I'm struggling to find out if it would be worth upgrading to a Titan X Pascal. I struggle to play Battlefield One on my i7-5930k 32gb DDR4 machine in even 1600x1024. Im looking to achieve 3440x1440. Any advice or knowledge is appreciated.
Titan X Current Card Price £1,179.00 (9/2/17)
Thank you in advance.

Well, the best card for 1440p gaming is the GTX 1070 (in whichever form). It is also, what, half of the price of the Titan X (I'm not sure about GTX 1070 prices in the U.K.)?

If you want a lot of extra head room, you could go with the GTX 1080 - another great card which will give you that extra performance for any resolutions higher.

Of course, maybe you've heard of AMD Vega series cards (which will be coming out later, though) which, rumor has it, will be pretty strong - relative to current NVIDIA cards.

A Titan X would be huge overkill for 1440p gaming. Your issue I suspect (like my own) will be down to a poorly optimised BF1 SLI profile. I run an Acer XR341CK (3440 x 1440) on 2 x AMD R9 280x and get very poor scaling as opposed to running the game on a single card. In addition I get the usual lag and micro stutter associated with multi GPU configurations.

I'd go for a single GTX 1080 if you're an Nvidia fan or wait to see what AMD comes up with in terms of Vega (as I am doing) as LucaFire suggests.

It's most likely a SLI problem, even one of those cards by it self should not have problems running BF1.

The battlefield series are kind of notorious for being badly optimized for SLI/Crossfire.

Try disabling SLI and see what happens.

Also, make sure that you have the latest Nvidia driver. Be sure to make a clean install of the new driver.
You can download DDU from guru3d: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
Then install the latest driver from Nvidia: http://www.geforce.com/drivers

Maybe this video could be of some help?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMG-oRyxNds&feature=youtu.be

Good luck, hope you solve it.
