What could be better than one LG 34UC97 curved 3440x1440 display? How about 3 of them powered by two Sapphire R9 290X 8GB cards...

 

 

Give us your game suggestions down below! What do you want to see running at 10320x1440?

You should have ran a racing or flight sim in cockpit view if you wanted the see the immediate benefits of the extra screen space.

I'd really like to see an rts like starcraft/supcom or a world building game like Anno.

 

Do these kind of games even scale well? And if so can have more real estate give you that edge on noticing incoming assaults and things.

You absolutely HAVE to try and run the original Crysis :) and maybe the new one. But NOT number 2, that was garbage.

 

Other than that, some racing games such as Grid Autosport and dirt and so forth would be cool to see, awesome video by the way.

The first step to insanity is believing in your sanity.

try running witcher 2 as it was a nvidia flagship game that was meant to be released with game engine that would stream the surrounding map without the need for login in screens. I feel like this would test the rig out quiet nicely.

You could try Arma 3, as I know you have full control over UI placement.

Would love to see skyrim and some fps games. Maybe blackflag?

Whatever it is, please also show comparison with 16:9.

I would really like to see how Skyrim handles at this resolution because I love it in eyefinity with triple 1080p. Also Minecraft would be interesting, because Minecraft.

First off, holy balls! This takes the cake as the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen tech wise. I'm glad I stayed up until 12:45 a.m. PST.

Secondly, I would like to see Crysis (1 or 3) played on this insane setup, because, as the age old question reads, will it play Crysis?

  What about Team Fortress 2? I would love to see it run on that setup.

Nothing to see here, move along

I think the only games that are really going to push that setup are pc exclusives. I'd like to see ARMA 3 and Planetside 2.

I think I would like to see Skyrim in this setup, with ENB graphics mod. Also Tomb Raider, Grid 2 and BF4. Is that too much of trouble for you guys?

Flight/space/driving games would probably see the most benefit from this ultra-super-mega-wide aspect ratio. Assetto Corsa, Project Cars, DCS, Star Citizen, or Elite: Dangerous. The other ones that would benefit would be management or city builder games like Banished, since you'd have room on the screens for all the information tabs, as well as more screen area to see your town.
