21,5'' 108p IPS 60 HZ monitor vs 24'' 1440P 60 HZ IPS

[SHREDDER]

Will i see a big difference in graphics? Next month i am getting a GTX 1070 and i have GTX 970. Many people say that for GTX 1070/1080 to show their real graphic power they will needd a 1440p+ moitor. So going from my current monitor to the one mentioned when i get 1070 will i see much better graphics in games? Or even if i keep my current monitor the games will still look better?

Better graphics? Definitely not.
However, a higher resolution will make things look clearer in games at a higher performance impact.

Oks so it is worth to buy this monitor for gaming or should i keep my LG22MP55 and upgrade only the grahics card? Some people say that GTX 1070/180 due to how much powerful they are they need a 1440p monitor or better to show the best graphics possible on games. Some of them even say that the monitor not only needs to be 1440p but 144 hz too however these monitos are too expensive. Also what if a game dont support 1440p in this case the game will look the same on 1440p monitor as it will look on a 1080p? Since more and more games are using 4kt textures and with the new Nvidia techologies for high end pc's like VXAO and HTFS that why i think about getting a 1440p monitor.

UP. I am thinking if i am goign to make trhe righr choice or not.... With all the marketing that 4k is getting and with game companys saying that a gaming pc can show almost real life graphicx wih 4k monitor and since more and more games are getting 4k textures and we are also getting the first 4k movies this year..... Is it a good decsision to go from my LG22MP55 to Dell Dell Monitor 24'' P2416D ? Or should i stay with my LG22MP55? I know that 1440p monitors has much better image than 1080p but..... The issue with 4k monitors is that due to their very big size will not fit atll in my desk since they are 27''+ But a 24'' is the largest my desk can fit that what my techician who fixs and upgrades my pc told me when i asked him about better monitor.

So what should i do?

Any high end graphics card is overkill for 1080p without a 144 Hz monitor.
Why are there few small monitors for 1440p or 2160p(4k)? Google about scaling issues.
Texture size has an impact in every resolution you use. Although HiRes textures maybe more noticeable in 1440p and 2160p. Your graphics card should have enough VRAM and the processing power to use it effectively.That is one reason why high end cards have typically more VRAM than lower end ones.
There are low end cards with a ridiculous amount of VRAM for marketing purposes - avoid them.
Edit: Another possibility to use the horse power of your graphics card is to render the game
e.g. in 2160p and display it in 1080p on your display (downsampling).

In games that already using 4k textures like Far Cry Primal i notice a difference in graphics quality even on my current 21,5 1080p ,monitor but the graphics of these games will be even better on 1440p or 4k monitor. Problem is most games dont have 4k textures yet. Yes i am already using 4k DSR to play games that my card can run at that resoultion but in most games i use 1440p DSR since 970 can not run evrything at 4k DSR. For example i am currently playing DOOM at 4k DSR with evrything maxed and the game runs well with no issues same for far cry primal that also played 4k DSR but in Rise of the tomv raider for example i had to use 1440p DSR since it was unplayblle on 4k. Yes i know about scaling issues on some small 1440-4k monitors but i did a lot of research these days and i found that in particular the DELL P2416D
that was released on October 2015 is the best 1440p 24'' monitor avalible. I talked with people on other formus aswell who also own this monitor and a guy who went from a monitor like mine to it saw a big improvement. About DSR is 4k DSR worh using on 1440p monitor or the difference in image quality will not be so big to justify the perfomance cost? My 970 can currently run all games at max settings 1440p with the only exceptions being Rise of tomb raider and Quatnum break.

I have a 42'' UHD tv as primary monitor so scaling issues are not the big problem. If you are using a relatively small monitor(24'') with 1440p resolution you already have a very good image quality as the pixel density is high(ppi). The bigger the screen the lower your ppi at a given resolution. Thats why 4k is good for big monitors. There is a diminishing return on supersampling if your native monitor resolution is relatively high already.
If you are using your monitor primarily for gaming a small screen size is not so problematic (if the HUD of the game scales properly). If you're doing a lot of web browsing or use it for video/photo editing it's a different story.

Ok so then it will be worth to get that 24 1400p monitor for gaming? Will games look much better? Or should i keep my 1080p monitor and when 4k monitors are cheap enough in the future then get a small 4k monitor?

1080p resolution is most optimal at 19 to 24 inches in size for a 3 foot viewing distance to be rentina (viewer can't count pixels and it's more relaxing to the eyes).

1440p would be more optimal around 27-37 inches, for that same 3 foot viewing distance. Note that this is 70% more pixels to push, you graphic card should be high end enough to be able to keep up with this.

Then UltraHD 4K would be 37 inches or more in monitor size to remain rentina. Note that this is 4 times 1080p resolution and therefore should be double the monitor size to make the most out of those additional pixels. Requiring 2x high-end graphic cards in SLI such as the GTX 980 or a single Nvidia Pascal card can now run them.

[SHREDDER]

Ok i took my decision. After i read lot of reviews from users who went from 21,5'' 1080p IPS to 24'' 1440p IPS 60 hz and especialy the Dell Monitor 24'' P2416D which is currently the best 24'' 1440p monitor it seemls like there is a big difference. So i will buy this with 1070 unlesss until then someone else releases a better monitor at the same price(300 euros).

If you are going to go GTX 1070; then I would look at getting around 27-inch Monitor, 1440p/144Hz
