2k vs GTX 970

[RaptorCock]

I got a GTX 970 over a year ago, went from 900p to 1080p. I just want to be sure, can I get a 1440p monitor? Can my graphics card handle it on at least 50-60 fps? If so what monitor. Keep it a low price. Like below $350 - 370

VRAM might be an issue. You'd need to drop settings to medium-high

it will handle it, but not in ultra settings.

Is that a bad thing? Will it still look and run good?

on high yeah, not ultra

if you go over 3.5GB of VRAM games will be unplayable

i got 2 1440p monitors and a gtx970 and it works great. 

I usally play on one monitor while the other one is either idle or playing youtube videos or something.

 

I never had any issues plaing games like Fallout 4 or Witcher 3.

Lets say GTA v high settings will it be at least 50 FPS and look much better than 1080

see if you can find some benchmarks

a GTX 970 can do 1440p... Decently. The VRAM might be a problem in some games and generally it might not handle it in all games (note that I said not in all games, there are plenty of games that are still very playable, especailly if you drop down to medium-high).

I have always said this and will still say it: R9 390x and GTX 980 are likely best bang for buck 1440p cards, but if you got the $$$ to go for a Fury X or 980 Ti: they will perform awesome too.

 

Anyways, that was kinda off topic.. Yes, you can play in 1440p in most games on High or some on Medium

That means no point in 1440p if its pretty much downgrade

it's a severe downgrade.

Yes but watch out for the 3.5 GB VRAM
