xbox one x will it support 1440p ? as need new monitor for both

[bigjonnyauk]

hi guys

my lad is looking into getting a new monitor , he currentley has a dell 24 inch 1080p ultra edge which has been great .

he noow has a 980ti with a 6600 skylake and enjoys pc gaming but he also loves to play xbox and will be upgrading his xbox to a one x but both use the same monitor

the problem is he only needs maybe 27 inch monitor and is keen to go with a gsync one but we are wondering if the xbox one x will support 1440p or will it just do 1080p or downscale from 4k or would there be a standalone option for 1440p (2560x1440)

whats the best thing to do and can anyone recommend a monitor within a reasonable price please .

thanks

oh i didnt realise that at all that the one x will be freesync

so basically he will have to get rid of his 980ti and buy a amd card (will this be fine with his skylake cpu) and then get a 1440p freesync monitor

yeah at worse he can still play his x1 at 1080p on his dell and still game ok with his current set up
