Honestly, for a 4K resolution monitor with 144Hz refresh rate, along with the technology involved, the price of RM10,999 isn’t that unreasonable.

Don’t get us wrong though, the ROG Swift PG27UQ is a premium monitor that is on a league of its own, but it’s clearly not the next level upgrade for everyone.įor those of you who wants a monitor that focuses more on pure performance for competitive gaming, you might want to stick back to a TN panel monitor that comes with 1ms GtG, reasonable features and price that actually fits for your budget and needs. That high price and fancy technology it has isn’t really that practical at this moment, as we can see that even a system with two GTX 1080Ti in SLI is having a hard time to actually utilizing the monitor to its full potential. For fast paced games like CS:GO, the 144Hz refresh rate and G-SYNC does really help out with the blur and tearing prevention – especially when you’re playing it on 4K resolution.ĤK display might be on its way to becoming mainstream, but the ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ here is just way ahead of time – seriously.

Less graphically demanding games like Counter Strike: Global Offensive and other eSport titles however, is able produce more frames than the AAA titles – average of 130 FPS. Being able to effectively displaying all the frames is what contributes to a smoother gameplay. Now this is when the 144Hz refresh rate comes to play – flipping more frames than an average 60Hz monitor. The system we’re using for the test however, isn’t powerful enough to handle – even though we’re running on GTX 1080Ti in SLI and i7 6900K.įor both Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege and Tom Clancy’s The Division, we’re getting an average of 60-70 FPS and 90-110 FPS respectively on the highest graphics settings. Yes (Crosshair/Timer/FPS Counter/Display Alignment)Ħ Modes(Scenery/Racing/Cinema/RTS/RPG/FPS/sRGB Modes)įor such a premium monitor – at the premium price of RM 10,999 as well, ASUS never disappoints in providing the necessary cables and accessories for such a premium product.Īlthough the ROG Swift PG27UQ is a 4K display monitor capable of 144Hz refresh rate, getting a AAA title to run more than 144 FPS at 4K resolution requires a serious powerhouse to pull off such a feat at the highest graphics settings. We had the opportunity to test the ROG Swift PG27UQ and this is what we have to say about it.
