March 5, 201510 yr Hi guys, I just bought the Dell U3415W - 34" Curved Ultrawide Monitor I am currently waiting for delivery. Your thoughts ?
March 5, 201510 yr Author I did fell for it The GPU is a GTX 760 not sure if it can take it....have to do some research
March 5, 201510 yr I would be a bit concerned about your GPU I think it can handle it but that particular resolution is not common in games. You will definitely have to scale back your settings a bit to handle the larger resolution in your games. Danny make sure you use Display Port not HDMI for this monitor also make sure your GTX 760 supports display port as well which I'm sure it does. Danny from what I've read its not recommended you will probably need a second one or go for a new 9 series it's recommended that you get at least 3GB of VRAM. I'm even hearing the 780Ti has problems running this resolution you will probably be looking at a new card you can always try it first but your fps is gonna suffer.
March 6, 201510 yr Author Well it looks like the gpu can handle this monitor. Gtx760 can do 4096x2160 max resolution. The mon optimal res is 3440x1440 at 60hz.
March 6, 201510 yr You may have to scale back your settings in BF4 though to handle that higher resolution if you don't have to then you are lucky.
March 8, 201510 yr Author Just read a review for my card the MSI GTX760 twin frozer in SLI mode. It doubled the frame rate on all games. With the new monitor coming i am seriously thinking about the SLI thing. But i am unsure if it is needed or not
March 8, 201510 yr New power supply, ventilation ideas needed ASAP and lets not forget about power consumption .No SLI....upgrade if need it
March 8, 201510 yr Author Power is ok i have it at 1200v. Ventilation need to check i have a new case storm trooper has 8 fans
March 8, 201510 yr Danny you could do SLI depends how cheap you can get another 760 for. Though I would seriously look at the newer cards as they can handle 4k (well a handful of them) and that resolution wouldn't be a problem. Your PSU would be more than enough to handle another card but I would seriously look at a new card the 9 series easily blow away what you have and what I have. I've got 2 580s in SLI and they are reaching their limit but I'm waiting for another dual GPU card to come out.

Well i have researched the whole deal for a couple of days now with the hope of taking an informed decision. The easy thing to do technically was to go for the GTX 760 in SLI mode which would have been awesome performance wise. But with my P8P67Pro mobo the spacing is a big big issue as i also have a sound card. After having spent minutes just looking at the pci slots i had to give up to the tought that there is no way that i could do the SLI. Although physically i can squeeze the two cards inside there would have been no way to dissipate the heat. So i went to the shop to look for a solution even considering a larger mobo that would safely allow the SLI. Still one thing that i left out is the money issue. After the monitor spending i have almost no budget for anything else. So here i am in the shop looking at two cards right in front of me. The MSI GTX 760 Twin Frozer 2gb OC at $300 (that i also have at home and is only three months old), and the MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozer OC 4gb, at $450. After sweating for 10 minutes i bought the 970 thinking that the wife wont find out (she is on vacation till the 28th), and also i have to be on diet anyway. Well it is done my friends. Now i have to find a way to get rid of the 760.
