Hi all,

I have a question about getting a ultra wide. So I'm about to build your latest rig and I'm looking at the 1440 ultra wide 21:9 screens.

I'm new to them so sorry if this sounds daft. Would a 1070 have a harder time running games at this size over a 4K 16:9 ?

I'm struggling to make a decent comparison between 21:9 in any spec, 16:9 4K or a 16:9 1080p

If anyone could give me an objective breakdown then that would be amazing.

Want to make sure my setup is worth it before buying. Most games are play at Cod type first person titles.
Thanks all
Theo
 
My 1080 handles 3440x1440 just fine with pretty much all games totally maxed except AA. Gsync is a must though as it makes the really demanding games much smoother when the frames get lower. I have the X34 and I love it. Its still very pretty but is easier to run than 4k and the ultrawide aspect is much better and more immersive than 16:9
 
Had no problems running games with a 1070 on an x34 myself.I have 2 in sli but disabled one to check performance of the single card and it was good.Play fps games myself.Bf4 etc.
 
Thank you so much for the info guys.
So i want to keep the spend around the £700 mark. LG have a LG 34UC98 Its a full 1440 rez. at around that price(shame they are not on overlockers). only downside is thats its free sync not G sync. Are there any standout models in that price range that i could consider ?

as a point of reference what would be a good 16:9 to compare with ?

can't wait to order, just don't know what yet haha.

Thanks all
Theo
