GTX 1080 for 3440x 1440 monitor.

I am going to build a PC soon and was wondering if the gtx 1080 will deliver a pleasant experience with a 3440x1440 monitor? Thanks in advance!

Yeah. I have my portable VR rig hooked up to one right now and was playing GTA V yesterday. It was fine.

Yep I have the X34 and it will play almost everything maxed out, only exceptions so far are Witcher 3 and just cause 3, had to turn some settings down but other wise runs like a champ.

Better get a 1080 TI you have to wait anyway till prices will normalize. Atm stocks are low and prices high especially in the US. 1080 TI  will yield you around 35 % more performance than the 1080

Yup!  I can usually run everything close to max (Except the pile of garbage that is AC: Origins) and still peg my 80hz refresh rate.

I'm running a V64 and do perfectly well at staying above 60fps @ 3440x1440, So should be fine with a 1080. If you can find one with normal pricing that is lol

[Max_Settings]

It will do pretty well. Not perfect 60 fps ultra in everything, will need a 1080 ti for that.

I have an R9 290 and it hits 50-60fps at 3440 at medium-high settings depending on game. I would hope a 1080 would exceed that!

[Brett_UK]

well my 1070 runs most games 60+ fps so 1080-ti should do it no problem.

I have an Acer X34A with 1080TI, upgraded from 1080 since it can't run PUBG at 100Hz at high settings. Apart from that, GTX1080 should get you 60 FPS on most games on max settings. get 1080TI if you are aiming at 100Hz+gsync and 1080 for 60FPS normal gaming

Well that is a little less the 1080's fault and more PUBG's. Lol.

Yeah it will but depends on the game.  PUBG like people have stated is pretty poorly optimized even though NVIDIA has worked with them on this and on my previous EVGA GTX 1080 SC ACX 3.0 on a 3440x1440 100Hz monitor at High settings I was getting around 60 FPS.  With my Gigabyte G1 1070 I was getting around 50 FPS on High and my EVGA 1080 Ti SC2 Hybrid on Ultra I am getting 70-80 FPS

 

While prices for cards are all screwed up I would say if you could get a 1070 Ti for near MSRP I would go with that, it is just a dumb downed 1080 and when overclocked reaches 1080 performance, with the benefit of costing $100 or so dollars less.  Again this heavily depends on what price you can obtain a card at.

How much are you paying for the card? With the current mining boom, it might make sense to actually go 980Ti SLI.
