Gaming on a budget

[Carnoustie14]

I am thinking of getting one of those 1440p Korean monitors but can only afford a 960 (22 Jan

would a GTX 960 (performance of 770) handle a 1440p?

 

if not could i scale games down 10 1080p on a 1440p monitor

hard to tell. it probably will. but we have to wait to see.

Probably.

The 770 does pretty decently at 1440p so the 960 would probably be fine considering newer cards are being made with higher resolutions in mind. Just don't expect to be able to play everything at high settings.

I'd imagine the 970 would be better for 1440p and the 960 would be a decent GPU for 1080p.

IHMO, i think you should just save a few more bucks and get a 970. It's a 1440p card, it's gonna wreak at 1440p.

I have a GTX 770 and it does a great job at 1080p. Assuming the 960 will have the power of a 770, if you lower the settings, it should be fine, but don't expect to have great graphics and 60fps everytime. This depends on the games you play.
