New Graphics Card (Please Help)

[RaptorCock]

Hi, I need me a new graphics card for christmas, one that can smoothly run at least 1440p.

Anywhere less than or near $400

I am currently thinking about 1060 but I dont think that can even run 1440p

A GTX 1070 or a used Fury X/980 Ti

1070 its a sweet spot for 1440p i have one highly recommended.

Even a 1060 would be an upgrade. What's your CPU and PSU?

just double checking if you have enough power for a new gpu. (please do check it properly)

A 1070 go as low as under $400

I'd get a 480 for 1440p (1440p is 2.5k btw, technically 1080p is 2k)

Damn, looks like I'll stick with the 1070, then, I really need an upgrade from 1080p...

A 480? What do you mean? AMD?

 

EDIT Nevermind

yeah would be nice with freesync monitor though some heavy games like crysis might not perform good enough at 1440p
