27" monitors

[Ratfink]

I'm starting to think my next upgrade should be a 27" monitor to replace the 23" Samsung 1080p I currently use.

 

This one seems well regarded http://www1.euro.dell.com/uk/en/business/Peripherals/dell-u2713hm/pd.aspx?refid=dell-u2713hm&cs=ukbsdt1&s=bsd

but will my GTX 670 2GB be good enough to drive it with decent fps in DCS?

Absolutely! I use a 27" Viewsonic with a GTX650ti 2GB and it works great.

2560 x 1440 is the native resolution of that monitor.

Your 670 should be enough at medium settings.

You will enjoy the wider field of view and image in general.

I have a U2711 that I love. When it was on my flight box I was driving it with a GTX580 with good results, so you should do just fine.

I recommend the monitor I have(see sig). Same size as the dell and its 1440p. I would think its cheaper than the dell since I picked it up for $650(USD) a year ago. Probably cheaper now.

 

Can't speak to how it would run since our CPU and GPU configurations are completely different. But on my set up I run high and go from 50-60 fps depending on what is going on.

anyone out there with a 670 driving a 1440p? Does it perform ok?

What will you be using it for mostly ?

 

What are your needs

I've got the 144hz Asus VG278HE, all I'll say is definitely go for the higher resolution screen, mine is 1920x1080. As fast and smooth as this screen is the res is noticeably poor against my old 24" screen.

I have the same monitor... I like it.

hmm, thx for that as i was considering that one to and that was a worry of mine as i considered getting an Asus 278HE next to my 24 inch version (248QE)

 

I'll keep the 24 in that case. I sit pretty close to my screen anyway, i think 27 would be too big.

 

That ultrawide thing looks glorious, but probably IPS :_(

Interesting, never thought about 21:9 ratio. 34" is pretty massive so in my case an new gfx card would probably be in order
