Last month I bid farewell to my ultrawides and went back to 16:9. What I did not consider was how performance would be affected, and it certainly never occurred to me that some games would become unplayable.
For example, in Kingdom Come at 2560x1080 I was able to maintain a constant 100fps with most settings medium or high (except shaders.) Now at 1440 I can't even get a consistent framerate over ~65 (frequent dips into the 40s) with everything on low. Same for Andromeda and Far Cry 5. My hardware is getting older (1070, 8700k, 16GB C15 3000), but such a big hit for a relatively small increase in only horizontol resolution is shocking and discouraging.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
