New monitor.

Is your main use gaming?

The 3070Ti will struggle to push new games at 4K 144hz. If stick to 1440P personally.

That Asus seems very expensive for what it is. Have you considered ultrawide?
 
Yeah it's mainly gaming I'm using this pc for, play a lot of MMOS but would like to play single player games etc.
I've not got a huge amount of space in my spare room for an ultrawide monitor tbh, any suggestions on other monitors?
 
If you're not playing reflex shooters, consider anything over 144Hz as waste of money unless you have enough money for sheeps to eat.
Especially when that Asus is simply expensive for 2560x1440 with competent 3840x2160 (4K) monitors being at same price level.

Gigabyte 28" M28U-EK 3840x2160 4K SSIPS 144Hz 1ms HDR400 A-Sync Widescreen LED Backlit Gaming Monito= £659.99
Gigabyte 32" M32U-EK 3840x2160 4K SS IPS 144Hz 1ms FreeSync/G-Sync KVM HDR400 Widescreen Gaming Moni= £698.99

Those Gigabytes are some of the most balanced gaming capable 4K monitors and actually available.
Well, actually in 32" size there's no real competition with current AU Optronics panel monitors having response times from half dozen years ago.
(even if those Innolux panels have issues with overdrive tuning)
For 27" there would be LG 27GP950 with better tuned response times/overdrive and wider colour gamut, but size is small for resolution needing close viewing distance and availability is bad.


As for gaming not the highest requirement games should run easily at good fps with some tweaking of settings.
High resolution/pixel density even allows lowering some settings from lower resolution/pixel density without visible negative effect.

Though in the most demanding games just small setting tweaks wouldn't get high fps.
Anyway scaling techniques are nowadays helpfull in that.

Yeah, i get what you mean, so basically the 3070ti would be adequate for gaming on 4k? i am wanting to give cyberpunk etc a go.
Thanks for the suggestions :)
 
CP2077 is definitely one of the heaviest games at least with things maxed.
But it also supports scaling, so with some setting tweaking playble fps should be possible.
At least with variable refresh rate monitor.


For 2560x1440 monitor I would consider £500 as absolute max price.

Few days ago this was discounted and IIRC £400:
MSI 27" MAG274QRF-QD 2560x1440 IPS Quantum Dot 165Hz 1ms FreeSync/G-Sync Widescreen LED Backlit Gami= £498.95
It has very good response times fully comparable to LG's Nano-IPS panels
But also well above normal contrast for IPS, unlike contrast from 15 years ago in same size/resolution LG's Nano-IPS panel. (4K Nano-IPS panel has normal contrast)
And colour gamut is one of the widest covering both AdobeRGB and DCI-P3.
MSI G273QF is cheaper model with no adjustments stand and semi-wide gamut panel.

Yeah, don't think I'd play it on max settings, just settings that were decent.
I'll have a look into the MSI monitor :) Thanks
