while in-game, press esc, go to system, settings, what is your graphics option? 1-10?

I’m using on single 1440p wqhd screen at 100hz, this will stress the GPU haha

sherrysim gd news! I was able to play wow at 40-60fps averaging at 50fps in-game and will go up to 100fps when idle/afk at isolated location with no/less players like class halls.

2080 seems quite strong 💪🏼 2080ti will be 20% stronger and 2070 will be 20% weaker

just choose based on budget! for 1080p a 580 or newer 590 will be ok at 5/10 settings

you reckon i can get the same fps as you whilst i have some show running on the other monitor?

shouldn’t be an issue, since web browser and youtube utilize low resources to function

i wouldn’t say get a 2080 tho, because it is like $1.3k? u.p. $1.49k

34 inches is slightly too big and induce eye fatigue faster than 27 inches, I believe my ideal size will be 24 inches :s13:

depends on the type of game u play, for first person shooters = higher fps, for mmorpg or rts game can go for lower fps

depends on the fps you need too, say if able to maintain >120fps on a 1440p why not?

1440p gaming at 120fps? 2080 or 2080ti

Nobody likes 4k?

4K at typical distance of 0.5~0.9m for desktop gaming not really worthwhile? Since the monitor can't be too big (about 24~27" max comfortable size), the pixel size for 4K on these monitor would make it no diff from a QHD to the typical eye if I'm not wrong.

Smartphone pixel densities are way higher and you can still tell the difference between 1080 and 1444 on smartphones... Heck even smartphones have 4k displays. But I think the gpu power required to run 4k displays for gaming makes it pointless. Maybe in 5 or 10 years time mid range GPUs like 1060/580 will be capable enough to run 4k (and hopefully... 4k monitors come down in price)

the average distance a person uses a phone vs that of a monitor is different, obviously the closer the screen, each pixel will appear larger and easier to see differences. That's why I mentioned distance and monitor size in my post.

1080ti enough to run x34p @ 120hz?

Change the 2 years old 10xx series to newly released 20xx series and you are good to go for another 2-3 years
