1440P

[iAveex]

Would a Sapphire Radeon R9 280 be able to run games like tomb raider and Battlefield 4 at 1440P, doesn't have to be at 90 FPS or any crazy number like that. And if can handle games at 1440P, do you have any suggestions for good monitors at good prices ?

i guess it can handle it but to get acceptable fps you would need to cranck settings down to medium..

 

as far as monitors go i dont know

Yes it will be enough for high/ultra no AA (assuming you have a decent CPU of course).

Not sure what 1440p monitor to recommend. Most people seem to really like the PB278Q

Sorry no it doesn't maybe BF4 acceptable in medium to high setting due to mantle. But for high/ultra you will ne a R9 290 or GTX970 at least to get enjoyable FPS.

 

I've had the Asus PB278Q myself and it is one beautiful monitor. 1440p with IPS looks amazing.

These settings on tomb raider I got about 50-60fps (1440p R9 270)

 

BF4 High 1440p no AA I believe I get around 50+ fps 64p Golmud Runway but I don't feel like opening it up right now.

And have you tried to run anything like TheCrew, Star Citizen or DA:I on it? I assure you in modern titles you won't have 40+ FPS with a R9 280 and never with a R9 270X.

 

BF4 is not the standard for highend game benchmarking anymore. It's still good graphics but with games like GTA V around the corner you will need a lot more GPU power to get accfeptable frames in 1440p.

OP specifically stated Tomb Raider and BF4, which is what I based my statement off of (I don't have the games you listed/any brand new AAA games so I can't test them).

770=about 280x

im running slightly more pixels than 1440, runs everything great at good fps and settings, so in short it should be as long as you can handle dips to 30fps in games such as metro LL

 

if it doesn't suffice you, overclock the F**k out of it

Right I saw that, but you know how it is. You do not play specifically only 1 or 2 games forever and then they buy some new AAA titles come back here to the forums and complain how bad the recommendation was .

If it's just about BF4 I wouldn't go to a 1440p monitor, if someone is totally in FPS shooter and you can't afford the RoG Swift inclusive the GPU horse power I'd rather go to 1080p 144Hz and enjoy the smooth performance.
