Monitor question
I have a Asus Strix 750ti GPU. It has 2GB of onboard video memory and
uses 8GB of shared system memory. According to its specifications, it can apparently handle 3840x2160 resolution. I have been happily running a monitor (Dell UltraSharp 2407wfp) at 1900x1200 native resolution. It's got about 12 years on it. I don't really do computing which pushes the video card harder than casual games. If I were to upgrade to a 4k monitor (3840x2160 resolution), would I likely be pleased or unsatisfied with the results? By rough math, I think I would use about 4 times as much memory (but I don't know how to see how much I am actually using now!) That's assuming that 4k uses 32-bit color too, Mainly I like "sharp crisp text". Somehow,after reading some reviews, I ended up considering the Dell 2721Q monitor (which is almost $500). It seems as you get bigger screens you need finer resolution to get "sharp crisp text"! ; ) (duh!) Anyone following GPUs in the news knows that this is a rather poor time to be in the market for a GPU. Any comments or suggestions based upon your experience is welcome! Bill |
