** NEW LG MONITORS - INCLUDING 2 EXCLUSIVE TO OCUK!!! **

I have;
i7 2600k (4.3ghz)
Vega 56 (950/1k)
16gb ddr3 ram

Currently game at 1080p on 22”

Would my system be good enough to step up to this monitor and resolution?
Or would I be better to upgrade to Ryzen 3?
I’m hoping that the Vega 56 is good enough to run at 1440p as have only owned this a few months.

Just need to work out where to put the money as I’m told 1440p is a nice upgrade from 1080p. Or would the fact jumping from 22 to 27 negate the effect?
I sit at my PC desk in my chair so around 2 foot away.

Thanks in advance

Youll be just fine, the higher you go in resolution the more GPU bound games become, of course, there are exceptions. There are games like AC that love cores as well. My advice get your monitor you'll find the most enjoyment from that, then in the meantime save towards something like a 3600x if you're on a budget. I find 27 inch to be the perfect size for peripheral vision, I didn't like 32" and I found 24" too small, for me 27" is perfect. Don't forget you can enable freesync on this.

Edit: forgot to add Vega 56 is plenty capable of running games @1440P don't sweat it there either

it isn't the same thing as being gsync tho. they want you to think it is, but it isn't.

So you still get variable refresh, just over a slightly smaller but still adequate range of frequencies...

You can't push to 165hz, when I'm totally happy with 144hz...

And you don't get backlight strobing so no ULMB, which you shouldn't use anyway unless your rig is consistently pushing more frames than the refresh rate of the screen with no drops...

I think I can live without that stuff for £200...

Eveer heard of g-sync mate. In the PG there is a thing called: G-sync module, and as we know the GL doesent have it. Thats why it's cheap = inferior product ;)

I do wonder how many people could tell the difference in a blind test between the module and no module in a typical game. Its not like there is much difference in the variable refresh rate.

There isn't any, had the Acer XB271HK then switched to the LG Freesync UW and couldn't tell a thing.

except you can overclock the gsycn panels higher, remember the lg850 that's on preorder here was originally 160hz until it dropped the gsync module.

absolute rubbish
 
Thing is unless your have quite a powerful GPU your not going to be getting a constant 165 fps anyway right at max settings? Then again if you got the dosh for a PG then you might as well get a top tier card.
Even though they are ridiculously expensive for what they are. (Thanks miners) >.>

Ever heard of reading the rest of a forum thread before posting mate? Yes it doesn't have the g-sync module, but I agree with Uaon, utter rubbish, it still does the most important part of g-sync which is variable refresh...

I'm coming from the land of 60hz... I'm sure 144hz will do me just fine. I don't need 160hz...

Same... Don't give a crap about 16hz/21hz more than 144hz..... 60hz to 144hz is the already the major upgrade. Can't imagine there's much noticeable difference playing with 144hz to 160/165hz.


They've took the money, so now it's a waiting game. *bites nails frantically*
 
I dont care about 165hz myself. Allways use my PG at 144hz, and of course cap it at 141hz. But I do care about VRR + OV together. You only get that from g-sync matey ;)
