Gaming on an X34..?

[craig_t]

I'm tempted to go X34, but can someone explain to me how the ultra wide works with games? Does it cause issues? Do I have to do something to each game to play them? Do all games work?

I play FPS games like COD, Battlefield etc and Driving games, GRID, DIRT, etc

Thanks all..

So in regards to this comment below, being locked at 16:9 will that just play the game centred and leave a black part of the screen either side?

As others have said once you go ultra wide you won't want to go back. One thing to note though bearing in mind you like FPS games like COD etc. Ultra wide is seen as giving you an advantage in online play due to the increased fov. Some FPS games limit you to 16:9 for this very reason......COD being one. Sure you can edit it and force the change but there are rumours of vac bans for doing it. a lot of these games have built in detection software to see if any form of forced edit is taking place. I don't play COD games but there was this fear with Dark Souls 3.....a fix did come out but I waited for the online community to Guinea pig it for me before I tried it.
