Solution RobCrezz Nov 8, 2016 Yeah the 970 does 1440p no problem, just need to lower graphics settings compared to 1080p. You obviously dont need AA as much at higher resolution. Ive been running 1440p on GTX 680, 780 and 1060. All been fine, just a case of adjusting the settings.

MWP0004 Respectable Oct 26, 2016 491 0 1,960 Nov 8, 2016 #3 SLI comes with it's own requirements. Adequate space, heat dissipation, power requirements, lack of support on some games, etc. I would probably recommend you get a 1070 for 1440p. Upvote 0 Downvote

(Yes, NVidia did promise us 980s and 970s with 8GB of vram which never came.) Upvote 0 Downvote
