Will 970 SLI Be Enough?

Hey Forum

In a couple months I will be buying a Curved 34" 3440x1440p Ultrawide monitor that runs at 75hz. Right now I have one EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB FTW Edition card which is an absolute beast but I'm only running a 1920x1080 monitor. I'm just wondering and curious to whether or not throwing in another card in SLI will be enough to handle the workload. Thanks for the help!

Yes thatll be fine. A single 970 can run 1440p but not sure if the ultrawide aspect would affect much.

It will be enough, it would be enough to do 120 Hz probably, so 75 Hz is fine

I would opt for 980TI, possibly 980TI SLI... 1440p ultrawide is demanding and even x2 980TIs can struggle with certain titles.
