Is it really worth it, 1 21:9 monitor for 320 USD, when i could get 3 23 inch for that price? 

What do you think.

Would be used for: Dirt 3, And thats it b/c GPU cant run more.

they are great.

but for simulators 3x 23" are totally fine as well.

Only thing is, for 3*23 idd need a new expensive gpu

I have a 21:9 display and it is amazing 10/10.

OK, so how wide is it,ik is the height of a 23 inch monitor. Also, what one do you have?

It depends... for racing games, simulators, even MOBAs I liked using them.

First person shooters is shit though... too much trouble to aim.

For fps I could play at 1080p

If you don't mind those black rectangles, you indeed could!

 

Anyway, I really like them but I'm more into 1440p.

hm.

i think that it shouldnt be too bad for simulators.

otherwise for desktop use and fps 21:9 is amazing, just keep in mind that the actual screen size is a lot less.
