Hey all so I was thinking since I can't feasibly go after a newer video card because of the market, I figured I would go after a legit gaming monitor. Well Microcenter has a deal going on with a few monitor.

This is what I am looking at: https://www.microcenter.com/endeca/...UVD1nYW1pbmcrbW9uaXRvciZOVEs9YWxsJnBhZ2U9MQ==

My current monitor I actually got from Newegg back in 2018 & it still works great, but I would like to upgrade to a 144hz monitor. I guess my question overall is, is the investment worth upgrading from a standard 75hz to 144hz monitor? I mean my current monitor still works fine and not really sure that I will see a big boost in terms of performance.
 
I can't see the link for some reason, but I will say that you should see a difference between a 75Hz to 144Hz monitor. I'm doing the same, looking for a 1440p, +120Hz or better monitor for gaming and video editing. But I'm trying to get it around $300 and the most likely product has one of the worst customer supports and quality control.
 
I almost got the MSI one myself, I liked that one so If I had to pick I'd get that!

I recently upgraded my gpu from a 1080ti to a 2080ti and I ended up going for a Zowie XL2411P (BenQ) I already had 2 BenQ XL2411's but none of them had a Display port or 120hz/144hz over HDMI. I grabbed the P version and it has DisplayPort. I did it this way so I wouldn't have different looking monitors, I wouldve hated the aesthetic of having different monitors.... lol so bith look the same one monitor is connected to DP and one is connected with a DVI-D cable to USB-C Active Adaptor. the 3rd (old 2nd monitor is in storage)
