Windows 10: Dual monitor or ultrawide?

Hey guys. I am stuck between decisions. I plan on getting the GTX 1180 16gb (planning ahead) and I do alot of gaming. While I do like ultrawide but I don't want to compromise frame rates. I would like to use obs or xsplit for streaming games for fun. Thing is, I would like to do 1440p gaming. I just got myself 8700k with 16gb 3200mhz trident z rgb ram. I have my system oc to 5.0ghz.

So the real concern is, which is more preferably reasonable? A 3440x1440p g sync monitor or 2x 1440p monitors (1x g sync tn for gaming and 1x ips for obs or xsplit and viewing comments). I can always view the comments on my phone so I don't care about viewing just comments on a separate monitor.

And if I do go dual monitor, do I have to get both of the same monitors and samw resolution? Suggestions? Tips?

Thanks again!

Ps- I have windows for gaming and Ubuntu for productivity.

:)

 

Dual monitor, Dual mouse??

Hello,

Please share this information to assist you better.

• How have you setup dual monitors?
• Are you referring to use 2 different mouse/keyboard with the dual monitor setup?

If yes, the mouse or keyboard may function same as one another. Since, it has to be connected to single PC/tower.

However, setting up 2 different mouse/keyboard with the Dual- monitor setup, it may not function separately for each monitor.

Let us know the status of the issue. We will assist you further.
