Hi everyone,

I'm looking at getting a XB271HU but i will also need to upgrade my GPU shortly after.

With that being said, if i purchase the monitor will i be able to lower the monitor to 1080p until i upgrade my GPU? If so will it still run at 144Hz fine at 1080p? Otherwise i will have to wait and buy them both together.

    It will run 1080p at 144Hz, but the image will look blurry.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
