Hello all,
I'm sure this question has popped up numerous times, but maybe mine is slightly different.
Basically, I am an avid gamer, but I am looking towards increasing screen real estate to be able to work better as well (Coding websites, apps and a bit of photoshop)
Pretty much I'm looking for all-round stuff.
I'm currently rocking an Iiyama 27" GB2773HS, 144 Hz, 1920x1080 display over displayport.
PC specs:
Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 3 Mobo,
16 GB DDR3 1600 Mhz RAM,
2x GTX 970 4 GB
i7 4790k @ 4.4 Ghz.
I have been looking at multiple things. I get the feeling a single monitor is a better solution, however I am a little curious towards the performance as I don't have extremely good GFX cards.
So .. Do I look for a 1440p/1080p second monitor? Or do you think a 4k/Ultra Wide Screen monitor is a valid solution as well? I've been thinking, researching, but I just can't seem to find a conclusion in all this.
Any help to decide would be much appreciated.
If the conclusion is: May wanna upgrade. That is an option soon, but I wanna hear you guys out first!
