SC2 kinda sucks at 144hz as you get low fps, but it still looks way smoother; on the other hand, CS at 300 fps and 144hz is another game and is such a pleasure to play compared to 60 hz :o

Sc2 is terrible for 144hz for several reasons

60fps in stressful moments on overclocked Haswell is a thing, but with the motion quality of sc2, that 60fps actually feels like ~35-40fps - it's nowhere near solid 144.

You can tell the difference between 180-200fps and 300fps in the sc2 engine with a 144hz monitor, blind test, because the frametime pacing is so bad. With perfect pacing, there would be no benefit over 144fps@144hz - many games need 150, 160fps for you to see no noticable gains from higher framerates, but sc2/heroes you need way, way more. At least 1.5x refresh rate (90 on 60hz, 216 on 144)

That being said, it's AWESOME for blizzard games because they (WoW, sc2/heroes, probably diablo and others) decouple mouse input from the framerate of the game, so your mouse will ALWAYS have the latency, smoothness and snappyness of 144hz. However that's only like, 2% of your screen. It's very important, but i honestly didn't notice it until i played games that lacked that feature. A huge majority of my games, as well as desktop use, benefit a lot from increasing refresh rate by 2.4x.

If i could choose between 240hz 1080p or 144hz 1440p, i'd still probably go with 1080, because i can't imagine those performance gains stopping, even if latency would only drop by a few milliseconds

Hey, back again, lol. So for some reason i can get the BenQ XL2420Z for the same price as the XL2411Z. (i have 2 screens using non displayport so i would have to buy an active adapter for the XL2411Z. I assume i should get the XL2420Z?

Wait, i just checked again and the XL2411Z is 165 GBP, weird!

just purchased the XL2411Z for 165 quid, bargain!

That's a crazy price, the ~£222 is on a few sites so it must have been price dropped quite a bit but £165? :0

That's £110 less than i paid for an arguably worse monitor in the last year or so. I forgot exactly when i bought it

So i have to get an active adapter for this. I have the HD 7950 which has 2 displayports, a hdmi port and a DVI port. Can you guys link me a active adapter on amazon.co.uk that would allow me to have 3 screens at once? (the 7950 can only have up to 2 ports used by a non DP). Thanks for all your help!

Something I just thought about. Follow up from previous discussion about the rog swift. When I play games, I usually have my main display copied onto my 1080p tv, will this still be possible if I change the resolution on my monitor? From what I recall the monitors will default to the lower of the two resolutions, which would kind of make my choice of a 1440p monitor pointless.

Removed the second part of my question because my tv is 120hz so I don't have to worry about that matching

Yes AFAIK but a few concerns would be 1440p not scaling down great to 1080p (so your swift would either be stretched and kinda blurry, or ~43.5% of the screen would be black bars, if you were running it at 1080p) and i think the swift has only a single displayport input if that's relevant at all

That shouldn't be a problem as I run the tv from the video card and don't use any of the display ports on my card yet

Hi, i need some help. If i get this adapter:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-1920x1200-Display-Adapter-Converter/dp/B009YCE11E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417208319&sr=8-1&keywords=HDMI to mini displayport active adapter

Will i be able to use a 144hz screen and 2 other monitors on my 7950? (baring in mind that the other 2 are using non DP connections)

It should work. That's the most common usage of an active DP adapter.

Hey guys was wondering if someone could help me out real quick. I have a GTX760 for my gpu and im looking to get a new monitor today. The two deals I have found but not sure if they are good prices or not are:

1)
http://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-VX2252MH-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00EZSUWFG/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1417199674&sr=1-11&tag=tealiq-20

2)
http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-Gaming-Monitor-RL2455HM-24-Inch/dp/B007HSKSMI/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1417199674&sr=1-6


If either of those are good gaming monitors for under 200 usd and think they are compatible with my gtx760 that would be great.

EDIT: meant 24inch for first one not 22inch
JD, need I say more? :D
