Perfect, thanks. That's what i figured i should be doing. I was wanting some "inner light" on 1080p /w GYSNC, but it's now clear 1440p is the way to go.

Yeah I cant wait, I'm so tempted to call it and just get the 1080p... but know i should wait for 1440p. I have 1080p now, but it's only 60hz, so about that...

Well, i plan on going 3 970s. And i don't use AA in my games. Do you think I'll be good?

ok, fantastic! thanks for your info. you been a great help.

That's why I'm going 3 970s.
 
 
Something you would be interested since you have a Titan X : http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/82060-evga-gtx-970-ssc-sli-vs-titan-x-r9-295x2/?page=6
 
WIth that being said, i'm wanting to see FPS jump with a 3rd 970.
 
Edit : You're right. From just looking at that report, I'm going to struggle hitting 144hz with only 2970s, thats why i was thinking about going 3x 970s.
 
See that's what i was thinking,. Should i just buy the 1080p monitor with 144hz? or, get the 1440p and wait for the 980ti's to come out? what do you think?
 
 
Edit : i know what i'm going to do. Thanks guys for feedback.

Stalinx20, I referred a friend to this thread.

I say if you can get the monitor now, and turn down a couple of settings to tide you over, then you will be able to get an awesome set of cards later and bump the settings back up to maximum.

Just know once you go 1440p you can't go back, especially 1440p at 120+.  lol

What do you guys think? I'm looking to upgrade a monitor, and it looks like by going up to 2560x1440 with GSYNC is almost an extra $400 ... Or? Do i just get the 1920x1080 model with GSYNC and use DSR? Both monitors have a 144hz refresh rate.

side question please. What is the DSR?
 
I have a rogue swift and would like to alter the output to be 21:9 [like 2550x1080 in letter box] for games like mech warrior online. Even with dual 680's and the rogue swift, MWO online is so smooth on high settings but it is blinding to loose the side windows. I was previously on 3 x 1080 [5760 x 1080] displays in surround with g-sync. the stutter was awful.

stalinx20,
 
with mech warrior online it is 40 to 70 fps but because of the g-sync is smooth. i stopped worrying about fps over 60hz since it is smooth at 40 now. My system is older than most avid gamers systems. i7-975 Extreme Edition and dual 680s. the monitor is nice don't get me wrong.
 
if i was going to wait for a monitor right now. i would recommend this one instead. "" It is a 3k resolution 21:9 aspect ratio [3440×1440]144hz g-sync. This should be out July'ish time frame. For me wide screen gaming is what i was looking for. For regular gamers like WoW, D3 and others, the Rogue Swift is out now and playing them well at 2550x1440

Acer Predator XR341CK 34″ 144Hz G-SYNC ultrawide!
 
the story is at
 

After doing a little "research", I came across this :

As for G-SYNC versus strobe, they have mutually exclusive beneficial purposes:
-- G-SYNC: Eliminates stutters/tearing, but not motion blur. Nicer looking for highly variable framerate games.
-- Strobing: Eliminates motion blur, but not stutters/tearing. Nicer looking during high triple-digit constant framerates (especially framerate=Hz)
 
With that being said, I have to say that i do not suffer, at all, from any stutters/tearing, so I could, technically, knock GSYNC out of the way, right? And by using Adaptive/V-SYNC on (I did not experience any stuttering with vsync enabled on.)

BenQ monitors have the strobing technology in their monitors, and I have experienced motion blur. So, with those 2 things being said, wouldnt it be better for my sake to go with BenQ and save a few dollars? Or if someone else has other info that could elaborate please. This really has me questioning if I should go GSYNC at all.

Yeah, I'm beginning to think that if i were to go that method, use adaptive sync, and still maintain 120hz, what's the difference? sounds to me gsync is just another marketing ploy.

I understand the principle.  I can see the potential benefit in it, Scarlet-Tech.  I just never experience anything that has bothered me.  I think the biggest benefit might be when frame rates drop, but I haven't really experienced issues with that.  I lock V-Sync and run a triple buffer typically and just hold at 60fps.
 
But again, maybe I don't know bad I have it until I see how good it could be!
