Well now that I've got all the games I want running in 3440x1440, I'll do my list of what games have impressed me the most:

5) Deadspace - Can't believe a 9 year old game can look this good!
4) Evolve - Stunning with a 1070 on Max settings.
3) Halflife 2 - The biggest surprise of all, amazing in the same way Deadspace is.
2) Star Wars - Battlefront
1) Middle Earth - Shadow of Mordor

I could have listed 20 as all games, as expected look stunning. But I'm surprised at how good some of the really old games look, the true classics, the games you can complete again which you perhaps would never of gone back to if it wasn't for 3k.

Any gems that others have found?
 
Not so much old but The Witcher 3 looks great at 3440x1440 though you have to use a .exe fix to get the ingame cutscenes to work on the full res.

Other games I'm playing atm that work are:

Neverwinter,
Fractured Space,
Guild Wars 2,
World of Warships,
War Thunder,
Pillars of Eternity (reminds me of playing Balders Gate)

Agree with Witcher 3. I'm quite far into Pillars of Eternity, hmmm haven't re-installed it since I had to install Windows again, will check that now. Neverwinter the mmorpg?
 
All games :p

21.9 transforms every game into something else. If I had to pick though, probably:

- the division (even better since you can move the HUD right to the edges)
- GTA 5
- pretty much all FPS games especially for the likes of bf 3/4 etc. as the extra FOV you get is quite the advantage and makes vehicle gameplay much better especially for aircraft
- mad max

Imo 16.9 just looks so dated and squashed in comparison now, no idea how anyone can stick it. There is only one way I would go back to 16.9 and that is for OLED.
 
Dirt Rally and Assetto Corsa are great with it due to the FoV, along with Rocket League.

GTA V and MGS:V also both great on it.

Indeed it does. Best upgrade I have made for a very long time, just blown away. £500 for my 34" iiyama model, everyone would save if they saw it in action. Using a £350 1070 seems to be a perfect match. Also, I don't have g-sync, but if you allow your geforce control panel to sort od v-sync, I get no screen tearing at all :)

Installing Dirt Rally... want to test a driving game actually, this is my favourite one.

Agree with MGS:V, GTA V is class too, I've just over played it!

Arkham Knight looks great, flying above Gotham.

Yep, one of the first games I tested. Unfortunately my saved game has been lost or overridden, was very far into it, but never completed a Batman game and have all 3 so might complete all 3 when I'm in the mood as I do love the ambience and gameplay. Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor wacks Batman into back of the line for these types of games though, so will complete that and all DLC first.
 
The pixel density of 3440x1440 at 34 inches is virtually the same as 2,560 x 1,440 (1440p) at 27 inches.
I certainly have not noticed a difference in detail moving from an X34 to a 27 inch 16:9 1440p.

For me 21:9 looks squashed vertically and distended horizontally.
I do prefer 16:9.

I had a 2,560 x 1,440 monitor and I agree, it looks awful. 3k is awesome, it's as simple as that really.
 
I wouldn't consider any other Res now that I've moved to 21:9. My next upgrade will be the 4k equivalent at 120hz (whenever it becomes available).

As for which games have impressed me:

All Batman
GTA V
SOM
