Hello all, seeing as christmas finally arrived I was able to get my hands on the asus pb278q I got 
- have to say that its been a major improvement, going from a 26" HD-ready tv to a WHQD monitor.
One of the first things I did was to change my wallpaper to a HD quality one, to show off the resolution - warning in advanced, image is a bit big -
Anyways - straight out of the box its going great, but as I said, compared to my previous screen I always was going to be, although Ive been looking at some setting changes to improve quality aswell.
Playing some games - Diablo 3, first mission of Bf3, and then the in-game benchmarking that you get in Dirt 3 and Dirt: showdown just to see what improvement I have and the image quality, from this I noticed a few things, apart from my framerate dropping my GPU temps have increased somewhat - after gaming mid to high 50's consistanly - the gpu is obv. more stressd now with.
Now back to framerate - obv. I cant run all games at absolute max settings, but what Ive been wondering (from my readings lol) is that now I have a higher res. monitor I no longer need the same level of AA as before, if I could run it at max AA I would but somethings gotta give as sleeping dogs fps was under 30, so what in your opinion is the best ratio of AA to preformance, where AA is on but not impacting the overall preformance?
Sleeping dogs was the worst framerate btw, all other games have had far better - and actually playable - framerates
