1440p monitor + gtx970 1 or 2?

[Peanut2013uk]

so im thinking about getting a 1440p monitor, am I good on ultra with the GTX 970 g1 gaming? or shall I SLi 2 of them for effect?

That depends on the game, i would say most games are not going to be able to keep a steady 60fps with one 970 at maxed settings at 1440p but other less demanding games probably can. So if your dead set on playing on ultra in every game at a good frame rate you are going to need two 970s.

I'm doing pretty well with a single GTX 780 at 1440p. Here is a great benchmark comparison. Note that in this comparison all the setting in each game are completely maxed out so even at 1080p you would probably not be using these settings.

You will be fine with one, if you feel you need more then get a second one down the road. But for most games the 970 and 1440p match up very nicely.

I like to play all new games in ultra this card is awesome with farcry 4 etc. and I want to play the new starwars max at 1440p so ill get another gtx 970
