How does it look that good? Are you using mods or is that vanilla? Mine certainly doesn't look that good.

Got myself a new PC and monitor (ultrawide!). Digging it.
which ultrawide monitor did you end up getting? I've been looking at them for a while...is it worth it?
The Dell U3415W. I initially got the flat LG, but sent it back due to some pretty excessive backlight bleeding. This curved Dell that I got after sending the LG back wasn't much better in that respect, but I ended up liking this better in every other way. I honestly didn't know what to think of the curve before I got the monitor, but I really don't find it any distracting, and I don't find it to distort anything I'm looking at.
For me, it's a big jump coming from a regular 23 inch 1920x1080 Eizo (which had zero backlight bleeding, which set my expectations) in every way. The bump in resolution feels ridiculous, and the ultrawide screen format feels pleasantly spacious. Colors are what I've come to expect from the IPS displays (pretty) and the size of the monitor, while intimidating at first, feels just right. I've only had the display in use for a few days alongside my new PC, but I'm loving it. I haven't got a whole lot of taxing games on my hard drive installed at the moment, but ArmA 3 runs great at the native resolution of 3440x1440 with the single GTX 980 that I have.
The change may feel less impactful if you're coming from QHD or 4K monitors, or if you've got a surround setup already. But if you're coming from 1080p and you don't require a high refresh rate monitor, I'd say it's definitely worth a look.
Just watched a few videos on youtube, this monitor looks pretty sweet. I wanted to ask, my current computer isn't very fast. I'm running a i5 4590 processor with a 750ti, if I want to run my current games on the native resolution, will I need to decrease the visual settings drastically or is it a little bump?
Why don't you just downsample and add some SGSSAA?
I imagine you'd need to pare back on a lot of the settings to get good performance on a lot of the newer titles with your current setup. I don't have similar hardware laying around, so I couldn't really say how X title would run. Looking at the card though, I think you'd be restricted to 50hz with the HDMI input. AFAIK only DisplayPort can drive the resolution at 60hz.Just watched a few videos on youtube, this monitor looks pretty sweet. I wanted to ask, my current computer isn't very fast.

Apart from a return to the jungle (which aesthetically I was tired of, especially in contrast to Africa), I think what bugs me about both Far Cry 3 and 4's environments is how unnatural and bland the topography and flora distribution is. I really love the engine and the way things are rendered, but the artistry is like a basic tree/grass brush swept over randomly hilly terrain and then calling it a day. I get that that would have been a nightmare combing over the entire map with finer attention to detail (especially Far Cry 4), but I think they could have done a better job as a whole.

..... amazing.
Now fix the baseball bat clipping through my genitals.

I don't really see what you mean?

Nice, this reminds me (somehow) of the GTA IV + ICE mod screenshot with the cab in the center but better.

Am running borderless windowif am not mistaken I can't downsample and borderless right?
Sometimes. But either way, I'd say SGSSAA would suffice, unless that MSAA is part of the SGSSAA.
