New GPU or New Monitor

Hi, here in brazil things can be really expensive, like..

You can find1080 ti strix rogfrom asus starting @ R$4.800(+-$1.359)and finishing @ R$5.600 (+-$1.606)

With the same amount of money that i need to buy 1 1080ti, i can buy2x LG 34" 21:9 144hz R$2.550($722)
right now im using a asus gtx 1060 3gb oc and with 2x LG Flatron w2353v

so what would you do if you were me?

I would do the monitor bcs its more worth it in the long run.
I had to make the same decision like 2 years ago and i choose grapichs card and i kinda regret it now bcs my screen is black in the corners well good luck with the shopping i guess! ?

What's the point of going from 1060 to 1080 ? It really depends on what you wanna do with your computers, I'd go with the monitors to..

Sorry for being late in answer, the forum didnt inform about replies here...

Thanks for sharing what you've done..

im thinking alot about.. as i said, i already have 2 but they are 60hz and 10yo monitors..
my main use is to stream(play games), code and watch movies

i need the new gpu cuz new games requires alot of VRAM like Final Fantasy XV WE, to play using MAX settings @ 4k and 60fps it will use +- 10gb vram..

I need the monitors cuz mine are old

Yes Brazil taxes are a madness, I will go with the 1060.

i think i'll need help with the second part of your plan.. bet you join!

If it were me, I'd probably go with the monitors since it would nearly double the screen real estate.

You've got approx. 226" of screen area now with the 2 x 23" 16:9 monitors, but 2 x 34" 21:9 monitors would put you at approx. 420".

(As a side note, and I may be wrong about this, but if the new monitors have a higher resolution than the old monitors, wouldn't that reduce the load on the GPU due to reduced downsampling?)

Also, I had no idea that Brazil had ~28.5% sales tax... that's brutal :disgusting:

gpu is a nah monitor will work makes ur game look clearer then just a gpu u know?
