With the AOC U3477PQU being released next month in the UK I am tempted to upgrade to it.

I am wondering though if my noname GTX 580 (Has a DisplayPort output, couldn't find out the version) will be capable of driving it at 3440 x 1440 @ 60Hz.

Does anyone have any experience trying to power anything above 2560 x 1600 with a similar card (maybe other GTX 500 series)?
 
Solution
Highest res for the 580 is 2560x1600 unfortunately!

The good news, is that 580s are still worth good money on the used market. You could pick up a 760 or 770 which can do resolutions up to 4096x2160

This PC is primarily intended for gaming, though my gaming is limited to StarCraft 2 and Dota 2, so nothing that requires a lot of horsepower.

My question here is whether a GTX 580 is actually capable of delivering 5000 pixels@60Hz on a single port.

I am currently driving a 2560 x 1600 @ 59Hz + 1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz, but the bezels are getting annoying.

I want to change my setup to just one 3440 x 1440 @ 60Hz screen. The old ones will be moved to my office setup instead.
I want to go away from a multi-screen setup. I already know that a GTX 580 is only capable of powering two screens at a time (even though it has 3 output ports)

I personally cannot recommend anything less than a r9 280 (3gb vram) to run games on that beautiful panel, you may want to consider a gtx 970/80 or a r9 290/290x
