Adding New 2560x1440p monitor to build with R9380X?

[nevets_1917]

I'm not sure quite where to post this so will go here

 

I am considering purchasing an additional monitor (to become primary) but am slightly nervous about having sufficient graphics horsepower to drive it at reasonable fps.  

 

I'll start by defining reasonable (preferrably 45-60fps on max or a tier under max graphics)

I would probably turn all AA off at 1440p

 

From my research 1440p is definitely doable on a 380X.  Benchmarks in games suggested 40-50FPS.

 

I tried dynamic super resolution (just as a way to load my gpu some more)  in GTA V and was getting a solid 70-80FPS at 1080P.

 

I am in New Zealand looking for 27 inch (can be larger) monitor at 2560x1440p. for $700NZD maximum

 

Current Rig

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 @ 3.4GHz turbo 3.9GHz

RAM: 16GB DDR3 Kingston Hyper X Fury 1600MHz

GPU: AMD Radeon Sapphire Nitro R9 380X 4GB (not overclocked currently)

HDD: 2 x 120GB SSD (Kingston SSD Now and Sandisk Ultra II  ) and WD 320GB HDD

PSU: CoolerMaster V650 Semi Modular Power Supply

 

As a tangent I did see a couple of 4K monitors with free sync for approx $650NZD second hand.  Thoughts or opinions there??

 

Recently built rig and am very happy with 1080P performance

It's totally doable on 1440p but you need to compromise some effects on heavier titles, especially ones that are badly optimized.

Nice, Cheers for input

Using DSR to simulate 1440p gives you exactly the same performance as an actual 1440p monitor, so you can use that to test your framerates.

Awesome. I wasn't sure whether it was exactly equivalent hence my apprehension about dropping more than my gpu on a new monitor
