how to tell if my video card can handle a 2k resolution monitor?

[Daxter90]

I have a GTX 760 4GB video card and i was wondering if I could use it to play games at 2k resolution and which monitor would be best for it? because the Asus Rug pg279q is best with a GTX 960 and higher! thank you in advance for the support

The gtx 760 is meant for 1080p gaming. 1440p will be unplayable in most demanding titles.

It won't be unplayable, you just won't be playing on ultra. Here's a random newer review that includes a 760 although the 2gb version. Plenty of game benchmarks and they are all maxed settings unless specified. Looks like a lot of the games sit around 25fps at 1440p so expect to play on med-high with decent fps. That is far from unplayable.

That helps me a lot thank you! but what about the second question do you know anything in regards to which monitor would be best for a GTX 760! or will it be best just to get a new card and monitor?

I would also get the card first. I would get no less than an a r9 390 or gtx 970 for 1440p gaming.

I assume you have 1080p now so just stick with that unless you get a new card too. If you are looking at the pg279q, it doesn't make any sense to get a $700 monitor and have a gpu that costs a fraction of that which can't even take advantage of it.

I am looking into buying the GTX 980Ti! the reason been is that i want to build a computer that I won't need to upgrade until 10 years later! LOL hope this makes sense!

Then a 980ti with the pg279q is good.
