Couldn't I just bring the resolution down to 2560x1080 in games with the 1440 monitor? Or does it not do a good job at scaling down to that?

Yeah sorry, I should have included the links on my original post. Here is the 2560x1080 one: http://www.buydig.com/shop/product/LG34UM57/34UM57-34-UltraWide-219-IPS-WFHD-LED-Cinema-Screen-Computer-Gaming-Monitor (there is a coupon that brings the price down $100) 3440x1440 one: http://www.adorama.com/LOT34UM95C.html?emailprice=t&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_source=rflaid62905&cvosrc=affiliate.62905 And sorry for the spam of posts on other forums ha. I wasn't getting many answers at the time, and I am looking to make the purchase today since I don't know how long these sales will go on for. Thanks again for the help

Hi All! So I am pretty lost on which of these two monitor options I should go with. I am looking at the following two monitors: LG 34UM57 - 34" UltraWide (2560x1080): $367.00 LG 34UM95C-P (3400x1440): $569.00 Obviously, the 3440x1440 seems tempting but it is obviously ~$200 more and in my current system I only have one MSI R9 280X graphics card. If I bought the 1440 monitor it would probably be a few months before I could upgrade the graphics card to say a GTX 980. The main usage for this monitor will be for productivity and gaming (games such as GTA V, Fallout 4, and some indie games). Any help is much appreciated!
