EDIT: A few days ago I bought a HP X34. It’s a 3440x1440 ultrawide with 165Hz refresh rate. Obviously my setup can’t hit constant 165fps in all games, but I’m comfortably getting 100+ in most games, 120+ in Forza Horizon 5 or Doom Eternal. Can’t complain :)

I’m looking to buy a new monitor, making a switch from two 16:9 to a single 21:9. Everywhere I read the opinions are that on an ultra wide it doesn’t make sense to go lower than 1440p, which I guess holds true for 34" monitors.

However, I’m worried my 3060 Ti won’t be enough for that many pixels. Right now I’m enjoying uninterrupted framerates playing at 1920x1080.

How much should I really worry about making this switch? My other option is to go for a 2560x1080 monitor that’s smaller (29").

    I’ve used 3060ti ar 1440p 165Hz until recently, the card is definitely adequate if you don’t need high/ultra settings all the time. Obviously some new games will not run that well but everything should still be very playable with some tweaking.

      Thanks, I actually bought a monitor a few days ago, HP X34 - 3440x1440@165Hz. I’m getting 100fps+ in most games and can hit 165 in some. Definitely not a bad experience by any means and a huge upgrade over my old 1080p 75Hz monitor.
