I'm thinking about getting one those ultra wide screen monitors with a 21:9 aspect ratio.
Some of these monitors have a resolution of 3440x1440.
I'll be using this for both gaming and work.
My only concern is that I don't think my video card is powerful enough to play games at 3440x1440.
I'm sure it can do normal 2D tasks for productivity related tasks at that resolution just fine.
I have a single GTX 970 video card and I don't really want to do SLI at this time or upgrade to something more powerful.
Can I play games at a lower resolution and show black borders on the left/right side of the monitor?
What I don't want is to play a game at 16:9 aspect ratio and have it stretched to 21:9.
TIA.
