There's not a single yes/no answer. It very much depends on the work load. Even knowing the game isn't enough, because there's also the settings in said game, any mods that might be running, any additional apps that might be using the video card, the CPU you have to see if it can feed the video card.
Personally, I'd say ultrawide monitors just aren't worth it for gaming since most games won't support it. Honestly, if you're looking for more, a single 4k monitor might be the better route? Just a thought.
I agree ultrawide monitors aren't as well supported, that's a valid concern.
But the solution is not to buy a 4K monitor instead. That's roughly twice the pixels to power with that GPU. That I know won't be a balanced match.
Yeah, not sure which content creator it was, but they were saying they used to go ultra wide and instead it was recommended by like... Level1 techs or someone from Puget Systems to just go 4k. If I could recall the video I'd link it but sadly I cannot recall the origin, just the sentiment. Otherwise, I'd suggest personally if it's more for gaming than anything, unless you're building like a big rig, racing, flight sim, I'd personally say multiple monitors are just better (known compatibility, fewer mounting concerns, cheaper, etc.)
Appreciate the details. But I'm consciously giving up a dual monitor setup. I don't even use the second one anymore.
