Upgrade to a GTX980 ti or upgrade monitor?

[burno70]

I'm running a GTX970 and am thinking of going for the GTX980 ti - but, my monitor is an iiyama Prolite E220HDD 1080p.

Would I be better off upgrading the monitor to get the most of the better graphics card? And if so, any recommendations for less than £350, would love to try G-sync.

def get a new monitor! ... should be no other suggestion.

Heard great things about this monitor: BenQ BL3200PT 32"

Sorry, I should have mentioned in my first post that it may be an either or thing - the monitor or the GPU!

980ti will not give you any trouble at 1080p but ideally I would only purchase one in your situation if I was intending to update the monitor later. So I would suggest you get if possible a 144mhz 1080p. G-Sync would also be desirable.

970 is no slouch. Get a new monitor IMO.

Upgrade the monitor.

Pascal is in the next year or so, no point upgrading now imo!

new monitor - would be pointless getting such a powerful graphics card for a measly 1080p.
get a 1440p - should be fine with the 970.
