Fury or 980Ti depends on your budget!

Why are you suggesting 16:9 for someone who wants 21:9?

Why are you suggesting 16:9 for someone who wants 21:9?

because it's better and cheaper and would allow him to buy a more powerful GPU instead of buying into a resolution that most games won't support (16:9 stretched to 21:9 looks like ass and this is what 98% of the games out there are doing)

This is a joke right?

not at all, do your research.

do you think game developpers really spend time considering 21:9 when like 0.1% of the planet is using those resolutions?!

Just about every AAA game from the last 3 years supports 21:9.

98% of games most played consist of godawful ports, huh.

Bollocks.

 

Most games support 21:9 nowadays, and those who don't you can use programs like widescreen fixer and flawless widescreen to force it. Or other 3rd party mods. Also for those games than don't support 21:9 or don't have any available fixes for them, you can still drive them @ 2560x1440 with black bars on the sides by forcing aspect ratio scaling from your GPU drivers.

supporting the resolution, and actively showing you a wider view of the field is two completely different things...as i said, MOST games will just ''stetch out'' the 16:9 ratio and show you a blury stretched out version of the game...i know i tested most of them (believe it or not, there is a 2560x1080 monitor *21:9 lying inside EVERY 2560x1440 monitors, including mine

That's simply not true. Most games are hor+ which means that the field of view stretches horizontally according to the resolution. Thus many older games also support 21:9 even though they were released way before first monitors with that aspect ratio were released. The only modern game that had the stretching issue that I can remember was Arkham Knight but that was patched fairly quickly.

 

 

Also, I have the following games installed on Origin, Uplay, GOG etc:

 

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

Far Cry 3 & 4

Crysis 3

The Witcher 1 & 3

GTAV

 

All of those games fully support 21:9, either officially or with a fix. The whole notion that only tiny minority of games support 21:9 is laughable.

snip!

fair enough...if you say so then it's great!

but can you provide an explanation as to why games such as metro-last light, crysis 3, rocket league and dying light are simply stretched out versions of the game on my monitor with a custom 2560x1080 resolution then?

Maybe because it's not a native 21:9 monitor? All those games you mentioned fully support 21:9 out of the box.

alright, maybe...forget my comment then. Thanks for posting!
