The reason for a 21:9 monitor is because I do a lot of video editing using Adobe Creative Suit and the wide aspect ratio makes things easier. I also game quite a lot (Arma3/2/BattleField/GTA ect)
I currently have a GTX 650 Ti which is getting outdated now and I don't think I will be getting good frame rates in the full 2560x1080. So I've been looking for a new graphics card. Adobe products have "GPU acceleration" on supported Nvidia graphic cards, one being a GTX 770 so I've been looking into 770's. AMD cards are out of the question.
I've been looking at the Gigabyte GTX 770 WindForce 3x OC 4Gb card,
(http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX...)
because its reasonably priced and apparently a 2gb for that resolution will be okay not great. I'm not sure if I will need a 4gb card or not. Could anyone help me solve this? Also how long is the card? Due to doing a lot of video editing I have many hard drives and so I'm not sure if it will even fit .
You're Welcome to give me advice on other graphic cards (not AMD) and any help is much appreciated.
PC Specs:
i7 2600K @4.7Ghz
16Gb ram @ 1600Mhz
Asus P8Z77-v LX Motherboard
Asus GTX 650Ti
750w Semi Modular power supply
Samsung Evo 480 120Gb SSD (os/Adobe Software)
You really don't need more than 2 - 3GB of VRAM, since more is just for Antialiasing and the likes. Your card seems perfectly fine, so I'd go with that.
