Building a new system soon, and for 1080p performance, i can turn just about everything up with my current GPU (560ti). I really wasnt considering upgrading the GPU, but one of the tech podcasts i was listening to mentioned that GPU's are now god enough to comfortably run at 1440p with no problems.
Im guessing the new 680's will be able to, but how comfortably can they handle that res? I would almost consider getting one, but my worry is that they can barely handle todays games at that res, then im screwed in a year or two, and will be forced to go back down to 1080p (presumably playing at a non-native res if i upgrade to a 1440p monitor.
I also have gotten used to 120hz with my current monitor, so not sure if id be able to give that up, but hopefully with apple pushing new high res monitors, they will release a 1440p or 2560x1600 120hz gaming monitor (dont really care about 3d).
