GPU for 1440p gaming

[mwthomas10]

What gpu should I get for gaming at 2560x1600 (just over 1440p)?  I will be playing Minecraft, World of Tanks, War Thunder, World of Warships, Armored Warfare, things like that...I don't think they are very intensive.  I have only one requirement.  It must be Nvidia, due to drivers and support for my specific situation.  Don't ask, I don't want to explain.  Thanks!!!

Edit: I'm looking to spend as little as possible, thanks!

GTX 980

 

for light gaming @ 1440p 970 might do it

Overkill for what the OP has listed.

 

Something along the lines of a 270x should be plenty.

290X 4gb or 8gb, 980, 970, 780ti, 780, 295x2, pick your poison, they'll all get the job done well.

970 or a 4GB 960

if you can find a 4GB 770 used for cheap then grab it

That's.. strange. 

In that case, something like a 760 should be good.

[Enderman]

how much do you want to spend? 970/780ti>780>770>960

[kelc210]

Those seem like pretty low demand games, so the 970 should cut it, but you could go for the 980 just to be safe.

[Samsterstorm]

I would go for a 980 at that resoloution! I dont consider it overkill and why not go overkill!

If hes going to put that in use as a egpu for the mackbookpro it works better with nvidia i suppose

Yeah finally someone who is paying attention. Even a 680 would be fine since they are pretty cheap nowadays

Ahh, I didn't notice that in the sig. 

[IMPERIUS]

960 will do it

970 is perfect 1440p monitor (60hz)

 

980 would be pefect 1600p monitor

[Doughnutnator]

Light 1440p gaming

2-4GB 960 or 2-4GB 770.

[broberg1212]

I think a GTX 960 should do the job.

[rottensuushi]

I personally recommend a gtx 980, or maybe even an r9 290x, considering they're so cheap right now

[rottensuushi]

Or if not that, a gtx 970. for games like those, but i personally would reccomend you get a 980. Im using one for 1080p 144hz, and its great. OCs like a boss

[sgloux3470]

R9 290.

[Kloud]

You guys are going hardcore overboard on this. The games he listed are very light, no way in hell he needs a $600 Graphics card.
