Been there done that. Still alive to tell you that nothing happens if you turn it down a couple of notches.

They said somewhere that there will be a flat one too.
Curved.
And Freesync only....
Actually looking atm, almost all upcoming monitors are Freesync either with DP 1.2a/1.3 either with HDMI2.0

So two days ago when I got back home from work, turned on my rig and started browsing the internet I've noticed that:
Yup my 1080p gsync monitor has a horrible 4 pixel sized scuff in it that no one knows anything about.
I can't live with something like that so today I pulled the trigger on Predator x34A since it was the only monitor that I would upgrade to.
So now I'm wondering how will my 980ti cope with 3440x1440 resolution.
It's clocked at 1500/8000.
Anyone here running that resolution with 980ti.?

Yup, I have done. Generally you'll be fine, with the occasional knocking down of settings slightly

Cool I hope I won't be disappointed. I can live with 40+ fps and gsync for now and will probably get a second 980ti at some point or upgrade to 1080ti when/if that gets released.
Works fine for me every time although, with everything dialed up to max, it's about the only thing that makes my 1080 sweat.
Been waiting for the 144hz lg monitor but its freesync. Will be upgrading my GPUs in the next 6 months so may have to consider AMD card.

Bought a LG 34UC88 for my birthday on Friday. Promised myself that I wouldn't use it until then. It arrived today and I took it out of the box to inspect it and oh boy is it impressive looking. I just sat it on my desk and stared at it for 10 minutes. Wasn't even plugged in!

Life's too short man, treat yourself to an extra day
Must resist...
Delayed gratification and all that!
The only thing with owning an ultrawide is that now I have to upgrade the rest of my hardware. My 2500K and 290X have been just fine for 1080p but I have a feeling it will struggle with the higher resolution.
In a way it is a good thing as I love PC building but there has been no reason for me to spend any money upgrading because nothing really demanded it.
P.S. Mods any chance you could remove the restriction on my account? I promise to be good!
Bought the same monitor today, due for delivery tomorrow.
Can't wait to see how my 390X copes with the jump from 1080P

To the peeps who've just bought a 34uc88, you're in for a treat. I got one a few weeks back. Currently using a 390x, to take advantage of the Freesync. It does a pretty decent job, really.

Nice. It looks amazing switched off. Can't wait to see what it looks like on!
Good to know that I should get decent performance out of the old 290X!
