ULTRAWIDE aspec ratio

[andes21]

hey guy torn apart I am a a computer engineer and I make apps for a company my personal rig is gear exactly for what I need and my gaming is not extreme my heaviest game I push to my system is Star Craft 2 so now why Am I posting this is simple I am looking to upgrade my monitor setting I have a single 23 inch 1080p acer TN panel I am fine with the color since I am unable to tell color apart, there was one time I bought a pair of shorts and thought they were gray but there were green, so my question is if I buy a 21:9 aspect ratio with a 2560x1080 and using my 23 inch as a portrait monitor would buying a 780Ti would be too much? mind you I use Nvidia because I run my system in linux and their driver support is better than AMD right now

with that Res a 780 6gb or 780ti would do well.

It's not really that much harder to run than a 1080p monitor so you'd be fine with a 780. It's not like you'd be running multiple monitors while gaming since I don't think that would be supported.

In the future you might want to use more punctuation, your post is a little hard to read as a giant run on sentence

If you play mostly starcraft 2 you will have to play it with black bars on the side, since that game doesnt support ultra wide def, because they consider it an unfair advantage in competitive play.

for general use, productivity, and other games you'll be fine.

a 780 and up should have no problems with that resolution, though try to get a card with 3gb up of vram.

I understand that you are asking a good question, but please take the time to properly punctuate your sentences, it makes it easier for us to read.

 

 

Thanks.

Thanks for the constructive criticism yeah I am going for the 780 then

Bear in mind the resolution is only 33% higher on a 2560x1080p monitor, so you don't need anything record breaking. A 780 is plenty

they are actually pretty easy to run, you don't need a 780ti for it, however if you have the option I would say get the 780ti because I always say you should go for the best you can possibly afford.

That is true but now that I went to another forum it said that Star Craft 2 will not run in a 21:9 ratio and I don't want the black bars on the side so then I went to compare the prices of 21:9 vs 2560x1440 16:9 monitor and I saw they are pretty much the same....

 

make sense to actually just get the 1440p and get the 780 with 4GB because I will be using a 1080p in portrait mode

Uh, there's no 4GB GTX780, it comes with 'only' 3GB....
