3440x1440 GPU Selection

I'm only going to be playing games like LoL, CSGO, Smite, Payday 2, which run fine on my 750Ti at 1080p. If I get 3440 ULTRAWIDE 21:9 as my new gaming monitor, do you think I could run those games at native resolution with maybe like a 960 or 970? Is there an AMD equivalent that is a good 3440 ULTRAWIDE choice?

 

note I have a Skylake i5, so bottleneck ing is not an issue nor is power an issue.

Is it just these games?? Cause if u want 60fps then u will need a 980.... And for AAA games at 60fps an overclocked 980ti would be the best choice

Budget? But my only choice if you want to not worry is a 980ti.

The first 3 games will probably run fine on a 960 at that resolution. Payday you'd have to drop some settings.

1440p - 390 is the best value
980 Ti or Fury X for best performance

Best of the best with no compromises in FPS and quality -GTX 980Ti

 

Most sensible choice if you're on a budget - R9 390

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

I would be picking a R9 390, or 980ti. I have a 3440x1440 running on SLI 970s and AAA games get 60-80FPS (Witcher 3, Fallout 4)

go ahead and get a 980Ti if you ever start getting into AAA titles. Even then they won't run at max settings.

~` please , don't let my whole life burn down `~

- why can't i just focus right now? -

; i'm tired ;

How do you think a 970 would perform alone? Or versus a single 390?

League and CSGO you would be able to get over 60 fps easy but anything remotely hard to run they will fall on there face pretty much with the settings turned up to high/ultra.

I'd only consider a 980ti capable of that resolution.

Okay, thank, Im fine with lowering settings as long as I stay at native resolution

390 would perform better, and you'd have the benefit of 8GB VRAM vs 3.5GB that the 970 has. 

 

A single 970 would run Dota, LoL, and CSGO fine at 60fps but anything other than that and you'd be having troubles.

Nothing that you'd notice. Just make sure you have plenty of case airflow and room around the card. Look at Sapphire, Asus, and MSI for your brand choices as they all have good coolers and custom PCBs.
