144hz or 4k which one is better for gaming /v/? no wagecucks

Nobody can afford both. Even a 1080ti won't get you 144hz and 4k on games.

Winning

Depends on what games. I play a lot of games like CS:GO and Overwatch so I benefit from the 144hz way more than a higher resolution, so I bought a 144hz. If you play games that are slower paced and you don't really care about getting good frames, go for 4K.

>disable AA
>turn shadows to medium
congrats, your 1070 will run 4k at 144hz.

You can't get a 4K 144hz IPS gaming monitor yet.

So 2K 144hz IPS is the way to go.

>>381966084
Both, not wagecuck.

Depends on what you play. If you play competitive multiplayer games, then go with 144 Hz though I actually prefer 120. A high refresh rate is great for playing older games, too. If you play the newest AAA single-player games, then you will probably appreciate 4K more.

>>381966159
>even a 1080 Ti won't get you 144hz and 4k on games
it will in the only games that high refresh rates matter- esports, hell even a 1070 will.

>>381966084
144hz ultrawide.

especially those who suffers motion illness in fps games.

>>381966336
>wanted to go 1070 + 1440p
>didn't want to settle for <144hz too
>also couldn't handle TN panels
>the only 1440p 144hz IPS monitors were $900+
>settled for a 1060, 1080p, 2 monitor settup

I wish consoles would hurry up and make 2k+ an actual common display to sell

>no wagecucks who can afford both allowed in this thread
>being so NEET that you think wagecucks can afford that shit

if you're paid so poorly that you make a wage rather than a salary, you can't afford this shit. if you're paid enough to afford it, then you ought to be spending the money on shit like a new car or your baby's college fund.

4K is a meme, the tech bubble is gonna pop soon as companies will keep trying to push newer, "better" shit on us like 4K and VR even though consumers are content with the existing tech and the improvements are relatively minor considering the price.

144 Hz is beyond a meme, it has its own tier of retardedness

>>381966084
144Hz is meaningless with 5ms delay.

>>381966761
4k is not a meme. neither is VR.
144hz is almost a meme though


t. somebody who has all 3

>>381966947
What 4K 144hz monitor do you have?

1440p ISN'T 2K YOU FUCKS, IT'S UHD+
GET IT RIGHT

>>381966947
I don't like how people treat VR as a gimmick.
To me, VR is monitor that covers your entire field of vision and more. People need to treat it more as the next generation of monitor technology rather than as "virtual reality".

>>381967113
it's QHD (quad)

>>381966308
On runescape, maybe.

>>381967113
I'll just call it 2K. The QHD, UHD nomenclature is retarded.

>>381967163
it's either quhd or uhd+

>>381966947
>VR is not a meme
How, exactly, is it not a meme?

>>381966084
1440p ips

It's not like anyone is playing w3 at 120fps

>>381967138
It's not a monitor. It's two monitors at once. Two phones inches from your face.

I don't think so m8.

>>381966947
interest in VR is already petering out. maybe it'll stick next time around in 10 years, but the current vive/oculus/psvr shit wont catch on with mainstream audiences

>>381967113
UHD+ implies it goes beyond 4K, because UHD is accepted as a substitute for 4K now. FHD+ would make more sense.

TWO WHAT!?

>>381967228
On anything released in the last 6 months as well.

I got a 144hz monitor and I don't even notice the difference desu. Am I doing something wrong?

>>381967429
>its something you will never appreciate until you've played one for a few hours
Is there even anything to play with VR? Most of what I've seen is cheap garbage.

>>381967385
it won't. but custom maid 3d alone was worth the vive i bought for $999. being rich never feels so good.

>>381967423
it's actually WQHD

>>381967527
You probably didn't change the refresh settings. Windows doesn't do it automatically.

>>381967527
fuck how do I still forget about the filter

144hz 1440p

>>381967527
your eyes can't see past 24 fps
don't fall for the 60/120/144 fps meme

>>381967615
I did that already. I could just be blind Idk

>>381966084
I'm perfectly satisfied with 1080p 60fps

I mean, we can barely get there as it is.
Can we hold up a sec? Let hardware and software catch up to the CURRENT line of standard before thrusting something new on them?

>>381966084
They're both unnecessary jew shit.

<<381967683(You)
I kek'd.

>>381967429
>its something you will never appreciate until you've played one for a few hours

I'm too skeptical, for two reasons:

1.) I don't want a screen that close to my face
2.) Unless I had a completely immersive sound system surrounding me along with something to emulate movements it doesn't feel like "true" virtual reality, it feels like gluing a screen to my face and pretending I'm there when I'm not. I personally never felt like I wasn't immersed enough in games 10 years ago, just being involved in it is enough for me.

>>381966084
144hz is superior imo, 4k is a meme that needs to die. You're not gonna be playing the latest games at their max settings trying to reach 60 fps at 4k, and your fps will take a hit when you use external programs to increase improve the graphics beyond what the game can normally do.

>>381966219
>Downsample
>playing fullscreen, not borderless fullscreen to tab out and shitpost

>>381967734
And are you running through a DP2 cable or HDMI? HDMI doesn't do high frequencies.

>>381967537
there's actually like 2 shit i play on VR, one being custom maid 3d

and i don't play AAA either so no RE7 VR (is the VR patch even out for PC)

>>381967527
you won't notice it until you go back to 60hz

for honor looks fucking choppy on my 60hz compared to 144hz even with vsync on

>>381967810
>he plays in borderless
Enjoying your input lag I see.

My next display is gonna be a 144hz. After owning a (somewhat) nice 4K TV, I'm not that sold on it. I play too many shooters and racing games to care about muh extra pixels.

>>381967527
You are either blind or you didn't set it up properly

>>381967810
4k are for casual gamers, 144hz are for competitive gamers

>>381967734
if you don't play high speed games you won't really notice a difference immediately. try going back to 60 hz after a few months of 144hz

>>381967975
>144hz is for competitive
Funny enough, none of the best players use anything above 75hz.

>>381967790
>1.) I don't want a screen that close to my face
it's nothing like having a screen close to your face. my monitor is 35" 144hz ultrawide and i could watch it close to my face and it'd still be nothing like VR
you can actually see the depths and shit
>2.) Unless I had a completely immersive sound system surrounding me along with something to emulate movements it doesn't feel like "true" virtual reality,
believe it or not it is immersive even with normal 2ch speakers, never actually tried it with headphones though

>>381968051
ASSFAGGOTS need not apply.

>>381966084
I'm assuming this thread is about PC gaming mostly.

Well, I was having this discussion with my friend earlier and I was thinking, we can't really say 4k gaming is a thing. PS4 Pro is not true 4K and neither is Xbox One, and so long as they are just up-scaled versions of games available on the weaker earlier consoles I can't take them seriously as 4k.

144hz seems like it could make more of a difference for gaming because it actually improves your ability to play competitively. 4k stuff feels like dick waving about resolution, it's like when a camera manufacturer comes out with a body with a ton of megapixels, and it gimps things like shutter speed or sensitivity in low light. It's nice to have such high resolution but not always if it's costing you better graphics or frame rates.

>>381967823
DP2. I'm pretty sure it is working though because when I turn on vsync it caps to 144fps. The monitor has freesync too so that's cool.
>>381967859
>>381967991
Yeah I probably just need to test both of them at the same time

>>381968051
pros also shove their face right up to the screen and use their keyboards almost sideways and play on 400dpi

>>381967991
>if you don't play high speed games you won't really notice a difference immediately.
If your eyes are sensitive to frame rates you'll notice the difference as soon as it's on. If you can notice the difference between 30 and 60 you'll be able to notice the difference between 60 and 144 because the difference is even larger than the first jump. It's like setting your volume to 25% (this is 30 FPS), then doubling it to 50% volume (this is 60 FPS). Anyone can tell that 50% is louder. Then jump it to 100% volume (120 FPS). You'll still be able to tell that 100% is louder because humans recognize differences this large.We're still not at a refresh rate that actually hits unrecognizable levels.

>>381966084

A large amount of shit isn't even properly optimized for 4k resolution right now.

144hz refresh rate will still give you a very enjoyable experience if your card can run what you're playing at 2k resolution and relatively high settings.

4k isn't going to die but Apple is gearing up to push high refresh rate to the normies, it's going to go mainstream to the point of 120hz being standard in the next few years after everyone starts chasing them.

>>381968443
funnily enough it took me like a year until i actually play for honor on both 60hz/144hz monitors to notice the superiority of 144hz

>>381968443
240hz is basically unnoticable. take it from a quake autist.

He doesn't say it's unnoticeable. He explicitly says he can notice it. His point is that it doesn't improve his effectiveness in games, but it still improves how the game feels.

>>381966159
What about two of them?

Not worth it unless you have nowhere to put your cash.

>>381969484
dimishing returns and most games don't support SLI/Xfire, while others give microstuttering

>>381969079
i bought a 1080p lcd tv super early because i couldnt stand the high pitch noise those things make

it still lives to this day, 32" fullHD bought for like $1000

>>381966084
there's an acer and an asus with 1440p ips panel 144h-165hz g-sync... so one of those is the best overall for now since they have good image quality and fast refresh rates. this kind of thing didn't even exist two years ago. 4k is too high res to make use of 144hz on most games anyway, give it another couple years.
