    Benq XL2730Z or Asus MG278Q ?

    Hello, I bought an R9 290 not long ago and looking for a compatible 144hz Freesync monitor. Both of these models got great reviews, and are now priced relatively the same (do not confuse the mg278q TN with the 279q IPS). Can anyone help me choose? :confused:

    Benq XL2730Z or wait ?

    Hey, I am considering purchasing a new monitor, I'm running an R9 290 so QHD is probably the highest I can go. When I first read about the XL2730Z I noticed it had some bug with overdrive but this was fixed with a new firmware (V002). Is now a good time to purchase a monitor, or since...

    Does Freesync/GSync eliminate the need of a higher refresh rate monitor?

    I saw this list a couple days ago: http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/list-of-freesync-adaptive-sync-compatible-monitors.html and noticed that currently the 4K displays (at least the freesync ones) do not support a 144hz refresh rate comparing to some of the WQHD models. I currently own a 120hz...

    ATI Freesync anywhere in sight?

    I am seeing a lot of Gsync monitors being released lately, any news regarding ATI's Freesync? I'm planning on upgrading to R9 380/370 when they are released, but that kinda depends whether ATI answer to Nvidia's GSYNC is months away, or years away...

    R9 290X or Kepler...the GSYNC dilemma

    I'm assuming that Nvidia revelaing GSYNC so close to R9 launch is no conicidence. I was already set on buying a new R9 290x, but now with this new information I consider waiting for a GTX 780 price drop/ 780 TI (in a few weeks). My current system: I5-2500k@4.4ghz, P8P67 PRO, 2X Gigabyte 560 TI...

    3D vision and GTX 460 SLI, 768 or 1GB ?

    Hey, I was thinking of getting 2 X GTX 460 768MB. I've seen many benchmarks, yet not many 3d vision ones. My question is : Will I see a noticeable gain by using 2 X GTX 460 1GB instead of 768MB running 3D Vision on 1920x1080? and also, I will have to add 70$ to get 2X 1GB, so is it worth it?
