I'm looking to upgrade to a 1440p monitor and upgrade GPU along with it; and of course I look at benchmarks in making these decisions.
Typically I look at Battlefield 4 for this purpose. Now, I am for example considering a GTX 970, and I notice that Guru3D's stock 970 BF4 1440p average framerate seems to be 62, Anandtech 49.9. I won't go linking every other site's reviews, but in general the Guru3D results seem higher. Admittedly, unless I'm just not reading the right pages, most sites seem to just say something like "1440p, Ultra, 2X AA", so perhaps if I knew every single setting, the reasons for the differences might be obvious to me.
Long story short, if I could expect performance closer to Guru3D's results, I think I'd be OK with a 970 at 1440p. Am I pretty safe there?
Bonus question: if I SLI 970 later that would be a huge boost...but I notice from Guru3D's FCAT section that there are a lot of framedrops in SLI. I'm not the most GPU-tech savvy, but the review implies that this isn't a huge deal. Just to be sure, is that something that I can ignore in considering 970 SLI?
Having just registered, I'm not able to post links for your convenience, otherwise I'd link to the sources showing the framerates I mentioned.
