My lovely 27" 1440p Yamakasi Q2703 just died last night :( . My GTX 690 ran games on ultra with low to no anti-aliasing (bc who needs AA when you've got hi-res!). As I was looking for a replacement 1440p monitor, I fell upon the 34" LG 3440x1440 ultrawide monitor, and it looks fricken amazing! I'm just wondering how you guys think my GTX 690 will perform with this monitor. Will I be able to play on ultra still? High settings? They say that its 30% more demanding than a 1440p monitor. I'm worried that the 2gb of usable VRAM in the 690 will hinder its performance at this higher resolution. Any thoughts?

Not very well I imagine! That is seriously high resolution for a card with only 2GB of VRAM. The VRAM envelope is already pushed by games; games that can exceed 2GB when on ultra. I would advise no less than 4GB of VRAM for a monitor with that resolution if you plan on playing games on high - ultra.
