I've got one. It's a stunning monitor. Absolutely fantastic.
Worth considering though, that I don't think the current AMD graphics cards are quite up to scratch for this many pixels. Maybe Fury X... but it won't be perfect.
I've got an R390, and freesync helps, and it does in honesty still look fantastic. But at this extreme resolution, nearly as many pixels as 4K, it does struggle with some games, particularly newer ones. Older ones sometimes don't work with the 21:9 aspect ratio, so it's not a painless experience.
I'll be looking for an upgrade when the new flagship Vega cards are released in early 2017.
Other than that though, this is a fantastic monitor, and I'm delighted with the purchase, even having paid £680. Would definitely buy again. Just wish I had a GPU capable of living up to it! Roll on next year...

Gamers usually get around 3 hours of sunshine per year, do you feel he needs 4 hours? :wink:

Just ad a 390 for crossfire, and you're good to go for a fair few years (4ish I would say )

got the x34 g sync and its great, but be aware movies etc dont always fit also amazon prime movies trying get them to also fit, only had it 2 days so far so early days, but what I did notice is this didnt hurt my eyes like all the other IPS monitors I had in the past, upgraded from rog swift you could say

hi
can i take advantage of the freesync with nvidia cards?
this ticks all the boxes for me.. but I am looking to get the 1070 when it arrives

You can use it but freesync is amd proprietary and cannot be used with nvidia cards. Since you planning to get 1070 which is a mid range I would advise buy amd r9 nano ( prices will decline in next couple of months) and it might come down to match 1070 price or go for 390x if you want this badass and freesync luxury.

It's won't work sadly, you'll have to get a G-Sync version.
Alternatively you could wait for the Vega AMD cards due early 2017. Still an unknown quantity though.
We may have more info by the time the 1070 comes out, so probably worth just hanging around. But definitely don't invest this much in an adaptive sync monitor only to get a card from the other manufacturer!

Fit? You mean 21:9 ratio? I did play a Force Awaken trailer in 21:9 mode and it looks fantastic.
Not quite true, G-Sync is nvidia proprietary, freesync is AMD's brand name for VESA A-sync which is an open standard that's entirely free. Nvidia could decide to support it tomorrow for everyone and it'd only take a driver update plus a card with the right displayport standard (1.2a iirc, so that's everything in the last few years).
Unfortunately Nvidia are evil and want to push their own proprietary expensive standards.

I'd considered it, but I'm new to PC gaming so haven't tried SLI before, and I've seen loads of posts from people saying they wouldn't go back to a dual-card solution again, not supported by some games, etc. I have enough problems with the ultrawide display without adding another complication!
Think rather than investing another £250 or so on another R390, I'll just wait for their flagship cards next year.
Such a shame they're not releasing a high end card this year.
