Question 1

how high can the fps go

Accepted Answer

Like all monitors, the max FPS is equal to the monitor's refresh rate.  This one has a max refresh rate of 144hz. But what's important isn't the max FPS but the fact that frames are written exactly when the monitor is ready.  With a regular monitor without G-Sync, either you...
1) turn on vsync (vertical synchronization) which means if your FPS drops below the max, your refresh rate drops to half (and if it drops below half, it goes to one quarter, and so on).
2) turn off vsync and you get "tearing" which is when the monitor shows you the top part of one frame and the bottom part of the next frame, which is particularly noticeable when you turn left or right.
But with G-Sync, every frame written by the graphics card is displayed on the monitor without artifacts.
   Honestly, if your FPS is up over 144, then this monitor will do nothing for you.  Best to just get a different monitor with a high refresh rate.  That's because at those speeds, with vsync on, no frames are going to drop.  But I'd be shocked if your GPU can crank out frames over 144, especially on newer games with high detail.  Honestly, if you ever drop below 60, which is easy do do with today's games, then this monitor's G-Sync capabilities are marvelous.  You see no tearing and no stuttering.  It's like looking through a window.
   By the way, a great many monitors say they have 120hz refresh while at the same time having a standard HDMI input.  HDMI has a max refresh rate of 60hz (which means a max FPS of 60).  Bottom line, if a monitor does not have a DisplayPort adapter, then it is likely not going to have a refresh rate any higher than 60hz, regardless of what's on the box.  This monitor is built for gaming and it looks better than any other monitor I've ever seen.  It was worth every dollar.
  One other thing, G-Sync requires an Nvidea GeForce GPU.  An AMD Radeon GPU will not work with G-Sync.  There is an equivalent monitor that Acer makes that works with the Radeons.  So make sure you pick the right one.

Question 2

What are the usb ports on the back for ?

Accepted Answer

The four high-speed USB 3.0 ports allow you to connect peripherals such as mouse, keyboard, gaming headset and mobile. Plus, you can charge your smartphone or other portable device.

Question 3

Any of you guys found a good desk mounted monitor arm that will work with 1 or 2 of these??

Accepted Answer

I have the Monoprice 115525 Dual Monitor Adjustable Gas Spring Desk Mount. I currently have a Acer CZ340CK ultrawide and based on my measurements it can fit 2 of these but until I get another ultrawide monitor I can't confirm 100%.

Question 4

Not monitor savvy. This work good for a 1080 ti?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it works great actually! Though in some unoptimized games you won't hit 100fps (that could just be my 1080ti though).
