Does an ultrawide screen change how things work? Is 1080p at 21:9 equivalent to 16:9? Will the same graphics card deliver identical results for both resolutions? In short, did I make a mistake by choosing a 25-inch 2560:1080 setup for Warzone with a 2070/RTX 3600 and getting around 105 fps on low settings?
The 1080p specification refers to a 1920x1080 resolution. A 21:9 aspect ratio doesn't match that standard. If your screen is wider than that, it won't be labeled as 1080p. Higher resolutions generally cause more noticeable effects on performance.
Someone named @jaslion confirms this point, but with these configurations (all set low), you might be CPU-limited instead of GPU-limited. A higher display resolution puts more strain on the GPU, not the CPU. Therefore, in tasks that rely heavily on CPU processing, monitor resolution doesn't affect your frame rate. You can use tools like GPU-Z or other monitoring apps to see how your GPU is using resources while playing. If utilization stays below 95-100%, then a higher screen resolution likely won't change your FPS.
Ok ok i didn't think r5 3600 would bottleneck a 2070 but ok i don't think it even gets close to 90% but i could be wrong. I know for a fact that cpu work bellow 50% tho
The issue with a 25-inch 2560x1080p screen is its compact size—just about 10 inches tall. It’ll feel similar to a wide laptop display. Stay close enough for an immersive view, but maintain distance so individual pixels aren’t noticeable, and keep it narrow enough to fit within your field of view without feeling cramped.
There is always a point of constraint. It’s not feasible for every part to run at full capacity all the time. Whether your CPU or GPU becomes the slowest factor in a game depends entirely on the engine and your chosen settings, which can shift between frames. Under the right conditions, any processor can hinder any graphics card, and vice versa.
I received 150€ and that was the best I could afford at that time, so I’m not likely to complain much. I spent all my budget on the PC itself and didn’t even have funds for accessories then. It’s a decent monitor, though. If I had been more careful with my spending, I’d have gotten a 144Hz model for a bit less.
In current titles using high resolutions, the CPU might not be the main limitation for the 20 series, but could become an issue with some 30 series cards. However, this trend is more noticeable in older games from the early 2010s and earlier, especially those running at 1366X768 or lower.
