I had similar options but I went with the ROG swift simply because of 144Hz. 4K res needs too much GPU power at the moment unless you can cough up two 980s.

But congratz on the purchase :)

Great choice. However like I mentioned, I couldn't go with anything less than 4K now considering Dual 970s is not my permanent setup, when I bought them few months ago I bought them keeping in mind that I will be selling these as soon as the updated versions of 900 series comes out i.e. Ti and all with 8GB VRAMs most likely with better performance and that time I'd go with 980s or whatever top of the line card in dual SLI as I'm against anything over 2 cards in SLI.

So considering all that, 4K was viable choice for me because I can play games at Ultra even with Dual 970s but not with 60fps at all times in all games but reaching 45-50 constant fps is neat enough in games like BF4 etc. So once I get the new cards when they come out, 4K at everything max will be a bliss for me :)
Also like I mentioned, I'll be joining you in ROG Swift soon enough but with the 4K panel that's coming out in few months, probably 6 months or so? unless something better is there at the market at that time :)

Sure bro. For me, I am not just a causal gamer, I play competitively online in games like BF4, COD AW, TF2, CS GO, so for me coming from a 120 Hz monitor, I was at least going after a higher refresh monitor. ROG swift simply had everything for me since I never buy dual cards and with a GTX 980 I am able to power through more than 60fps on a 1440p res which is really good coupled with g-sync offcourse :)

The next upgrade for me atleast would be when we start seeing higher refresh rates in 4K monitors that currently are stuck at 60 Hz

Makes sense, I can't imagine downgrading from 120Hz the to 60Hz either.

Sadly games are so badly optimized for PC nowadays that even 140Hz feels like a waste but when you get a game that actually does it justice then I bet it's heaven ;).

Can't wait for over 60Hz 4K panel my self [emoji14]

Congrats! So Finally You Got It :D Looks Great Enjoy the Eye-Candy Now ;).
Yessssss, lol. I got it rather quickly as well, didn't have to wait too long :)

Congrats bro, that is an awesome purchase. And like before, love it that you write detailed impression about the item too. (y)
Thanks bro, not regretting going with it instead of ROG Swift at all either ;) - Yeah, I took couple days to use it and then create a thread so I could give a detailed review about it as well of how it works out for me.
I have to say at first when I started using 4K it was kinda hard to read stuff without scaling but now I'm getting used to it, even though I'd love better scaling option in Windows 10 but it'll be not that bad if I actually get used to it but nevertheless eagerly waiting for Windows 10's 4K support :)

It is a good practice too. Unboxing with a review feels so much better. (y)

I can't even imagine what 4k looks like, I'm still sitting with a sub-HD (1366x768) monitor. :p

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
