I'm wondering if R9 Fury Nitro is able to handle 5120x1440 resolution @ 60Hz.

I want to buy a Samsung G9 monitor and I do not know if this card will be fine or I have to look for another - and if so, which GPU required for that resolution.

It will probably be able to output at that resolution, but I wouldn't guess many games will run smoothly at it.  That's twice as many pixels as a 2560x1440 display.  Beyond the sheer number of pixels, there's the issue of only 4GB of graphics memory.

If you intend to use it for gaming, then you'd want to upgrade, though it's a pretty bad time to do that.  Nothing's in stock, unless you pay scalpers' prices.

It's just for work. I don't want to play games on this setup, but movies, Photoshop and web browser (youtube/netflix) have to work smoothly.

According to the GPU specification, the maximum resolution is:
DisplayPort: 4096 x 2160 / HDMI: 4096 x 2160

Are you sure this graphics card can handle this resolution? (even if it is higher than specified in the specification)

What GPU is recommended for this resolution to be stable and run at 240Hz/144Hz?

@colesdav  owns a R9 Fury so he might be able to tell you what resolutions/frequencies he has been able to run that GPU card at.

This very new MSI AMD GPU Card might be what you are looking for. But it was just released to the public in December 2020:

It isn't cheap, about $1,000.00, plus the drivers may be buggy since it is so new.

It's really weird. Samsung created an ultra-wide gaming monitor about 1 year ago (June 2020), and so far there is no GPU that can display this resolution?

Moreover. Looking only at pixels:
3840 × 2160 = 8294400 single pixels
5120 × 1440 = 7372800 single pixels

So technically there is less pixels on 5120x1440 than 4k. 

Samsung G9 Oddysey can run @ 240Hz
RX6900XT can output max 4k@1`20Hz (HDMI)

Please, can someone explain this?

Hi. 

Max resolution I have managed to run is 4K using VSR on a 1080p 75Hz Viewsonic Monitor or BenQ 60Hz 4K monitor.
You will need a pair of R9 Fury X to run BF1 DX12 Ultra @ ~ 60FPS with an i7-4790K CPU or better.
The number of games that will support DZX12 MultiGPU or DX11 Crossfire is limited. 
I can only run a single R9 FuryX on BFV for example, as there is no DX12 MultiGPU or DX11 Crossfire support at all. 
I recently looked at Crossfire Scaling on  a few games for another user. 
I will point you to that thread for more information. 

Bye.

That GPU card can't support those high Resolutions as per CNET Specs on the Sapphire R9 Fury: https://www.cnet.com/products/sapphire-nitro-r9-fury-graphics-card-radeon-r9-fury-4-gb/

Even though that was an excellent GPU card when it first came out there are more modern AMD GPU cards that are superior to Fury.

You may want to look at AMD Professional GPU card but they are expensive.

How about resolution scaling ? That will not work ?

At this time, in my country RX 6900 costs about $2393 - This is sick!
