Should I buy a 240hz monitor? in c/PCGaming@kbin.social
[–] Acala@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

My GPU is not able to drive anything of that sort hahaha. But the monitor was much cheaper than it used to be so I thought I'd snatch it and wait for a few months until I buy a new rig.

May I know which 4k/165hz monitor you got?

Two things this will depend on - what are your system specs, and what games do you play.

The thing is my PC has really old specs. But I saw the monitor heavily discounted so I thought I'd snatch it even if I can't really use it properly for a few months.

I'm on the market for a new monitor. Mine is a very old Asus that is a 1080p/60hz monitor.

A few days ago I used to be the occasional competitive player (just playing with friends) and while I might play a competitive game or two again, I'm wondering if I should buy the BenQ Zowie 2546K. Where I'm looking (local market), it's currently the lowest price it's ever been.

But my hesitation lies on the fact that I might have more use for a 4k/140hz monitor.

I guess I'm mostly looking for personal recommendations.

For controllers and small devices like this, they could just go with standard AA batteries like Xbox's.

I'm not sure if the manufacturer will be required to make the replacement batteries themselves. For older laptops, you could buy an external battery from a 3rd-party which worked just fine.
