I thought it was an overkill for the games I play. 20 knps you said?! Man, even with lc0 (id323) 6 knps is a stretch for my 1060. I guess I'll wait for the 11 series then.
1080p has been my main resolution since 2012, it's time to move forward. Still according Steam statistics, about 5% of the community own 1440p monitors.

Planned to be released this summer per rumor.
Hi Nordlandia
I think you are confusing between the Graphic Card and the Monitor.
We are talking about the 1080Ti GPU ( Graphic Card) here.

I think he's aware of that hence his last sentence regarding the 11 series. I own a 4K monitor myself, and I'll take a monitor with higher refersh rate any day of the week regardless of usage whether it's for gaming, watching movies or doing office work. Watching movies at higher frame rate using frame interpolation software like DmitriRender is a bliss. Once you go this route, you can never go back.

He never mentioned the 11 Series in any of his Posts. You did.

Good to know.
By the way, I don't think a G-Sync Monitor is necessarily a 4K monitor and vice versa.

The monitor he is getting is definitely a G Sync Monitor.
So, movies will look better on a 4K Monitor or a G Sync Monitor ?

He wrote "Planned to be released this summer per rumor." which I take as a reference to the 11 series.

G Sync monitor is useless outside gaming use, even when gaming its useless for games are not demanding enough and can run on system at high and consistent FPS. It's useful only for when your games are running at lower FPS than your monitor refresh rate, giving you smooth visuals without screen tearing. Movies do look good on 4K monitors but it doesn't matter that much on small PC monitors as opposed to a large 4K TV, in my opinion. The ROG Swift PG27VQ is a 1440p 165Hz G-Sync monitor, which is a great monitor either way.
