Hello,

 

I am considering buying a ultrawide screen. I am going to use it as a gaming and working monitor. Right now I am thinking of buying a Samsung C34F791. But I am not sure about if my pc is capable of using the screen. I have a asus rog gr8 II T022Z. Hope someone is able to help me :)

Not really... 

You seem to have only a 1060 3GB in there, and the monitor has a resolution of 3440x1440. You may be able to play games but dont expect more than lowest settings in demanding games

If its only a productivity workstation, it will work just fine

yes but running at 1720x720 would be fine. if he is a few feet away it wont make much of a difference.

ehm are you serious?

you don't buy a monitor with that res to play at half the resolution ( if it is even supported...)

For that he does not need to get a monitor worth the price he roughly paid for the asus thingy pc

He'd be better off with a 28"/29" inch ultrawide with 2560x1080 if he really wants to have an ultrawide.

Thanks, Any better recommendations. Preferably a Samsung since I'm able to get them cheaper.
