At the desktop? 1 card will do it fine.

In the Witcher 3 and other GPU intensive games? 200 FPS (aka 200Hz) MOST emphatically NO. Not even 2 cards can. Maybe if you run lowest settings, maybe. For reference, my overclocked 980 Ti still only gets ~60 FPS when in certain areas of the Witcher 3 at 1920X1080 with max settings.

With 200Hz you mean fps. Also, the Predator Z35 can't display more than 144fps. Also, you didn't provide for which game and all that.

For me this thread is very unclear and not detailed enough to post something really helpful to. You can look up benchmarks from games they'll show you exactly how much fps you could get.

GRID Autosport gets around 130 to 150 FPS max settings at 1920X1080. Project Cars gets 80 FPS, also max settings at 1920X1080. Both with an overclocked 980 Ti.

SLI 980 Ti's should get you over 200 on GRID Autosport, but you'd have to lower settings to get that high in Project Cars.

The 2560 x 1440 Z35 can in fact do 200 Hz (165 OC'd) .... it's the latest generation from 60 - 75 -100 - 120 - 144 - 165 - 200.

They significance of that 165 (200 Hz OC) capability is that it can use ULMB at 120 Hz. It's not really worth having a monitor with ULMB unless ya can us it.... and that means staying above 70 Hz or so.

As to the OP's question, I'll make the obvious assumption in that we are talking about Gaming. The Z35's curved screen and 120 Hz ULMB capability adds a lot to the Gaming experience, but in many aspects, it doesn't stand up to the XB270HU

In other aspects of gaming the screen struggled a bit though. The response times were ok overall but some transitions caused problems and were very slow. You end up with obvious dark smearing and blurring in certain circumstances which is a shame, and at the moment a limitation of VA technology it seems. The additional ULMB was very good at improving motion clarity and did help cut back some of that smearing if you want to use that feature. The very high refresh rates enabled by the overclocking feature couldn't really be fully realised though sadly, as we felt that response times were just not fast enough to handle the frame rate demands, and the overshoot introduced by the aggressive overdrive circuit was too obvious. It's still very capable as a VA option with a high refresh rate of 120Hz, with G-sync and ULMB support but the 200Hz overclocking feature couldn't quite keep up sadly.

Lag is 7.17 ms as compared w/ the XB270HU's 3.0

As for fps at the monitor's resolution:

Witcher 3 goes from 46.7 fps to 71.2 fps with the and card
GTAV goes from 48.6 fps to 74.0 fps with the and card
Hitman Absolution goes from 65.7 fps to 104.8 fps with the and card
MetroLL goes from 70.6 fps to 106.3 fps with the and card
Shadow of Mordor goes from 83 fps to 138 fps with the and card
Tomb Raider goes from 89.5 fps to 173.1 fps with the and card

Right now I still like the XB270HU version 2.5 or newer with the 165 Hz refresh rate that also allows ULMB at 120 Hz. Another is the Asus PG279Q

I was planning to use this for a racing simulator but now what should I do. I'm planning to get 2 ASUS 980 Ti Strix's

I was thinking about two ASUS PB328Q's, would that be better? Feel free to leave any other suggestions.

For gaming, two monitors is difficult with the two black lines splitting your FoV.

Three 1440 monitors is a tough call with 11,059,200 pixels, 33% more than 4k (8,294,400). Two 1440ps are 7,372,800 .... no pair of GPUs in production today can reliably deliver a consistent fps > 60 at 4k and and certainly not deliver it via ULMB.

Over a year ago, there were numerous articles falsely proclaiming that DP 1.3 has arrived.

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/displayport-1.3-vesa,27673.html

Yeah, it arrived written on a piece of paper as a standard but we still can't go out and buy Monitors with DP 1.3. Originally projected for release in 2014, it is finally expected to arrive with the next generation of nVidia / AMD cards . I guess the only reason a firm release date hasn't been set yet is because once an arrival date is confirmed, everyone will stop and wait for the new technology. My son has a XB270HU and it is incredible. His room mate has a 34" curved 3440 x 1440 LG which is also very nice, they each have different pluses and minuses but if I had to choose, I like the flat Acer better. Until DP 1.3 arrives, to my eyes its between the Acer XB270HU and the Asus PG279Q

I'm still confused. For a custom DIY Motion racing simulator what should I do?
