High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
You also left out that in order to actually utilize 1440p and 144hz you have to have a system capable of running so. As we're saying that do you have a powerful enough system to run either of those while playing at decent settings on most games? Kavish
Yea, my system can run most games (Rust, Overwatch, CS) at High to maybe Ultra. I'm thinking about the higher Res as I'm using a 60hz monitor and it feels fine.
Have you tried moving your mouse on the desktop in a circle and then going to 60hz and doing the same, when I did that it was so obvious.
Yeah, I tried it on my friend's monitor and there was a slight difference between 60 and 75 hz. I don't hardcore game and I don't play that often so I think I'll try to go with higher res. There were some good Prime day deals but I didn't get any as they weren't cheap enough.
I’m selling one: https://www.mc-market.org/threads/496594/
If you want refresh, look elsewhere. But if you want resolution and image quality, this puppy is still hard to beat. 2560 by 1600 at 60Hz. This thing shouldn’t be hard to overclock to 75Hz though, and it’s got more than enough passive ventilation to handle that. Let me know if interested.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that it’s the price you want, but shipping’s on top. It will, however, almost certainly look a hell of a lot better than anything Amazon has for the price.

This dude’s selling one too, if you’re interested.
Did you enable 144Hz? Im doubting that you did. Even performing daily tasks like moving a tab or notepad around is much smoother than when I used to use 60hz. Plus 144hz is the best upgrade a gamer can make (who most likely will use low textures anyways to get better frames). Unless youre using this PC for a lot of UHD movies or spreadsheets, 1080p 144hz will suit you better
This is a myth. I say this as someone who’s debating between buying 144Hz or 5K/6K/8K for my next monitor.
Yes, I’m aware how huge a difference high refresh can make for people playing fast paced games. But the simple fact is, a lot of people don’t play fast paced games. If I’m playing Tomb-Raider with ray-tracing enabled, I’m going to appreciate resolution a lot more than refresh. Heck, even playing PVP in Minecraft vs building with shaders enabled can make resolution more important than refresh.
Point is, it depends on the gamer and the games.
The simple question is whether he wants gaming performance, or a better viewing experience. Youre clearly the type who doesnt mind if he has latency from 4k/8k monitors, lower FPS, and lower overall feel in a game. Whats important to you is the graphics and how clean the game can look, even if it doesnt run smoothly. Whereas for me the input time and performance overall is what I value most. I sacrifice some textures in every game I play to get the max fps possible, allowing my 144hz, someday 240hz monitor to really work their magic. When flicking headshots or tracking a target, the smooth updates make it much more possible
This is very much true. It depends on the individual gamer, what types of games he plays (you won’t find me flicking headshots too often, for example), and what he values in said games.
I thought I’d add to your post and mention that this also applies to average computer use, too. I do most non-gaming tasks on a Mac, and I use a lot of the built in gestures. In that regard, I have a lot to benefit from high-refresh day-to-day because it would make those gesture animations look super slick. If you work with a TON of text however, you may prefer super high-res to make that text as easy to read as possible.
It just really depends. I’m still not sure what I’d prefer.
