ultrawide?

[d00m1ord]

hi 

 

I am looking at getting a new monitor for my gaming pc and im drawn to an ultrawide but ive never seen one in person and so im not sure if they are any good for gaming or if my machine can even cope with gaming on a display that size I think my graphics card will be fine but I don't know if my cpu would be a problem. Here is what im running

 

CPU: intel core i7 4790k

MOTHERBOARD: msi z97 gaming 5

GRAPHICS: gtx 1080 ti

 

any help is appreciated

your cpu is fine but you should really find a store that has them on display to see if you like them. very subjective, i love them others hate them. 3840X1440 would be a good resolution for your specs. You can almost always make games work with them. If youre an esports type of person you might like 16x9 more.
