You should try it and let us know. This is an unanswerable question, it is 100% opinion. One is an IPS panel which is WHQD, and another is a lightboost TN panel. They're both good but obviously differ very much. Not really comparable, they both excel at different things.

So do try it and let us know. No one can do anything except offer opinions, give us yours when you're done testing.

No what i mean is that i have Gtx 780 SLI and R9 290 so is this a right choice to go for.

Normally i see so many people go using these type of monitor with Gtx 780 SLI or Gtx 780 TI SLI setups.

Depends what you want to do with it. For FPS gaming or 3D, it's 100% the right choice, for everything else you're better off with the 2713HM imo.

I would personally go with the 24" version btw.

I don't know. You tell me. These are different monitors. One is a 2560x1440 which is obviously better for non gaming and offers higher image quality if you prefer it for non twitch based gaming. OTOH FPS games will be better with lightboost despite the inferior 1080p resolution and other TN shortcomings. They both have merits. It depends on you.

You're asking a question without answers. These are not directly comparable monitors. Take your pick depending on which GAMES you like and what you prefer: twitch gaming versus higher image quality overall

If you want to game in 3D with 144hz in 2D, then the choice is obvious, get the BenQ, it can do that, the Dell cannot.

I'm not sure your GPU's matter, other than them being able to use 3D Vision 2, which they can.

I've read that Benq has a washed out looking screen. Maybe you can compare to the Asus monitors.
