3440x1440 Performance question

[Matt]

Hi, I'm thinking about buying a new monitor with 3440x1440 resolution. Is anybody running BoS with that resolution and if so, what performance are you getting with what kind of hardware?

I'm playing at that res. My gpu is about to be changed - gtx 690. Ultra + 4xAA with sparse grid supersampling and gameplay is not fluid anymore. I have i7 6700K. If i use 2xAA with 3x distance plus high  preset no sparse grid then gameplay is  tolerable - maybe thanks to g-sync and 100Hz.

I use that too.

 

When I got this monitor, I had one 970 but it was not enough for this resolution. I had to get another and with 970 SLI it`s pretty smooth playing ultra settings v-sync on. Although I had to drop sparse grid supersampling which I was using earlier with 1080p. And that new long distance grass option is not usable, I got pretty serious stuttering with it.

I haven`t used any frame counters for a some time now but IIRC it was 40-50 fps on ground and 60 fps in air generally.

 

So prepare to get a new GPU with the monitor.

1070 - 5040x1050 resolution.  Need to get special adapters for 120hz and display port; Settings ultra, 4xAA, 4x ground, gets me ~60-120fps.  Ground is about 45-60fps when crowded.  This is on a four year old i2600k at stock speed.  Trying to get an fps counter to work - NVidia's GeForce experience is not showing the counter in all games for some reason..... buggery piece of software.

 

When I can get a better read, I'll post something more tangible.

Thanks alot for the comments. I was thinking about getting a GTX 1070 or maybe even the 1080. I don't think i would be happy with just one GTX 970 and i've so far avoided SLI and don't really plan to use that in the future either. But i'll still wait a few months, hoping for a few more 34" IPS Gsync monitors to hit the market. Main reason for the upgrade, is that i want to replace my dual monitor setup, which i no longer find necessary with IPS gaming UWQHD avaliable right now.

I am running 4K res on my GTX1080, Initially I ran into a bottle neck with my CPU and I had to OC it to 4.5GHz to have BoS playable with a solid 60 FPS. Keep in mind that with that resolution you don't need AA.

OK, that's surprising, because 4k should easily be 30% more demanding than UWQHD. So i guess a 1080 might even be able to get close to get close 100 FPS with UWQHD and a 1070 should be more than enough to get 60 FPS on that resolution.

I know it's surprising. I wasn't impress as well. Soon we will get DX11 and I expect a big jump like it did on DCS.

I'm running 3x24" screens at 5760x1080 on a gtx980ti and it never drops below 45fps on ultra settings.

For me the bottleneck is the CPU, I barely get any usage of my 980 ti in this game. (~20% each).

 

I've tested a single card and it can run it pretty well.

Works great for me on my Dell U3415W.
