I currently have a 27" monitor that runs at 120hz with a 1ms response time that works very nice. I just changed video cards from an ASUS R9 290x (btw great card,has run really well for the last 2.3 yrs) to a Nvida MSI 980ti Golden Edition, just arrived yesterday, yet to be installed....
I will miss that 290x, it's still a beast of gpu. Only downside besides power consumption was the price I paid. It was at the peak of the Bit-coin mania BS where AMD prices were greatly over inflated due to people snapping up all the card inventory and retailers and e-tailers price gouging, putting overpriced premiums on them....That left a really sour taste in my mouth.
I'm actually, after discounts and rebates, paying less for the new card than the 290x from over 2 years ago.
So, with the recent change in gpu's, my next and hopefully final move, would be going to a 144hz g-sync monitor in the 28-30" variety and see what kind of results that gives in terms of performance.
As for player skill, well no matter the hardware, I'm on my own there.
