Games With Good 21:9 Support ?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone :)

I find it hilarious that so many people are obsessed with "4K gaming", to the point all the review sites now include 4K resolution in their graphics card tests, yet in reality it makes so little difference.

With a typical 27" monitor at normal viewing distances, gaming at 4K would just make things a little bit sharper. You might notice it to start with but, once you're immersed in the game itself, you'll never notice the difference. In exchange for this marginal benefit, you'll get massively reduced performance compared to 1440p.

Contrast with a ultrawide monitor, which provides massively more immersion due to the wider aspect. Once you've experienced it, you'll never go back. It's also easier on your hardware as even a 34" ultrawide has only 60% of the pixels to shift as does a 4K display.

I know what you mean, I had a 4K IPS 27" Dell and the difference between it and a 27" 1440P panel was nearly non existent, 4K is vastly overhyped from my experience, 1440P if you want a 27" monitor or 3440x1440 if you want Ultrawide are both the sweetspots.
 
Games I've played and know work at 21:9 are:

GTA5,
The Witcher 3 with the mod to make ingame cutscenes display at 21:9,
The Division,
Mafia 3 though it has an issue on the main menu but ok in game,
Battlefield 1,
CSGO,
Doom,
Heroes of the Storm,
Dota 2,
League of Legends,
World of Warships,
World of Tanks,
Neverwinter MMO,
Guild Wars 2,
World of Warcraft,
Skyrim with a few ini tweaks and a 21:9 ui mod,
Cities Skylines.

I have an Acer Predator X34A 21:9 monitor and I use it a lot.

But I also have a 65" LG B6V OLED TV and the picture quality/colours/black levels etc on that are so much better than the monitor that certain games (mainly those with poor 21:9 support) are just better.

At other times though GSYNC really helps on the X34a. HITMAN for instance doesn't support SLI (very well) so at 3440x1440/Ultra you get between 80-45fps depending on the scene and having GSYNC is a godsend.
