Is it an ideal card for the monitor?

That's a loaded question. It can generate 60+ fps in 3440x1440 resolution but that monitor is capable of displaying up to 120fps and for that you will need something stronger, like a 1080ti (or a 2080 if you're looking at current GPU generation).

 

So going by the definition of the word "ideal" (as in, perfect under any circumstance) - no, it isn't because it can't utilize the refresh rate fully in high/ultra settings of more demanding AAA games. 

 

But it doesn't mean it's a bad fit. If you are not playing on ultra but a slider or two lower (high) and less demanding games then a 2070 will generate about 80-100 fps or about 60 for those that are harder to run which you seem to be perfectly fine with.

 

A good rule of thumb would be to check the benchmarks for 2070 and take the 1440p resolution and then decrease the FPS by about 30-35% (Alienware has about this many pixels more).

Hi guys...

 

Is RTX 2070 enough to run the Alienware AW3418DW ultrawide monitor at 60+ FPS on most game?
