And you know you're getting at least 60FPS all the time and no repeated frames being rendered?
The new COD wouldn't even run at 60FPS constant on mine (with EVERYTHING maxed) and I'm running a 980ti @ 1080p (on 6 core i7). Which isn't abnormal tbh, as COD games are normally pretty buggy. This is EXACTLY the same as Digital Foundry has reported @ 1080p on the same PC spec.
No way on this earth will your 290 be able to achieve constant 60+FPS with everything maxed mate at 1440p.
If it can't maintain a minimum of 60FPS...... it can't cope as intended. This should be a 60FPS game on the PC minimum.
Load FRAPS and log your gameplay. Minimum, Average and Max.

Once you've become used to 60fps (and above), especially with vsync on, lower framerates are very noticable and simply don't feel as nice or smooth.
To address a few other points:
Arkham Knight is an example of a poor-effort cross-platform development. We can point to The Witcher 3 as an example of a good-effort cross-platform development.

Gotta say, I found that moving on from my Xbox etc, I (personally) found the desire to "grow up" with my gaming (I know, ironic or moronic).
My PC isn't the latest & greatest (FX8350, Sabretooth 990, R9 270, 16 gig gaming Ram and a combo of SSD & HDD), but it's great for Fallout4, Project Cars, Colin McRae and Elite.
Running through a stupid hi-res Phillips monitor 28" 4k monitor. TBH, it's too small. I preferred running it on my 1080p TV
I use a xbox controller, joystick (old Saitek Cyborg 3D and my G27 steering wheel)
Not meant to be anything more than a more "mature" person's gaming setup (I'm 42 btw)

Hi there
For those money hard to say,but I would recommend get older X58 LGA 1366 and put there Xeon X5670 which will cost you around £120 or maybe less plus Overclock to safe 4.0GHz and you have PC which will play any game,regarding the GPU,please have look on older GTX780 or R9 280X or R9 290,just don't take reference models,those reference models are loud like hell
My spec is,PC is most of time used for rendering,I don't play too many games,but Project Cars and Asseto Corsa I play most of the time if I've time,I bought mine Titan X from friend when he decided break his Titan X SLI setup and took his second card for good price as I needed that card for rendering,for gaming is just waste when GTX 980Ti is cheaper and is around 10% slower
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R
Intel Xeon X5670 OC to 4.2GHz
H100i with Noctua NF-F12 fans
36GB DDR3
EVGA GTX Titan X with GTX780(those cards are used most of the time for rendering in VRAY,IRAY and Octane)
500GB SSD Samsung 850 and several 3TB Toshiba HDD
850W Silverstone Gold strider
two Dell U2410
You can buy good bargains and really I would go route of the X58 LGA1366 and Xeon(X5650 or X5670) and with right GPU you have awesome machine which will play any games
Hope this helps and good luck
Thanks,Jura
