yea, because its totally worth to get a 15% faster card that cant be paired with the current one......

The way OP worded himself is he just got the 970 and does not enjoy it, he most likely can still return it and get his money back.

You're correct

I am returning the 970 and thinking about the 980ti since it's only $250 more.

Thoughts ?

Rather not do sli or crossfire since I've heard bad stories about it.

It's only a 1080p display, a 970 should be more than OK. What CPU do you have?

Those bad stories come from people who had a look at it a decade ago and haven't tried it again since.

I have the lg 34UM64-P 2560 x1080

Vertical Refresh Rate 50 - 75 Hz

Horizontal Refresh Rate 30 - 90 kHz

What video card do you suggest

Tried the 970 but I wasn't getting the performance I was expecting

Might of been a bad card.

Thanks in advance !

390X should be your best answer.

 

as a rule of thumb. AMD generally does better at higher resolutions. So if you are running 1440p or higher (like 3440x1440 or 4k) then AMD usually have the better solution FPS, AND price wise.

 

EDIT:

2580x1080p - AMD R9 390 or AMD R9 390X will be your best bet. Overclock a 390, or a stock 390X, ofc you can also overclock the 390X for even better performance

 

Brands to shop by when getting AMD:

Best performance and cooling: Sapphire and MSI

Best "middleground": Powercolor, Gigabyte, Club3D

Best customer service: XFX

Wildcard: Asus (never trust their coolers)

Current setup

r9 390 performs exactly the same as a slightly oc'd 970

I agree with you in regards to the 390x being the best bet.

 

"as a rule of thumb. AMD generally does better at higher resolutions. So if you are running 1440p or higher (like 3440x1440 or 4k) then AMD usually have the better solution FPS, AND price wise."

 

Crossfire vs SLI, yes, I also agree towards AMD.  But to say this for a single card solution and as a blanket statement is STUPID.  Plain and simple.  Reading a lot of comments coming from you leads me to believe you are fanboying it up.  Fury X vs 980 Ti @ 4k  Clearly shows that is very close but 980 Ti still leads on average.  Some games lead towards Fury X. (FC4 and Shadow of Mordor)  Again this can be subjective because different people will get different cards and overclock differently.

At this point I could care less anymore if I was being rude.

You may think I am leaning towards NVIDIA?  I could give a shit.  I buy whatever is faster.  But to say ""as a rule of thumb. AMD generally does better at higher resolutions. So if you are running 1440p or higher (like 3440x1440 or 4k) then AMD usually have the better solution FPS, AND price wise" is complete ignorance and toxic. You also said "usually" (taken with a grain of salt) so it could be interpreted as in general, AMD is better for higher resolutions.  

 

OT:  I used to have a 2560x1080 monitor.  You would do quite well with a 390 or 390X.  I do not recommend the 980 or even 970. 

I have a potato!
