any suggested config settings please ?

Well it's up and running and looking superb compared to my old HKC 2216 21" unit. Not surprisingly?

The MSI GeForce 760 card seems to have the driver capped to 120Hz in 1080p though, but with a DP connection the video in WoT is smooth and much more refined than before. Frame rate is up from around 60 to ~120.

I guess the next step is to upgrade the GPU. Any suggestion under £200 (GTX950/960?).

How is it having 1080p in a 27"?

Nice

The previous monitor wouldn't do it even but thinking back it must be around 7 years old.

The Iiyama is also Freesynch enabled so the other debate is whether to switch from Nvidia to Radeon which is?

Isn't that one Freesync? I'd be going for an RX480 then.

Cheers for the heads up. I'll look at that
