Juat go for it. I'm running a 2080 with a 4K 1440Hz monitor and it runs ok, and when it doesn't, I can reduce the details or enable DLSS or something. 3060Ti should be perfectly fine for 3440x1440.
But then again it really depends on the games you play, if you're currently struggling to keep 60fps at 1080p, then it's gonna run worse on bigger resolution of course. And there are benefits of the larger display and higher resolution outside of games as well.
Don't get a 1080p 29", it's gonna be overall smaller than two 24" monitors, an ultra wide 29" is the same height as 24", just wider, but not twice as wide.
Appreciate the insight.
The benefits outside of games are half the reason I'm considering an ultra wide. I'm considering a 29" 1080p as a lesser choice, but am considering it regardless. That's because I don't exactly use my current second monitor. I'm fine with downsizing, but I'm also happy with a flashy big wide 34" monitor.
