I have a single 970 and it drives 3440x1440 just fine - averaging 40-60fps with mostly high/ultra settings on most games (except Witcher 3 which runs at a solid 30fps). I'd say a single 980ti will be absolutely fine

@james.miller - to clarify, i cannot comment on the manufacturing process of other manufacturers once they have been given the glass. the issue with BLB does not come from the glass but when the glass is put into the monitor. at LG we have changed the process to stop this happening in most cases. Please also note that there will always be a chance that you will get some BLB with any IPS monitor, what we were having to stop was the severity we were seeing, where it was actually unuseable. this process was applied to all our 21:9 monitors, 25" to 34", and to smaller std monitors where needed.
I have light bleed on my TV at home, its not a lot, my wife cant see it, but i only know its there because of where i work! sadly its something that happens when building this type of electronic device, but what we have done is make changes to drastically cut down or eliminate it.

That's excellent news, thanks for the clarification Daniel

This just answered a question i had
Unfortunately it's now making me think i should look at a matx for SLI rather than the mini its i wanted originally :/Nox

I love how they price gouge at £1000 and then when there is competition and other panels they suddenly want to offer you a cut price deal. Ha ha ha if i had the money i would keep it firmly in my pocket out of spite.
£1000 for a monitor LOL...

My rig cost me ~2k not including the monitors. Does it not make sense to spend a good sum on the part you get 99% of the feedback from? Though I'm with you, 1k is pushing it - gouging **** =( £600 for a curved 1440UW with FreeSync and they'd fly off the shelves. £1k? Not so much, becomes more niche.
You're paying the £150 more for both FreeSync and a higher refresh rate.

I only really play FPS's, Battlefield being my main game. Will I get any motion blur with this monitor ?

I was very temped by this monitor on the 'This Week Only' special offer, but it just went out of stock and apparently they have no idea about when any more would be due.
Shame, I think I would have pulled the trigger on this today...

I've had the curved, and had 2x flat (34UM95). All apart from my current (2nd flat, which was a replacement) had obvious backlight bleed. Only this one has minimal and is barely noticeable. What they all have though is IPS glow around the corners, which shifts as you pan around the screen with your head.
Though anyone buying an IPS panel should know about IPS glow anyway so will be fully expecting this. In reality the glow is ignored very quickly by your eyes and you're more focused on the added immersion to movies and games this aspect ratio brings.
If you get one with bad backlight bleed then get it swapped, simply don't accept one with bad bleed as it's not acceptable at this price. I think I mentioned this in my series of reviews.
Personally I much prefer the non curved, in part due to having a hardware LUT, so colours are finer tuned and saved directly to the monitor when calibrated (out of box calibration is "ok", if you value accurate colours then you should buy a colorimeter...).
The factory calibration chart states it was tested with the HDMI port and the value it got. Considering these are 3440x1440 monitors, which requires the DisplayPort to be used for 60Hz, I consider that factory calibration to be a bit misleading. Moreso on the curved, as the calibrations are on a per source input basis, since it has no LUT to save directly and apply monitor wide to.
