Question Interested in Buying a Alienware AW3418DW 34'' montior...But i have a GTX 1070...

So i been saving up for a new monitor for my gaming/editing rig. I mainly play games and occasionally edit videos. I came across this monitor and i loved the specs. It has: G-SYNC/IPS panel/120hz with 3440 x 1440 resolution (2k) Ill place a link to check it our yourselves. But the thing is I have a Asus ROG Strix GTX 1070. I looked up if this GPU was strong enough for gaming on this monitor with the 1440p resolution. But just couldn't get a straight forward answer.

If the 1070 isnt strong enough I wouldnt mind getting the monitor first then upgrading my gpu in the future. If so what would be a good gpu to upgrade to? like a RTX 2070 or just get a GTX 1080?

Agreed...but do you think the GTX 1070 will supper that Alienware monitor at 1440p gaming?

1070 can run games at that resolution, you probably will need to turn down settings to medium or maybe a tad under though to get good fps. Really depends on the game and settings you are OK with.

True i wouldnt mind turning town the settings in the game. Will the G-Sync help with all that as well?

I was actually considering getting that monitor on massdrop...But some reviews are bad, and some are good so its like a hit or miss in my opinion about it. But maybe getting a RTX 2070 in the future will be good.
