Q: I'm looking for a monitor that will give me space to work in Photoshop, Maya, Game Engines and has a good refresh rate for competitive games. Would this be a good fit?

Q: Availability

A: Sorry, there is no update yet but once ASUS decides to have this available again we are going to post information in our website.

Q: Can a single GTX 760(2gb) run two of these monitors while using Adobe Photoshop?

A: This would greatly under power the monitor also being a TN screen and you doing artwork you may want to look into a really nice ISP 1080 monitor over this. It has like most TN screens, color issues and this ones issue is with greens. You would need to step up the video card to really make use of the full power of this display for gaming and if not really for gaming then it's the wrong type of monitor for photoshop work where color accuracy is a big deal.

Q: Is this a touch screen when used with Windows 8.1?

A: You would need to purchase a monitor with touch screen feature. This one does not have that.
