Hey, I'm looking to buy a graphics card that will be able to run gta 5, shadow of mordor, skyrim etc. on 1440p ultra settings at 60+ fps. Which card would you recommend out of the 970 and 980? Will the 3.5 vram fiasco affect me gaming at 1440p? Also would you mind seeing which graphics card would fit me best from this website: http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/components-upgrades/graphic-tv-cards/graphics-cards/324_3091_30343_xx_xx/xx-criteria.html

For 1440p 3,5 GB VRM is fine (well I have no expirience with shadow of mordor). When you have the money go with two GTX 970, if not get a GTX 980. The best bang for the buck will be one GTX 970 but you may only reach around 30 - 40 FPS

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil

The best bang for the buck is actually the 290(X).

But for 1440p I'd say 980 if OP wants to stick with housefire woodscrews team.

That's only with the HD texture pack.

 

I'm getting 2 way SLI Titan X. Good luck on your choice OP.
