Thought this would be an excellent place to ask this question as there seems to be so many varying opinions on the web on what's best.
I have the option to add to a new system I'm building, but due to space limitations and only capable of connecting a single screen, I wanted to gauge the opinions of the good people here on RD.
So my question is, what would be a better combo of GPU/Monitor if shall we say every graphical setting was turned up to maximum in games in general.
2560x1440 60hz monitor with an r9 290x pushing it, given the extra ram on board for the higher resolution
or
1920x1080 144hz monitor with a GTX 780ti less onboard ram for the lower resolution
Is the 144hz preferred over the extra real estate you get on a higher res screen, that in theory would run at a lower refresh rate due to the extra work needed from the gpu?
Many thanks in advance for any thoughts.
