Which GPU can handle Ultra Settings on a 2560 x 1440?

Share2Care · Jul 20, 2014

Good Evening Gents & Ladies.

Which single GPU would you suggest for a latest build PC? It must be powerful enoighthat will play games such as BF4 at Ultra and even BF5 and will have a decent gaming life? I do not have an unlimited budget so the R9X2 is not an option!

Do not mind if AMD or Nvidia.

Thank you!

You probably want a 290x or 780, both around the same price and go swing for swing in benchmarks.

Either a 290x or 780 Ti. Either will run BF4 on ultra at 1440p but don't expect a constant 60fps, they will average ~50fps.

And if its not enough for BF5 you could always get a 2nd for SLI or Crossfire.

R9 290 / GTX 780

OR

R9 290X / GTX 780 Ti

Best performance: GTX 780Ti
Bang for buck: R9 290

just curious, what size is your display?

Thank you for your suggestions so far. The screen size is 27 inch.

Another question is it G-Sync worth more vs say Mantle?

Thank yyou!

Would you even be able to see the difference between lets say full blown ultra with AA and max shadows or a mix of high / ultra with lowered AA and shadows? I say this based on screen size being 27", I use a 47" and sit about 3 1/2 feet away in 1080p and the games look pretty awesome in just 1080p. a smaller screen in a higher resolution, that alone would look amazing even with some of the higher fps dragging settings turned down some. You don't have unlimited funds so small adjustment like this would be enough to take a slightly lower card but not be able to tell the difference.

My rig can do BF4 @ultra @1440p with 4x msaa and be fine with some drops which I don't notice but mainly @60fps, overclock it some and it will do it fine.

Personally I run a reference EVGA GTX 780Ti at 1440p and couldn't be happier. I'm getting a stable 60FPS in most modern games with Ultra settings. I got mines a few months back when they cost a little over $700. Nowadays you can get the EVGA GTX 780 Ti Superclocked ACX for $50 cheaper and it comes with a much higher core clock that will give you more performance over a reference model.
