What monitor for GTX 1080/1070?

What monitor would be best for each GPU?

4k 60Hz..?

I'm looking for something good for gaming, already have a 24" 1080p 144Hz screen for 'competitive' games, looking for something that's a bit better for 'cinematic' games (so decent colours/blacks, 60Hz refresh rate is fine, low response time though cos I hate motion blur).

Something like these?
£500 4k gsync https://www.overclockers.co.uk/acer...descreen-led-monitor-black-red-mo-097-ac.html
£300 4k non g-sync https://www.overclockers.co.uk/aoc-...g-widescreen-led-monitor-black-mo-044-ao.html

Consider ultrawides if 'cinematic' is really part of your wants.

Also, the new 1080 still will not be enough be enough to do 4k gaming proper justice at high/max settings on recent and imminent titles, even when 'only' pushing 60Hz. 1080Ti might be, but that's some way off yet...

I'm not too fussed about ultra wide / curved screens, happy with a bog standard 16:9 format screen. Not really looking to spend over £500.

I'm also not too fussed about running the newest super demanding games at 4k 60Hz. Just stuff like Dark Souls 3 and Blizzard games. Would a 1080/1070 be able to handle that? Or better to wait longer for more powerful cards to make the jump up to 4k..?

Must say, you don't really seem to be the target audience for the 1080... it's an enthusiast card designed to do the things you don't seem that bothered about. Save your pennies and go with the 1070 and one of the 27" IPS G-Sync monitors. You'll be happy.

What is the 1080 designed for then, if not 4k?

Are you saying the 1070 would be powerful enough to get 60Hz at 4k for the type of games I play?

If so, then yea no point wasting money on the 1080 ^^
