Pointless, the human eye can only see 60ghz….
I lock my eyes at 30fps to get that extra cinematic day-to-day feel.
Will this 60gigglehurts monitor manage that okay or I need a more expensive one?I see I needed to add more sarcasm to my comment. I've got a 165hz monitor. I'm a believer!
wakie was so in their own little elitist world that they were unaware that according to the most recent steam hardware survery 66% of all monitors surveyed were 1080p resolution, but only about 20% of people had decent enough (GTX 1060 and above) GPUs to actually drive the games at a decent enough framerate at anything above lowest settings.
Seriously.. if you have a 1080p monitor go spend $300+ on a decent video card and you'll extend the gaming life of your desktop another few years. A PC is not a console, it can and should have components upgraded every year or two. It'll make using it a lot more pleasant experience.

Straight up no. That's ridiculous.
you service your car, you upgrade your phone.. if you want to play the newest AAA titles at ultra resolution then $300 every 3 years isn't much. Sell the old GPU and it costs even less to upgrade. I'm still using my 8 year old i5-2500K CPU (yes a second gen Intel!) with 16GB RAM, SSD and an RTX 2060 (which I bought in Aus for $420 from an Amazon AU sale in July). Each component mentioned was an upgrade path from when I first bought the PC. Games at 1080p ultra quite nicely and will most likely last me for another few years.
But yes, your reply also shows why 20% of gamers use potato GPUs and run games at low settings.
$300 every 3 years isn't much
A new motherboard costs that much or more. Then you have to also swap out the RAM which these days is another $200 or so.
Sell the old GPU and it costs even less to upgrade
After 3 years the average GPU is worth a couple hundred at best.
i5-2500K CPU (yes a second gen Intel!)
You think the 2500K is Intel's second gen?
But yes, your reply also shows why 20% of gamers use potato GPUs and run games at low settings.
Not because the average GPU price has gone up in the past two decades? Not because the crypto boom screwed the market for a good 2-3 years and made prices skyrocket and stock to plummet?

re: new motherboard costing that much or more
- You totally miss the point of upgrading the base system don't you? why would you upgrade the motherboard if you're not upgrading the CPU?re: selling the old GPU and it costing less to upgrade, and your reply - after 3 years the average GPU is worth a couple hundred at best.
- DUH!! So then that couple of hundred REDUCES the cost of upgrading to the newer GPU - that's the ENTIRE POINT (second point missed).re: You think the 2500K is Intel's Second gen?
- sigh… of course I'm aware of the earlier processors, I was around well before the 8088 was released. Intel themselves refer to the Sandy Bridge as their Second Gen - hence the '2' in the name.. current gen is 9th generation and guess what? That is why it has the 9 in the naming structure. Here's some reading - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_microprocessors#64-bit_processors:Intel_64%E2%80%93_Sandy_Bridge_/_Ivy_Bridge_microarchitectureOh and I believe that is third point missed, so game, set and match.
The entire history of my PC upgrade history, yes I spent about $300 per year because it's my hobby and I enjoy gaming at high resolution with high details set. I don't drink and I don't smoke so less than $7 a week is my 'relaxation' / throw away money:
2011 - built new PC, cannot find initial cost details
2012 - $??? - upgrade AMD 6950 to AMD 7850 (about 20% faster performance)
2013 - $??? - upgrade RAM from 4GB to 16GB (2x 8GB sticks)
2014 - $??? - 240GB SSD installed for O/S
2015 - $289 - upgrade AMD 7850 to AMD 7970 (again about 20% faster performance, I was out of pocket $130 after selling AMD 7850 for $150)
2016 - $313 - upgrade AMD 7970 to nVidia GTX 1060 6GB (about 30% faster performance (specifically for Fallout 4), I gave the AMD 7970 to a mate)
2017 - $148 - motherboard died, replaced it as could not afford full CPU, motherboard and RAM upgrade cost at that time
2018 - $80? - PSU died, replaced with 450W
2019 - $420 - upgrade nvidia GTX 1060 6GB to nvidia RTX 2060 (my most expensive upgrade ever.. the RTX 2060 cost me $420 from Amazon AU in July 2019)
2020 - ????Note that until the GPU upgrades in 2016 and 2019, every PC upgrade I made sure was under $300 - as then I could claim tax depreciation in 1 year for the percentage of work related activity done on my PC.
I'll probably continue to use my old setup for general email and stuff for a while, as it has a lot of my files stored on it, but I've saved and bought the parts for a brand new AMD Ryzen 3700X based system and the nVidia RTX 2060 GPU will be going to that. The new system will be exclusively for gaming and video / photo editing and it cost me about $1700 for a beast of a system.
The old i5-2500K desktop will probably have the old AMD R9 280 GPU from my daughter's computer installed in it, and I'll upgrade her to the GTX 1060 6GB.
For those interested - the AMD Ryzen system cost me $1339 for the following:
199 Samsung 1TB EVO 860 SSD
79 Cougar ATX M330-G case
199 Corsair RM850 850W PSU
569 AMD Ryzen 3700X CPU
289 ASUS Prime X570-P motherboard
339 32GB Corsair DDR4-3200 RGB RAM1674 Total
But I bought it all from an online ebay store during their 20% discount sale, so it cost me $1339 + $15 delivery for everything. Also I can claim a percentage of 1 year depreciation for all components except the CPU.
I'll be re-using my 1080p monitor but I can already see my upgrade path for the future:
2020 - either upgrade to 1440p monitor or nVidia 3060 or equivalent GPU
2021 - upgrade whichever part wasn't upgraded above
What makes me elitist? The fact that I'm part of the 33% that has moved on from 1080p?
Stop buying el cheapo monitors and upgrade your video card.
@wakie
What makes me elitist?
Your attitude from the initial comment you made.
Stop buying el cheapo monitors and upgrade your video card.
I agree with at least the end part of that comment. I know too many people using sub-standard GPUs and then complaining about how their games look and play (too slow) like crap.
looks dope damn sadly double monitor won't fit on my standing desk rip
Purchased one of these, a bit smaller than i expected but it works great with my RTX 2060!
Real shame this thing doesn't seem to have VESA mounting. Deal breaker for me.
Holy shit, that refresh rate.
