looking for a new monitor to enjoy XIV 1080@1ms or 1440@5ms?

I have I7 920 OC to 3.6Ghz front bus 170mhz, without raising voltage, with Radeon hd 7970 Ghz Edition 1150mhz gpu core and 1550 gpu memory, with 12gb corsair triple channel memory oc to 1700 and the game runs great on max. I'm sure if you just OC you cpu alittle and get the GTX 780ti and the monitor you want you'll be fine. I'm guessing that your PSU will power the 780ti? 500 watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 42 amps on the +12 volt rail?

yea it will it's 1000 or 750 watts cant remember now. I have never OC my cpu, so i will have to look into it...

The load would be lesser but it'd still be a pretty big load for a 660 Ti IMO.
I've never owned anything that resembles that (I am assuming you're refering to one of the AOC models?). So I am not sure what to tell you as far as FPS numbers. I'd personally stick to a regular 1920x1080 monitor to be safe; though I can see why you'd want the extra space (Hotbars/keys/UI components).

Just remember, no matter how high you go on resolution...

It's still not saving your PUG from Titan's wrath.

I just want to play XIV on a big resolution and bigger screen.. i'm tired of this 1920x1080 lol I got to much UI on my screen haha

1ms vs 5ms is really not noticeable unless you are really really tuned in on the most frantic FPS around.

Stop with the misinformation people! ...we've already established it's a non issue for ARR and MMO's in general so let's move on

Anyway while i'm here, can anyone recommend any of the decent 1ms 1080p monitors that are out there?

I've been meaning to upgrade my 19 inch monitor for a while but i'm on a limited budget and no clue where to start.

I got this one a couple months ago $284 w/free shipping. But reading this thread kinda wish i went with an UltraWide (21:9) 2560 x 1080 5ms but would of probably been about extra $100.

You can pick up some really nice 2560x1440 29 inch screens off EBay if you're willing to risk getting one shipped in from Korea.

Picked up mine last year for $349 with free shipping, (Achieva Shimian), and its been perfect since day 1. Just had to add a US power cable to the brick and it works fine.

Sure you take a risk, but overall, people buying them had great luck if you check out some of the forum threads. that started up last year when someone discovered these things.

I do 2560 X 1600 and I can tell you once you go Hi rez you can never go back.

My 280X can maintain 60fps in ARR with hdr off and npc shadows off.

If you OC you might want to consider getting aftermarket heat sink, I have Coolmaster V8 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835103055

Don't have it in right now, to lazy to take heat sink apart but plan on putting in a Sunon 120mm x 25mm 3pin Hi-speed 4500 RPM 150CFM fan, forums say it can take it lol. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...tag=point09-20 It's a monster. Just make sure you get some kind of fan controller if you get that fast of a fan.

[necrosis]

All I can say is don't go 16:9. 16:10 or bust.

I can not stand how the entire LCD industry when it comes to computer monitors over the last 5 years has all but put 16:10 out to the pasture. Who the hell wants LESS vertical real state? It pisses me off more when piss poor gaming companies fail to make their PC games PC ported console games properly for 16:10 (EA and Ubi the worst offenders).

You don't need a 1440 monitor to play at 1440. You can have a 1080p and use downsampling. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509076 I use a GTX680 and it works very well.

You can see an example with the UI

Or a video on youtube at 1440.
