New GTX Titan X in SLI, but with what monitor??

I am glad I waited to purchase my next monitor (which is going to be paired with my new Hailstorm 2 PC build from Digital Storm). After chatting with John (Digital Storm) via emails, I'll be delaying my PC purchase until DS receives their shipment of nVidia's new GTX Titan X video cards. The delay may only take up to 2 to 3 weeks.

With that out of the way, I am now reconsidering buying a 27 Inch monitor with 1440p and 144mhz (I was going to get the 27" ACER Predator with g-sync/1440p/144mhz/IPS screen). Why?? Because the power needed to run a 4K based monitor with great FPS (from 100-150 FPS, for example) is certainly possible and most likely probable now with these new Titan X Pascal Based cards. So, this leads me to ask - what monitor out there should I consider buying taking in the fact that the GPU power of dual Titan X cards is a reality? Do I stay with 1440p or go with a 4K? For personal reference, I really like the 27" monitors as it fits my gaming needs. Anything bigger is not really something I'd like to do. A 27" monitor is the monitor sweet spot for me.
Thank you, everyone, in advance for reading and commenting. :)


{{{***Side Note: I read today via an article I found online, that nVidia is NOT going to allow any outside manufacturers to make their own version(s) of the new Pascal based Titan X. In other words, no EVGA or Asus or MSI etc Pascal based Titan X cards will be released. nVidia is selling this as a straight from nVidia card while allowing only a select few custom PC builders to have some to be used in their custom built systems. Digital Storm appears to be one of the fortunate custom builders, however, so good news for us lol.***}}}

db188, thanks for the reply.

I know the phrase "future proof" isn't really "future proof" as it pertains to PCs because the technology ladder is climbed so fast. It seems that a good PC is often called "old technology" within six months to a year. And, rest assured, despite me buying the type of PC I have in regards to power and with all of the latest hardware, this is it for quite a few years for me after this purchase. If there is an upgrade in the near future for my set-up, it will be the monitor. Everything else will keep me happy for a long time. For reference sake, I bought the PC build that I did for several reasons. As a hobby of mine, I also am an amatuer astronomer and my PC will be carrying the load to capture (in real-time) meteors, comets, planets, solar flares, etc. My scope will be hooked straight in to my PC or laptop to be then used with software where I can capture or follow orbits. Gaming isn't the only reason why I bought the PC I have. :)

But again, this PC will hold me over for several years. This is the only reason why I went the route that I did. Due to a few personal things that occurred the last 8 yrs, I had been out of the loop with everything PC related for about 6 yrs. Sure, there is that feeling of 'having the latest and greatest', but that is not at all my motivation.

I'll go with a 1440p with 144 refresh rate at first I think. Then when 4k monitors with a refresh rate of 144mhz is released, then I'll buy that. 4k with a 60mhz refresh rate just isn't as nice as 1440p with 144 refresh rate. That is my opinion, however.

It will indeed, lol.
Yup, im going with the one i had planned on getting - 27inch IPS panel, w/G-sync, 144hz, 1440p, 4ms latency. Once more 4k monitors are built with 144hz refresh rate. I'll be ready to buy it. Until then, Im going to enjoy my beast. lol. I mean regardless of 4k monitor now or not, my PC will give me the beauty it is designed and built for. Thanks again!! :)

Titan SLI is most definitely the only solution that can potentially max out every game at 100/144 FPS to take advantage of the native refresh rates for high end monitors...

I have 1080's SLI and while it plays most games over 100 FPS, it falls a bit short of maintaining that in every triple A title and I'm talking 3440x1440, not even 4K....

So if you have the money and 4K gaming is your thing, there's no way in hell 1080 SLI will push 100 FPS in 4K (when the high refresh 4k monitors get released)...

I myself thinking of returning the 1080's for Titan's for this same reason...If you're into games 2400 for video cards is a ton of money but it will last for years!

Having said this, I'm basing on these cards being as fast as some early bloggers claim.... anything less than 30% faster than a 1080 is just not worth it....

We don't even know they will offer a TI....

Nope I do care... I have a setup with 980Ti;s not Titans.... but timing is everything...
