Could I push a 1440p ultrawide?

[Oldaccount1234123]

Hello LTT community!

 

Quick question, I was wondering if I would be able to easily push a 1440p 34 inch ultrawide such as the Dell U3415W. 

 

I mainly play CS:GO, Dota and Arma 3 and Star Citizen. I know I can run the first two fine, but the others I am hesitant about. I have an i7 6700k and 980 Ti.

 

My standard FPS is around:

 

Arma 3 single player: 60fps

Arma 3 multiplayer: 20 - 40fps (Only 20 when in the main city during peak hours)

Star citizen single player: 50 fps

Star citizen multiplayer: 20 fps.

 

Do you think that an ultrawide is worth it? Or should I just get a normal widescreen 1440p display such as the pg279q

 

Thanks!

yes you could push it and yes it is worth it. Ultrawides are great for movies, games, productivity and much much more. once you go ultrawide you never go back. as long as you have the space lol

 

PS i push a 1080p ultrawide with an i5 4460 and a gtx 960

Arma 3 is very badly optimised and very very CPU heavy so you will be fine  

 

With a 6700k and 980ti, you should will be able to push 3440x1440

Normal because ultrawide support is shit and many games dont support it

 

also not a fan of ultrawide (although great for movies and productivity)

My main system has same CPU and GPU, but I'm on the other side of the fence in space games with Elite Dangerous. I will say for that, the experience with a ultra-wide is definitely worth it. I have the LG one (3440x1440). I do wish I had a faster GPU at times but I wouldn't give up the monitor even if I drop to 30fps. Mine doesn't have G-sync and I think that would have helped at the lower framerate situations.

You will have to lower few settings in few most demanding games like Witcher 3 if you want to maintain 60 FPS, but very most of games will run maxed out no problem. If you are not super picky about performance, which you are not if you accept playing in 20-40 FPS range, I wouldn't even look on game that runs like this, you will have no problems. 

There are already so many videos and guides about ultrawides so there is no point on writing anything about "is it worth it" and etc.
