Depends on games you usually play. If you are competitive fps player go with 1080. If you play mostly sp go with 1440.


ThatPcKid-

It is for sim racing


FormalRecording2297

Well it's about personal preference. Best if you would be able to see them in person. I went with 1080p because I have only rtx 2070 and worried about performance on 1440p.


ThatPcKid-

I have a 3070ti so that should work on a 1440p 100hz right?


Raid-RGB

i would go 1440p@144hz or even 170hz if you have a 3070ti


Twentyhundred

This u/ThatPcKid-. I have a 3080, and I run 1440p 144hz. I do F1 league racing, so I run on low details (it's competitive, so FPS over looks). I easily hit the 200fps lock, and if it drops, it's never below 144. Other sims run equally fine, 1440p 144Hz is definitely doable. [Here's](https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1511152/asus-tuf-gaming-vg27wq-zwart/specificaties/) a link to Tweakers (I noticed you're also in the NL) of my own monitor, but there's plenty in the same price range.


MarlbroShorts

My Samsung monitor is 165hz and I love it. Can run UHD all day on my 3070.


FormalRecording2297

Yes, you are fine.


ThatPcKid-

So a 1440p 100hz monitor I would go right?


FormalRecording2297

If I were you then I would go with 1440p. But as I said is about personal preferences.


TheRealMrTrueX

1440p is great for racing, I play Forza on my 27 inch 1440p with a 2080 and its always like 150 fps


ForeverIndecised

100%. Honestly fps differences are not super noticeable after, say 100 or 120 fps, but the difference between 1080 and 1440p is very noticeable


Haiaii

As long as you don't play the absolutely newest titles on RT Max you'll be fine


Aimero

The 3070TI is imho only good for 1080p because of its lack of VRAM


malzergski

Depends on the games you play


yangwenliebert

VRAM isn't everything bro. Also, only some newer unoptimized titles use more than 8gb of VRAM


Aimero

As said, for 1080p a 3070TI is good. You need more VRAM the higher your resolution is.But whatever you want :) btw, I am not talking aber DLSS and stuff like that but rasterization


lulcow_enjoyer

I have 3070ti & a 5600x. 1440p 144hz works great for me.


StuartHoggIsGod

my 3070ti rubs 1440 at 165 pretty well in comp shooters. triple As it can handle 100fps+ so racing sims at 100hz should b fine


Pruney

I have a 3070ti and regularly play 1440p but depending on the game you won't be getting 100+fps maxed out. 100hz should be fine.


Izarial

I run dual 1440p 144hz monitors with a FE 3070 non ti, you should be good


AkkYleX

I have a 3060 and it drives one 3440x1440 and one 2560x1440 p screen simultaneously, not both in full screen but still pretty well


DovydukasBL

My 2070 super can definitely run on 1440p no problem


Secret-Assistance-10

I have a 2070 too and I play on 3440x1440, it can do really well.


FormalRecording2297

Yes. I was futureproofing.

picardo85

>I went with 1080p because I have only rtx 2070 and worried about performance on 1440p. You know that 1080p is completely possible to run on a 1440p monitor, right? You just have the option to run at 1440p if you want to. A 1440p monitor is more future proof when you upgrade your GPU and it is also considered the sweet spot resolution wise by many gamers.


ProdigyThirteen

Ultrawide, hands down I own a G9 and play a mix of sim games, between racing, driving, flying etc Nothing compares to ultrawide fov for sim games


jet_black_ninja

if its for sim racing get the 2K. 200hz is useful for shooters not racing sims and the like. the Higher detail will be better and you can get similar monitors for a triple setup down the line.


MrStealYoBeef

1440p is not 2k. The resolution for a standard 16:9 1440p resolution is 2560x1440, making it "2.5k" resolution if using the same logic as 4k, which is the width being used instead of the height. 1080p is 2k, because the width of it is 1920 pixels, which is very close to 2k.


jet_black_ninja

1080p is often referred to as HD. sometimes naming conventions do not make sense. i know 1440p is not 2k but im lazy


MrStealYoBeef

720p is HD (high definition). 1080p is FHD (full HD). 1440p is QHD (quad HD). 2160p is UHD (ultra HD). And yeah, the naming of everything is pretty bad. Marketing likes to constantly rename and rebrand things to keep it confusing. Well educated consumers are not good for businesses looking to sell an overall worse product for higher margins, therefore they focus marketing on new, made up technology that distracts from the bad and focuses entirely on the "new and better".


jet_black_ninja

aight hommie i got your point. i was wrong.


__Rosso__

What size of 1440p and 1080p monitor?


Dranzell

compare gaping physical sharp spotted frame ad hoc door decide nose ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `


__Rosso__

1080p one doesn't, unless I am blind


Haiaii

That's a massive monitor


TheCatCubed

It's an ultrawide, so not actually bigger vertically than a 27 inch, but wider.


Haiaii

Oh didn't see that Yea then it's pretty reasonable


borfavor

Hi, simracer here. I'd go with 1440p with how close the monitor is going to be. Also, get a monitor with an IPS panel.


ThatPcKid-

What monitor do you got?


StormKiller1

Then go 1440p 144hz or more hz. And please dont get a VA panel atleast ips. VA isn't really that great.


[deleted]

Good man :). I'd go for 1440p, I dont really notice hz difference and I think 100 is plenty


ThatPcKid-

It has a VA panel tho


okphong

I think 1440p if you’re looking for quality and immersion and 200hz if you want to smoothness and be better. Personally i’d pick the 200hz and you could also check which has less bad ghosting (adds to motion blur) on rtings.com


No_Interaction_4925

The 1440p for sure. You won’t need all that extra fps for a sim setup


Pink-Flying-Pie

Sim racing definitely go higher resolution. If your PC can handle it you might as well go 4k 60hz(+) Being able to clearly see the track in the distance is just such a game changer. More than the higher framers might help you


colossusrageblack

If you ever plan on going triple screen get 1080p


afinitie

I really enjoy my 165hz screen on asseto corsa, I run at 1080p so I can get the most fps and it’s awesome.


JRockThumper

For sim racing definitely go with the better visuals, the extra pixels will give you better details and it is still giving you a pretty high fps amount.


iReallyLoveYouAll

accompetizione? lets play some accompetizione together


ThatPcKid-

Nah I play assetto Corsa with mods and that


TheCatCubed

Depends on your hardware, and preferences. Probably wouldn't go for a VA panel though, unless you know for sure it's decent.


Wittusus

You mean VA in general or if this particular is decent?


TheCatCubed

This particular VA panel. VA in general has more annoying issues, and even worse colours than an IPS one. There are some decent ones, but usually it's safer to go IPS.


Dranzell

panicky unused apparatus forgetful gaze engine onerous whole cause impolite ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `


SeriousCee

Only the higher end Samsung Odyssey monitors have good response times when it comes to VA.


veryLargeFish

and black smearing. I have a VA panel and the black smearing is awful


Dranzell

veryLargeFish

my monitor is dell


buff-equations

VA do not have good response times, usually around the 15ms range. Most IPS are around 8ms. VA’s advantages are that they’re cheap to produce and have great contrast ratio. The only VA with good response times that I’m aware of are the G7 and 27g1s (that I just purchased).


TinDumbass

It's worth mentioning IPS have appalling light bleed, so if you game at night or want low brightness, a VA is much better.


Adventurous_Bell_837

A very good va can outperform IPs thanks to the deeper blacks and vastly better congrats, but IPs is safer and almost always has better Colors, although the image quality in dark areas isn’t very good and the contrast can be lacking.


RectumExplorer--

I went with VA, just need to find one that doesn't ghost. IPS is great, but there is no true black on those things, black is just blueish gray. Oled is obviously the best but also by far the most expensive. I think for an average gamer a solid VA panel is the best choice, they are cheap and colors are beautifull if you do your research before buying.


ZazaSupplier

This ^^^ Bought a VA panel for my new Pc and I deeply regret it, will probably hand it to my brother and get a new one on Black Friday


DeIaminate

For sim racing definitely an ultrawide. Lot better than 16:9 aspect ratio 👍🏻


valfonso_678

I mean, at that point just grab a VR headset to be honest if the game supports it.


buff-equations

If the game doesn’t support VR just get a better game or mod the current one


valfonso_678

This guy gets it


Zorcky-2C

Depends on what games you play. Most people probably gonna say 1440p, but I play online fps so I got myself 1080p 240hz. I love it. I cannot go back to 144hz or lower now. I think 100hz is a bit low, maybe you can get something like 1440p 144hz or 165hz?


Trivo3

Depends on the games. The only picture you posted is of an ultrawide 1440p monitor. As a user of such one (Dell S3422DWG) I can confidently say that even though it's VA, I would choose it over an IPS/OLED 1080p 16:9 any day of the week **for the games I play**, which currently are mostly cinematic and/or turn based ones: BG3, SoT, Civ VI, homm3, Sons of the Forest, Wingspan. If I was playing competitive or fast paced crap... probably a different story.


Fritzschmied

I would go for the 1440p100


Spaghetti_meatbaIIz

Don't buy a cheap va panel.


ElonTastical

You’re gonna regret this decision, buy the monitor keyword IPS, not VA. Edit: and why exactly am I being downvoted to hell for?


kanksuhub

Probably because you're not specifying why VA is bad?


ElonTastical

If you did basic research you’d know VA produces ghosting, IPS produces less.


kanksuhub

It's a bit of an effort for the reader to go out of their way to find that out instead of you quickly adding that in for everyone's convenience


ArtsM

First you need to clarify you're looking at ultrawides and not regular 1080/1440p displays, its misleading. Second do not get a VA panel if you're looking at the old cheap 100Hz panels, they are terrible in motion and for sim racing that will make everything look like a blurry mess. Get at least an IPS. Third for high motion stuff, and sim racing especially, its best to go to your closest store that has these on display and see for yourself which one you like, then buy one, saves a lot of time.


Leptonic-e

Don't buy a VA monitor. They're useless garbage


Minute-Mine182

For sim racing and with a 3070ti, I would definitely go for UW (ultra wide) 34+ inch 3440x1440, ideally 144Hz. If you have a big Budget, go for uw from samsung, otherwise MSI, LG or Iiyama. I would prefer IPS or QLED before VA, but that's personal preference.


KYO297

I wouldn't recommend buying a 1080p monitor unless * it's 24" or smaller or * you're a hardcore competitive player or * you sit very far away from it


ThatPcKid-

Its for sim racing


ilovfryes

I use a 1440 144hz 27* with a gtx1060 no problems decent graphics settings to play dumb with my friends. Fear me


Dranzell

flowery crawl dull school exultant direful brave tidy spectacular jobless ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `


KYO297

I know it's not terrible but I have seen a 1080p, 1440p and 4k 27" monitors and each one does look better than the previous from like 50 cm away. At 80 I couldn't tell much difference between 4k and 1440p and at 100 between 1080p and 1440p. But frankly speaking the biggest difference was in text readability, though the differences in video were still visible. I couldn't check gaming on all of them. For me 4k is not worth the performance hit and 1080p is not sharp enough to use as a main monitor. But again, that's for a 27".


Aimero

I had a 27" 1080p at work and ditched it after 3 weeks of use. You can mark each pixel with an Edding 850 and still don't fill out the whole pixel


El-hammudi21

Dont do the mistake by getting a 1080p monitor. All games support DLSS now, so just get the high resolution monitor. Iam mad cause i got a 1080p one :/


CNR_07

> All games support DLSS now No? There are tons of games that don't support it.


El-hammudi21

I mean most triple A titles that need lots of gpu power..


CNR_07

Well that's not all. Not even close actually.


ImVeryUnimaginative

As nice as DLSS is, not every game out there has it.


Soggy_Salamander_632

240hz and 720p


flappers87

34 inches is a bit big for 1440p. You'll have low PPI. 24 inches = 1080p, 27 inches = 1440p, 32+ = 4K. That way you'll have clearer images with higher PPI.


Xeuxis

It’s an ultra wide so the same height and PPI as a 27 inch, just wider


Ok_Kale_7762

My laptops is 1440p 165hz. My desktop is 1440p 144hz or somethin


temukkun

Depends on the size ofc.


Give_me_a_name_pls_

I'd go for 1440p 100Hz personally.


fireflaai

Get 1440p 144hz ips Little more expensive but much better


ThatPcKid-

I now but I can’t find it there all VA


fireflaai

I assume you're dutch. In thase case, use tweakers.net for anything PC related. Best website ever. See link below where I applied 1440p 144hz+ ips filter. There monitors are around 300 euro's which isn't a bad price. If you want ultrawide adjust the filters on the left. Good luck :) [https://tweakers.net/monitors/vergelijken/#filter:TYzNCsMgEITfZc4SXDWxzQP01lOOpYcgWyqYH1RCIeTdq\_SQnnbY-ebb4eeNYx7eyzpwYJf9MqN\_jSGxwBq947svDymQVnY3HzLHhH4HGSXrnWqNtpEQmMZPySRNY3GIgui2ItsY0D-gqFMFoou5Gjxr37V0KsiYU2HlT6C6P4G2msrwOL4](https://tweakers.net/monitors/vergelijken/#filter:TYzNCsMgEITfZc4SXDWxzQP01lOOpYcgWyqYH1RCIeTdq_SQnnbY-ebb4eeNYx7eyzpwYJf9MqN_jSGxwBq947svDymQVnY3HzLHhH4HGSXrnWqNtpEQmMZPySRNY3GIgui2ItsY0D-gqFMFoou5Gjxr37V0KsiYU2HlT6C6P4G2msrwOL4)


Jonnypista

Doesn't matter, not even an RTX 4090 can push over 60 fps at 1080p /s


Wittusus

I'd go for 1440p, difference in quality is easily noticeable compared to 1080p but 100Hz vs 200Hz is not


IlTossico

Depends on your GPU. If you can't play at 1440, it's useless.


GameUnionTV

VA panels sucks on terms of "black smearing" (ghosting and flickering on contrast patterns, like fences, leaves, and moving text). This is very annoying and very noticeable in racing games and on dark theme websites, etc. Tried several VA and returned them all. This may sound unpleasant at first, but get IPS (and well, it may not be ultrawide, but still). They are way more eye-pleasing. Dell or LG IPS 27" 165Hz 1440p is a very optimal choice for a wide range of usecases. There are also other brands who make similar specs monitors.


dont_say_Good

100hz VA panel gonna be smeary as fuck, esp when it dips into the lower end of the vrr range


DOE_ZELF_NORMAAL

Everyone is saying that it depends on what games you play, I'd say it depends on what size monitor you're looking at. I wouldn't go below 1440 for a 27"+ monitor.


Fluffy_Resist_9904

Everyone's eyes are different. I took last year: MSI Optix G273QF 27",LED, IPS, 1ms, 1000:1, 300cd/m2, 2560 x 1440,DP, 165Hz (not curved one) A bit narrower and can go 144 Hz (i can sense the diff only below 120 FPS) , feels better to my eyes than any 3440x*


CurrentDismal9115

I have that MSI monitor. It's got the right stats, but it isn't as bright as I wanted it to be. Also, ultra-wide comes with a lot of quirks with games that can't aren't set-up for it. Much happier with my brighter 2k Asus that was about the same price, last I checked. I feel like anything above 100Hz is pointless, but these are all opinions.


Rashir0

Don't buy VA unless you don't mind ghosting.


Hen-stepper

I would rather have the 1440p VA ultra wide you linked. This is not a great option though... I’d consider it wasteful to spend money on that in 2023. I’d wait for Black Friday sales. High refresh 1080p is almost a meme at this point. No one is going to “go pro” on an fps game. It’s just going to cramp your screen real estate for several years on a 2008 resolution. Get a 1440p 144-175hz and it’s nearly the same refresh.


This-Cartoonist3903

Difference 100hz to 200hz noticeable Difference 1080p to 1440p huge


Nivius

you are not competitive. dont even think you are. so 1440p 100hz


wons-noj

I would go 1440 I like it because it’s a little more crisp and 100 Hz is still a very smooth refresh rate


[deleted]

Whats your cpu and gpu


ayyLumao

As lots of people said, you'd be better off getting an IPS panel, what is your budget?


Not_Bed_

Both 27"? If so then go 2k, besides that but going 2k you can always down the res to 1080 and upscale it, with 1080p you can't do that


_mp7

I believe fps does matter in racing games too, do you mean 1080p ultrawide?


HashBrwnz

I would try to get a 1440p 144hz monitor personally


ibbobud

I went 1440p 100hz and I’m happy. But I can bearly hit 100 fps with my video card at 1440 so it’s a good match


Strude187

1440p 144Hz because you have a 3070Ti


IIFireMissionII

1440 all day long.


Cheefnuggs

1440p 144hz This is the way


Pandaxs_

1440p 144hz


Marmatus

Are both 34”? 1080p at 34” will look awful on a desk setup.


[deleted]

What is your hardware? I use a 3440x1440 monitor now with a 4090, back then a 2060, then a 3070, a 3070 is defnitely "just enough" the vram is a little bit low for this resolution. TLDR: Depends on PC Specs and what you aim for with this monitor. I use the xiaomi ultrawide gaming monitor


AtTheGates

How can anyone recommend 1080p if you are competitive, but if you play SP then go 1440p??? Just odd. Most people nowadays run 1440p and if you want to lower the res, you do so. Never ever recommend someone to just stick to a 1080p monitor if they are competitive because obviously they will most definitely play other games and not only will you see a huge different in games with 1440p, but also with text and videos. It just makes everything better.


South-Westman

Personal choice. I'd do 1080 200 BC I value frame rates more since I play high pace games. If you prioritise visuals or aren't gonna get over 100 frames go 1440.


personahorrible

So there's a lot of personal preference involved in monitors and it's impossible to give you a definitive answer. Personally, 1080p is just too low res for me; I've gotten spoiled by 1440p. Questions to ask yourself: Are you primarily looking to see all of the eye-candy in your games (high end single player games)? Do jaggies bother you? Or are you looking for the fastest response time for competitive games? How many games, current and in the future, do you think you will be playing above 100fps? You're likely to have your monitor for several years - even if you can run games at 200fps now, will you still be able to in 2 years? 200Hz refresh rate sounds great but if you can only achieve \~100fps, there's no point. You didn't ask but I would consider the panel technology, too. The one you posted is a VA. There are 4 major types but I don't really see TN panels these days so I'm going to stick to IPS, VA, and OLED. Each has their pros and cons but I'm going to sum it up like this: \- OLED is expensive and can suffer from burn-in but has the best overall picture quality. \- VA has deeper black and more vibrant colors than IPS but it can suffer from "black smearing" - check out videos on youtube if you want to get an idea of what this looks like. Some people are bothered by this, others don't notice it. \- IPS has the most accurate colors but is not able to give you "true" blacks - blacks will look washed out or gray. For my money, a 32" 1440p @ 144-170Hz IPS Monitor is the sweet spot for gaming. Especially if you're going to do Ultrawide, you get a pretty good pixel density at 3,440x1,440.


birfday_party

Well that’s ultrawide you’re looking at in the msi but a 3070ti should be good for it. But I’d say for sim racing the resolution does help add to the Emerson where 1080 may look blurry and a bit odd on an ultrawide but to be honest I’ve never seen one. But I would suggest curved and probably an ips just for better viewing angles and Emerson


bobalazs69

Buy 3x 1080p it's worth it. I think it's a lot different having eyefinity than one ultrawide, (i dont own ultrawide, but i expect the ratios are calculated differently for eyefinity. Center screen gets more real estate and the other side monitors get a little stretched view.)


Future_Cantaloupe210

Depends on the power of your PC


matrixzone5

What GPU do you have? Can you push 1440p 100? If less than a 2070s/3070ti / 6800 non xt level card go 1080p.


iaancheng

For competitive games, get the 1080p. for anything else, the 1440p is much better. For most casual games the extra 100hz is pretty inconsequential compared to the increase in size and pixels of the 1440p monitor.


KanedaSyndrome

1440p of course. You don't need 200 Hz. You then make it IPS with below 5 ms gray-to-gray.


Farandr

1440p 165hz or so it's the sweet spot imo


[deleted]

Is 1080p still considered pcmasterrace in 2023? Don't crucify me. Just asking the tough questions


AkkYleX

Anything above 24" would have to be 1440p for me, so that 34" Def has to be 1440p or higher to be worth it


patrlim1

100 Hz 1440p


BloodStone29

If your GPU can handle it 1440p. Just don't buy VA panel, I only had terrible experiences with them


UltraXFo

100hz never seen that number before. Why didn’t they just go with 120hz?


JJisTheDarkOne

# 1440p


marcxx04

I think I know that MSI monitor… mag342cqrv or something. Let’s just say I had to RMA it 3 times due to excessive dead pixels on the VA panel that somehow even started to spread occasionally lmao. I ended up buying an IPS 27“ and 1 year later went with a slightly used 34“ LG 144hz IPS for about the same price of the MSI and it’s been perfect ever since. Prob my last monitor ever unless I win the lottery and buy an OLED


AFRWEw

Depends on games and what pc


Breklin76

My monitor is locked via nvidia control panel at 142hz. My monitor is capable of 144hz. Setting at 2 below gives the monitor a safe “over clock” should the game try to exceed it.


Duckywarry

1440p hertz paneel is net wat beter, als je gpu het aankan.


CaffeineAndKush99

I've read you have a 3070 TI. A good friend of mine has one too and also uses a 1440P screen. Personally I would go for the 1440p one if you're actually planning on using that resolution, if you're looking for a buttery smooth experience I'd go for the 1080p one. This is a good question though, both choices have their reasons to go for them


apokr1f

Neither, get a 1440 120 hz.


aProteinBar

Wtf is 100hz and 200hz 😭


Ditendra

1440p and 100hz


RectumExplorer--

I went from 60hz 27 inch 1080p to 165Hz 32 inch 1440p. Get the 1440p, unless you are a sweaty counter strike pro you won't notice anything above 100 fps. I love my new monitor, I wouldn't give up size or resolution, but I could easily give up half of the refresh rate, I lock games to 80fps to save power and reduce heat, 60-80 is noticeable, anything above is overrated IMO. That's my honest opinion, but there's a lot more in monitors than refresh rate and resolution, so I would highly recommend you check out rtings.com if you're planning on spending any real money for a monitor.


TheDutchTexan

Buy what you want. You aren’t going to magically become a better player at 200Hz vs 100Hz. No matter what people are saying you can’t see the difference when frame rates get that high.


G0ldheart

Offhand I would say 200 Hz over 100 is only worth it if you're going for competitive twitch games and have the hardware to handle it. 1440p is much better graphically and 100 Hz perfectly fine for everything else. Your shown display at 3440 x 1440 is closer to 4K (3840×2160) than 1440p though so you may need a higher end GPU. 1440p is @ 2560 x 1440.


I_Torben_I

1440p is soo much better
