I7 920@ 3.6 and 970gtx

[IntelDiesel]

Anyone have a similar 920 @ 3.5 with a 970 gtx and play at 2560x1440?

Thoughts with the gpu being able to pump good fps.

Gonna wait on skylake to mature

The GPU is fine but is better suited for 1080p rather than 1440P. If you want 1440P you want a 980 or better right now.

The CPU is fine although it is a bit older and is showing its age, even Sandy Bridge is a better performer.

My old setup was a i7 930 @ 3.8. For most games it does very well at 1440p but some of the newer mor demanding games you need to reduce some settings to keep the framerate up. If you are the type that needs ultra settings at 60+fps you would want to look a the 980ti. If you can handle dropping a few settings at times then the 970 would be a good choice.
