Pavster :
Hey,
I have bought a dell 1080p monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate. It also has an 8ms response time.
Is this good enough for gaming will it affect anything)?
I am using a gtx 970 with an i5 6600k, will I be able to use the full potential of my gpu with this monitor?
Thanks
anything above 10ms is bad. you are in the safe zone. My friend used a 8ms response time monitor and was totally satisfied

You'll be great mate...I've used awesome IPS displays (Dell u2711) with some "high" gtg response times and never felt like I was laggy. 9ms is nuthin' 
Dell makes GREAT displays...the second they release a G-Sync model of their IPS Ultrasharp line, Im all over it.

"Good enough" will depend on your opinion.
With 8ms response time you will probably notice ghosting when there is much/fast activity and if you like playing FPS games (or racing sims) you will probably notice input lag.

I used Ultrasharp U2415 on PC with 4790K and GTX 970, played Far Cry 4 - perfect everything, no ghosting no shadows, nothing visual. I have an old 20 sec Dell Ultrasharp screen, played BF4 no visual problems as well, maybe racing games will have ghosting, but not FPS ones.

It's an LCD and you're talking about ghosting on a 60 Hz panel? Even 1 ms BTB won't get rid of that. It's not a CRT, Plasma, or OLED. The way you minimize ghosting on an LCD, is by increasing the refresh rate, which allows for faster updates. Realistically, a 1 ms response time is only useful on a 1000 Hz display if it was the BTB spec, and not GTG. The GTG 1 ms, can go way above 10 ms, though the higher end "gaming" monitors are down to around 6 ms with overdrive, which also causes problems. Manufacturers measure this spec differently, 1 ms Asus might not be 1 ms BenQ, and so on. Which by the way, the tests in their labs are as far away from accurate as you can get, in order to sell more monitors - because people thinks lower is better. Hilarious.
