1440p on GTX 760 2GB to game at high/ultra settings

[leftisthominid]

When I built my rig in March, I avoided replacing my HU196D 1280×1024 monitor, since a decent portion of my game library was 5:4 friendly, and I could use my 1080p 23 inch TV when a game was not 5:4 friendly.

Now my HU196D is dying. Whenever my computer is off and it is plugged in the power light turns red and the screens blinks different colors, so I am on the monitor market now.

I would like to play games at high or ultra settings (the most intensive games I will be playing on it this year will be Assassin's Creed Unity). I was wondering, would my video card be able to handle 1440p? Thanks!

Actually, looking up monitor prices, a 1440p monitor is financially out of reach, but it would still be interesting to know if this computer could do it if necessary.

You could run the 1440p monitor but not on high/ultra. I have a 4gb 770 and it can handle most things on high but not ultra. I've seen mixed things about the 760 being able to run on medium with little aliasing though.
