Gaming in 2560x1440

[CraZeeY]

Hello guys!

Anyone here gaming in 2560x1440? If so, how it is compared to 1920x1080? Been thinking about adding a second 7970 and getting a Asus 27" PB278Q. How much of a difference is it?

What games are you planning on going crossfired 7970s @ 1440 for? In example, I have crossfired 7950s both OCd to 1000mhz core, for some reason I can't OC the memory clocks but that is besides the point. In BF3 2560x1440 with no aa and everything ultra I get 120+ fps down to high 90s in intense situations. I currently run a Yamakasi Catleap 2B Extreme OC monitor (2560x1440) and I have been able to OC it to 129hz, at 130hz I hit the PCB limit and the screen flashes black, for longevity of the PCB I have downclocked it to 120hz. This is definitely the best monitor you can get at the moment, no other monitor can do 1440 @ 120hz. It uses the same LG panels that come in the Apple Thunderbolt displays, except that they are A- or A rated panels so you have a chance of getting dead/bright/stuck pixels. Personally I had 1 bright stuck pixel on the middle right side which I was able to resolve by rubbing it with a cloth.

imo, if you're going for crossfired 7970s you would want this monitor. If not, then you can get pretty much get exactly the same monitor with no OC potential, so only 60hz 1440, at around the $400 range, which has the same LG panel.

For more information on the OC model you should read up on them at 120hz.net you will not be disappointed.

edit Forgot to mention the low input lag from only having a DVI-D input and no OSD

I did look in to the catleap before the asus one to be honest. The catleap would set me back at ~~830-850 usd compared to the asus one at ~~770 so I decided that the Asus would be a better purchase for me. I don't play alot fps games so 120 hz isn't really needed or thaat tempting

If 120hz+ isn't your thing then maybe consider the non-OC model. I have not purchased one myself but they use the same LG panel which is IPS vs PLS from the Asus. You could probably pick one up in the $400 dollar range, saving ~$300, which could be spent on that extra card. If you are using the monitor mainly for gaming then you will not notice dead/bright/stuck pixels at all. 120hz.net does not handle these though and your best bet would be to check greensum on ebay.
