What is the best card for 1440p

[Whorax]

Titan X is the best. B)

I wouldn't say it's unreasonable overkill, personally. At 1440p a lone Titan X will usually ensure you're reaching 60–80 FPS in most games, so you can be confident you're not going to have to compromise on visual quality. But I think I'd go with a 970 or 980, personally.

 

The Titan X is in kind of a weird place where it's probably more than you need for 1440p, but a lone Titan X cannot ensure 60 FPS in all new games at 4K.

I agree TiX is in one of these "weird" posts for Price / Resolution areas personally I would wait for the R9 3XX to roll out given the new niche form factor cutting PCB size dramatically and I hear the Air cooling issue is resolved, failing that get the WCE But 980 would be the best if they are buying ASAP or two  970s. /R9 290X's

Well he also mentioned that SLI is fine, so why the hell do you recommend titan X while 980 SLI performs A LOT better?

@ OP, trust me a single 980 will do just fine.

SLI is fine? Then SLI Titan X

[vembutech]

Titan X is definitely fine i think.

295X2 or Titan X

SLI is fine? Then SLI Titan X

 

Imagine the FPS on 144p with SLI titans

I have dual Titan X's for 3440x1440... but it ensures 100fps maxed in everything.

Always get the single best GPU you can afford. Either 980 or Titan X would be my choice. When you overclock the Titan X is comes damn near close to a 980 SLI and often beats a 970 SLI. I don't really care if 980 SLI beats it for the same price because all it takes is that one game with no SLI support or bad support for the Titan X to destroy it. I'd avoid the 970 because of the whole 3.5GB VRAM issue because games are only going to get more memory hungry and 3GB is already not enough at 1440p so 3.5GB won't be far behind.
