just did a quick search on youtube and you can find several reviews of a 1070 running at that resolution. Here's one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-ObmAe6hPU
By the looks of it, it seems it's good enough.

You'll be using limited AA and turning down a few settings here and there to maintain 60 FPS in many titles.
At 60 FPS, I would say a 1070 is decent at this resolution. A 1080 is much more powerful though, and I would recommend that for 100hz monitors.
Thanks for the input.
It does seem that the 1070 is just about enough to run at this res with most of the candy turned on but my concern is that, if it's only just good enough now, newer games are only going to struggle more. Thinking the 1080, pricey as it is, might give me a bit more longevity.

100% correct sir. with a 1080 you'll be safe for years to come.

Think I'm about to have a little "accident"
you mean like .. "oops I pushed the buy button totally by mistake?

you can always just phone CS, I am sure they can take orders over phone as well.

This my 980ti is still going strong running games at 3440x1440.

You have three choices
buy a 1080 now and enjoy (can max siege at 100fps 3440x1440, give you a steady 60fps on witcher 3, as long as your willing to tweak settings will serve you well for the next 2+ years)
or buy a used 980ti (this is still a beast) and wait for the 1080ti
open a savings account and become a monk

Well it's all relative and a question of what settings and framerates you want or are prepared to accept.
From what I could tell, at this resolution, it does appear that the 1080 manages to comfortably exceed 60fps in most games whereas the 1070 struggles a bit more to manage this. Of course that's not to say sub-60fps is unplayable or anything like that, but I do consider it to be a bit of a "threshold".
In the end I just said "screw it" and the 1080 is on the way

Well obviously if a 1080Ti appears soon for the same money I'll be well cheesed off but these are the gambles we take. I personally don't believe there will be a Ti any time soon as the 980Ti was a response to the Fury-X so we won't see a 1080Ti until AMD can beat the 1080.
Money-wise I can afford this stuff without any problems so it's just a case of justifying it to myself. In some ways it'd be easier if I didn't have the money as the decision would be taken for me

whatever we do, in a few months something better will turn up, so I suggest just enjoy your 1080 and if a 1080TI does appear, just ignore it. It's not like you will have issues with any game any time soon.
or you can do what I plan to do, sell the 1080 before TI hits the market and then buy again. You can justify it as an upgrade to a card which can do 4k quite nicely

Let's hope he didn't mean whoopsie I filled my man-nappy.
Same here.

3440x1440 is the sweet spot for resolution and performance with a single decent GPU imo. Running an OC 980Ti. No plans to upgrade this year.
