I'm in the midst of a bit of a dilemma currently on deciding which path to take in upgrading my monitor. I live in Australia, and I've narrowed it down to two options based on price here:
I think you would be better off with a higher res/bigger screen if you only want to play casual games i.e. non competitive games such as CSGO, COD, Battlefield, etc. Competitive games would benefit from the higher refresh rate and lower response time (see something faster, kill something faster). Casual games will look great with the higher res/bigger screen even if it doesn't have G-SYNC but still will look good with the other monitor if you really want G-SYNC. Also consider if your graphics card could handle higher res.
Mmmm. I understand 2560x1080 is a bit harder to run than 1080p; If I'm trying to run ultra modded Skyrim with goodish (consistent 50+) fps, would I be better off just going with 1080? Running a 980.
