Is their a noticeable difference between 1440p and 1080p on a 24in
Specs:
1080ti
i7 8700k
16gb ddr4
240gb ssd

Games I play: csgo, pubg mainly, plan on playing ark and gta5.

I have a 1080p 144hz 24inch free sync monitor, but I want to get more out of my rig so I’m planing on buying a 1440p 165hz g-sync monitor at 24 inches——->https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01IOO4SGK/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1516984282&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=165hz+1440p+monitor&dpPl=1&dpID=41SFjI6yQTL&ref=plSrch

I’m wondering will I notice a difference between my 1080p and 1440p on a 24inch? Also, I don’t have a lot of money to spend so I thought this would be a good deal. Any advice?

Your link is blocked, honestly, at 24 inch, 1080p is fine, if you want to go up to 1440p high refresh, aim for a 27 inch screen,it's not really worth the cost staying at 24 inch.

Well yea it's a 1080 Ti, it's pointless to run games at 1080p, which is too low of a res for such a GPU as that; you'll be lucky if games tax your GPU by 50% usage.

Get like 27-inch or larger; 1440p or higher; 144Hz or higher

An extra 3 inches to the screen is like an extra 100+ bucks
Is it really that big of a deal. There is 165hz 1440p g-sync for 400.

Once you've used it, yes,27 inch fills your sight really well without having to look around at an average arms length away, going much bigger and you can't really take everything in as well, it's good for immersion though, at 24 inch, 1080p is fine, save your money.
27 is a really good size and worth the extra.

Well yea, there is nothing good in a 24-inch offering

The thing is, im used to a 24 inch, so the extra doesnt concern me. The reason Im looking for a new monitor is so that i can duel monitor and because I want to get more use out of my 1080ti. What it comes down to is will the 24inch not look as good as for as graphics and how sharp the image is? If yes, then I'll think to getting the 27, but as of now I dont think i need it nor have the money for it.

24 inch basically limits you to 1080p
They are not bothering to make higher res monitors at 24 inches or lower cause it doesn't really make any sense to do that.

Maybe keep the current 24 inch as your secondary, for the primary gaming monitor, get a good G-Sync one. Perhaps even an Ultra-Wide 21:9 one with 1440p. You'll have much better Field of View in Games with 21:9

If you are more worried about the screen matching; then I'd get rid of that 24 inch entirely.

Not to be a ♥♥♥♥ but I don’t think you know what you are talking about. 1440p on a 24inch will actually look sharper than bigger monitors because it’s fitting a bigger amount of pixels in a smaller amount of space. So I’m almost certain your statement “24inch basically limits you to 1080p” isn’t accurate lol

I think he means there are few higher Res high end 24 inch screens now, yes it will look a bit sharper going to 1440p at 24" it just isn't worth it, the ppi is fine at 1080p at that size, also be aware you won't hit the same frame rates at 1440p as you do at 1080p, going to 1440 while staying the same size won't be THAT noticeable while actually gaming, you'll just be doing so at a lower FPS.

so do you think a 27in 144hz g-sync monitor will be the sweet spot for my rig?

Of course. Most "normal-sized" higher-res monitors are ~27" for a reason.
Yeah, the resulting image is almost +80% sharper!

I meant from a market stand-point is all. Do you see small screen with super high res, NO.
Sure maybe on Phones/Tablets, that is completely different and they design those in a certain manner to which in the end, the UI and all fits properly and looks properly.

You can apply res such as 1440p or 2160p to any 1080p Display using NVIDIA DSR.
Will it look better? Usually only in Games, not for the OS Desktop.

There is a 27” 144hz g-sync monitor that is $450, then a 165hz g-sync 24” for 400$. For 50 bucks more I can get 3 extra inches but I’d be losing 25 fps. Can anyone explain to me in depth why getting be 27” is a better decision please?

You are not going to notice any difference between 144hz and 165 really as even going from 100hz to 144hz is minimal.

I suggest you go to a store with such monitors on display to get an idea of what works for you not to mention how much desktop space you have and how far the monitor will be from where you sit.
