Can my gpu run 2K?

Newegg has this 21:9 2K ultra wide monitor on sale for Black Friday.

I'm concerned my gpu won't be able to run it. I have an EVGA GTX 750 ti SC. I still want to get 60 frames; would it be possible to run the monitor at a lower resolution, or is it just a better deal to get a 1080 16:9 monitor? I'd rather not have to buy a new gpu with the new monitor. Thanks! Happy thanksgiving.

This would be another monitor I could buy (also on Black Friday sale). My budget for a monitor is $150 by the way.

maybe older games will work , but i doubt a 750 ti could run games at 2560*1080 at 60 fps without dropping everything down to low-med.

That gpu already struggles to run modern games at 1920*1080 at 60 fps , so save your money and  maybe get a 16:9 display

personally i would go with the asus 28" 1080p.... until you upgrade to a better card youd best play it safe

So far the toughest game I'm running is fallout 4. What do you think?

Your GPU can drive ultra wide 2k, but probably not on any demanding games. 

 

You could get the 1080p monitor and then put the test towards saving up for a new GPU, or you could get the ultra wide monitor, then start saving up for a new GPU.

Personally I wouldn't understand why you would run it at a lower resolution. It's a waste of money. You may as well just get a lower resolution display - the card is probably not going to net you 60FPS unless you're willing to turn down in-game settings.

You're not running that game at 60FPS at that resolution.
