Recommendations for 34UM95

[plciula]

Hi all,

 

I'll be getting a 34UM95 soon, but I don't think my hardware will be able to run at native res for it.

My setup runs:

-Intel H77

-AMD HD Raedon 7870

-i7-3770 @3.4

-16 GB DDR3

-460W PSU

 

Would this hardware work to comfortably run the 34UM95 at native?

If not, what should I get to help it along?

 

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure the 7870 only supports a maximum resolution of 2560x1600. I wouldn't use a low end GPU to power a 1440p display anyway, you'd be getting pretty horrible fps.

So I actually own the 34um95 and game on it.

 

My current rig has an i7 2700k and a gtx 680 2GB in it. I can run most games that support 3440x1440 on high with AA completely off. Any game that doesnt support the resolution I just turn it down to 2560x1440 and that will display pixel perfectly with black bars on the side depending on what your display settings are. The display UI has some amazing features in it that I recommend taking a look at. There are two aspect ratio settings that I like the most, original and 1to1. Original will scale up content to fit the screen without stretching it. 1to1 will display the content given exactly as it is sent. So if you're viewing some 1080p content and you want to view it at exactly 1080p you can do so. The resulting image area however is a fraction of the total screen space. My personal preference is "Original", but I will occasionally switch to 1to1 for older content.

 

I was playing Star wars battlefront 2 over the weekend on it in a 4:3 aspect ratio and it looked great! Really any resolution thats smaller than its own in any dimension it can handle flawlessly.

Thanks for replying so fast!

I think, I'm gonna get the monitor first, and then see how everything goes.
