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

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
