Hello, i was wondering if two evga gtx 980's in sli will be enough to power the acer predator x34 1440p monitor with a 100hz refresh rate? Will the two cards get over 60fps in most games with good settings?

Pc specs
I5 4690k @4.5ghz
Msi z97 gaming 5
16gb of corsair ram
Thats the important stuff

While the above poster is correct, to answer your question, yes, two 980 would power that monitor just fine for games that support SLI, wiht the notable mention that you may need to lower texture setting in some future games as they will start to push beyond 4GB of VRAM in that resolution.
That being said, if you own a 980 and plan to buy another, don't. Sell it and grab a 1070.

The x34 is 3440x1440, so it is going to require more GPU power than a regular 2560x1440 monitor since it has about 25% more pixels to push. The GTX 1080 is roughly equal to 980 SLI (+/- depending on the game). In all benches I've seen the 1080 get at or above 80FPS at (regular) 1440p.

However, keep in mind some games do not scale as well in SLI (poorly supported), so the single 1080 will be better in those games, meaning you may see dips below 60FPS. It's really hard to tell since I've never seen that resolution tested with various GPUs and FPS comparisons.

EDIT: I noticed some are recommending a single 1070. That is not going to suffice since the heavier frame rate hitting games (like Witcher 3, Far Cry 4) with the 1070 barely get above 60FPS at regular 2560x1440...remember your resolution has 25% more pixels than standard 1440p.

Hi,

Will, this something I have to search and confirm.

Does your Monitor support >100Mhz (Like 144Mhz)? as most of the screens we own support up to 60Mhz so it will difficult to get higher than that!

Regards,
