Should I change my monitor?

I am a simple person, why replace something that still works just fine for you?

I think 970 is perfect for 1080p/60 fps. If you want to buy high res monitor you also need GPU to handle that resolution. GPU prices are FUCKED right now, so I don't know if this is a good idea. If you want big screen for work, internet browsing, movies, sure.

Unless you're going for a refresh rate of higher then 60hz, I'd just stick with it. The 970, although capable of 1440p on some games I'm sure, is still probably best suited for 1080p overall so... Really comes down to whether or not you want to be able to push games past 60fps.

I agree with the others. Your 970 is great for 1080p 60Hz gaming. If you want to go for 1440p you'll probably need a better GPU, and that's not the best time for that.

Thank you for the help. I guess I'll stick to my current monitor for now.

The bigger, the better. 23" would be too small for me.

ps.: Acer = price change of 500%. You will find the same for cheaper but not from acer.

Getting a new monitor has it's benefits:
For example, your monitor is a TN panel. Newer monitors have IPS and VA panels which are much nicer on the eye and make your content much nicer. (there are also ones that have low input lag so don't need to worry about it)

You can buy a bigger monitor with the same resolution and might be more immersive, BUT it depends how far you sit from the monitor. Measure the distance and play aroun with the number (https://designcompaniesranked.com/resources/is-this-retina/ ignore the retina part, just see the PPI you get from the distance you are from the monitor). If you sit close then it's not a good idea to buy a bigger monitor.

You can buy a ultrawide monitor (21:9 aspect ratio). I bought one myself and it's great for everyday multitasking and also for games it's very nice and immersive. I have a R9 390 amd card which is similar to 970 and running games on a 2560x1080 screen is ok for it (not much different from running the games in FHD 1920x1080).

But it is up to your personal preferences.

Yes new monitor is always good if its better than current. 3 days back i bought 35" and am like owl xD its AOC agon but now idk detailed name am not home. WFHD that enough 4 me.
Yes do it

I got the Samsumg, BX2250, six years and still going strong. Hardware stuff is really expensive on my country., i will try to get the LG ultrawide 29UM69G this year, is kinda of a upgrade (75hz and bigger resolution).
I have a 1070 BTW.

Check out the dell s2417dg. 24" 1080p Gsync 165 Hz, can be had for $360 right now with a $50 dell gift card bonus. https://slickdeals.net/f/11250615-dell-s2417dg-165hz-g-sync-monitor-50-dell-egift-card-for-359-99

I've got the 27" 1440p version and love it. Gsync is fantastic.

I've been eyeing UHD TV sets, myself, cheaper than most mid-tier to high-end computer monitors, damn huge and make for a great multi-tasker that can cover lots of roles effectively: a 40 incher has about the pixel density of a 27 in QHD, while 43 is half way through that and a FHD 24 in panel, while offering the real estate of four 20 (or 21.5) inch monitors.

Even entry level Samsung models have reportedly very decent input lag figures (after turning off all of the processing) and handle 4:4:4 so text rendering is as crisp as on a computer monitor.

Of course there are downsides, so whether it is a viable option or not depends on one's personal preferences and needs.

I have a 970 and recently got an Ex-demo Asus ROG Swift PG279Q for $670AUD (for games, movies and CAD work). The quality overall build quality of the monitor is amazing. I play csgo comp mostly and get 210-280fps. I was a little disappointed with the amount of noticeable backlight bleed in the dark since its an IPS panel, lucky I still have my old monitor a BENQ GW2760S for late night movies. Its a great monitor would recommend it, if you play the most up-to-date AAA games then, however, you probably won't be using the monitor to its full potential on 2k with a 970 (60ish fps)

Only if he/she was cheating on you.

Just remember to check at which framerates does gsync or the AMD equivalent work. Some don't engage under 60 FPS which kind of defeats the point for a slower GPU.

GPU prices will be fubar for most of the year. Don't bother until you see what happens when Volta comes out. Maybe the $1000 cards will drop back down to $500.

Will you SEE the difference? Chances are the difference if any will be negligible. Save your $$$ for later when you can get a 4k monitor with a better upgrade.

I have an ASUS IPS monitor so the colors looks better and afaik IPS looks best even if I don't do a ton of photo/video editing. If you're buying a monitor, I assume you're still keeping the old one for a dual or maybe tri-monitor setup? Having more monitors have definitely changed how I work and you can always disable the extra monitors in GPU settings if needed for fps. The ASUS ROG Swift monitor you mentioned seems to have a lot of backlight bleed reviews however, so personally I'd try to find another one.

Yes, if you're using a 23 inch, it's time for an upgrade. 27 inch is quickly becoming the new "average" and they're dirt cheap anymore.
A larger, higher quality (IPS panel, higher refresh rate, higher resolution) monitor will change your entire gaming experience.

Con una 970 no vas a poder 1440p a 60 fps.
