Now have a 1080Ti - 1440p with GSync or 4k @ 60Hz?

Hi all

Didn't get a response to a previous question so I thought I would rephrase and try again.

Just received a 1080Ti and while my monitor is perfectly serviceable, its not going to tax the 1080Ti with 1080p @ 60Hz

Been reading this sub-forum quite a bit and narrowed it down to either an 1440p @144Hz with GSync like the Dell S2716DG or a 4K 60Hz like the BenQ PD3200U.

I'd like to pay around £5-600 for the monitor and it to last a few years, certainly until 4k @ 144hz is more sensibly priced.

I usually place strategy games like Total War: Warhammer or Starcraft 2 - I have a PS4 for things like Call of Duty and I'm rubbish at them anyway. Otherwise I need to be able to connect my work laptop to it when I'm working from home - I have a KVM switch but understand that I won't be able to use it for the screen anymore as it only handles resolutions up to 1920x1200.

I was thinking that 1440p with GSync would be a better option at the price point I want to pay, rather than a 4K screen with a lower refresh rate.

PS Yes, still using an overclocked 2500k as CPU but it'll be updated at some point in the next few months

Definitely 2560x1440 High refresh G-Sync. [keep in mind Total war: warhammer or any games that have bad drops will not do too well with gsync, so you'll either have to either lock fps to 60 or turn off gsync]

Do you mean the frame rate drop in battles with loads of units on screen? I would have thought that's the perfect time for gsync to do its magic!

Rip on some warhammer between emails and meetings. IT'S TIME TO UP YOUR WFH GAME, OP.

Id need to seriously up the budget as well!

Having had a good dig around this forum and various sites, I think I'm settled on GSync 1440p - I'll probably go for the Acer XB271HUA as a compromise on functionality / price / fits with my desk colour scheme!
