Yes!  Don't even need the 4GB version.  If you turn all your settings to their max, your min FPS will dip down into the low 20's at time but that's minimum and not average.  Talking about intense games like Metro 2033 or Crysis 3.  I recommend the ASUS 1440p...excellent monitor with low latency and amazing colors.

My Stuff:  Corsair Obisidan 550D - Phobya Nano-2G 120mm x 5 - Corsair H100i - MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming - Intel 3570K - G.Skill 8GBx2 1866 - EVGA ACX GTX 780 3GB SuperClocked(Step Up to 780 Ti) - Samsung 840 500GB SSD - WD Black 1TB x 2 - LG Blu-ray - ASUS VG248QE + ASUS PB278Q - Corsair M65 with MM400 Pad - Ducky Shine II MX Brown with Gray/White Keycaps - Corsair K70 MX Red - CoolerMaster Quickfire TK MX Brown - Ducky Pro2 MX Blue with Gray PBT Keycaps - Ducky Pro2 MX Clears with Gray/Blue PBT Keycaps - Ducky Pro2 MX Browns with Light Gray and White PBT Keycaps

I really would suggest the 4 gig version for 1440p.

games that use large amounts of vram like crysis 3 use about 1.7 - 2 gigs of ram at 1080p. double that and you get about 4 gigs of ram needed to power 1440p. (1440p is regarded as 2.5k / two and a half times the pixels to 1080p.

The first step to insanity is believing in your sanity.

what If the most demanding game I play is Far cry 3?

 

Single R7970 with 3GB will do you best IMO when you consider the price.  For very little more you can get the MSI one for $400.00.

I second this! Plus you get another 3 free games to go along with your beast of a card.

 

It overclocks like a mothertrucker too.
