Hey guys, Im using a 34 inch monitor, but feel in some games that I could use a extra fps boost, but Im a cheap ass when it comes to buying stuff. Would another 1080 be too much for 3440x1440 or should you only have it for 4k or above?
 
Solution
Try an experiment.
Lower your resolution and eye candy and run YOUR games.
If you see a FPS boost then your cpu is strong enough fo more graphics power.

Then, do your games support dual gpu?
Are you ok with perhaps some stuttering and screen tearing?

Worth is something only YOU can determine.

My plan would be to wait for a stronger single gpu card from nvidia or amd.
