Gpu for 3440 x 1440

[cadefoster]

I've recently upgraded to a 3440 x 1440p ultrawide display and found out that my current 970 no longer cuts it. I'm just looking to get some thoughts on how current hardware will handle games at that resolution? it's a 60hz monitor so I'm just looking to get a solid 60fps Would a 1080 or 1080ti be enough for current and future games? or would waiting for the 11 series be a safer bet?

If you want to maximize settings in demanding titles at that resolution, the 1080 ti will do it. The 1080 will be close, averaging high 50's.

On medium settings, a 1070 could push 60fps at that resolution.

Cheers!

wait

I'd say wait because the new 11 series is supposedly coming soon....

thanks for the input. I know current cards will probably handle most games just fine at 3440 x 1440, but i'm a little worried it might be a stretch for future graphically demanding games. I think i'll do my best to wait and see what the new series has to offer. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.
