Adjust your display settings to enable black bars and set the resolution to 1440p while maintaining the aspect ratio.

It might seem small, but I'm unsure if that's feasible. The simplest option would be a fully blank black desktop, and then running the games in "windowed borderless."

I just tried "Custom Resolution" in the NVIDIA Control Panel. I think it may work, but i can't test it until i organize the cables out of my GPU fan in a few days.]
I wonder if there's something like that for AMD users.

However, the custom resolution does seem to extend excessively.

In my test I created 3840x1440 and I couldn't move the mouse to the top of the screen. It seemed like native 1440p with no scaling. I believe this is the solution. If it is, I didn't find this answer on youtube, maybe it's too obvious to make a video.

That's not 1440p, it's ultrawide at 1440p resolution.
A native 1440p would display as 2560x1440.
However, if it functions, it would be satisfactory.

The issue is that your monitor attempts to fit the image to cover as much area as possible without causing distortion. With a 16:9 resolution, the monitor will simply enlarge it; for higher resolutions like 3840x1440, it can't scale up smoothly, leading to distortion or obscured parts. This behavior varies between monitors, so you might be able to disable it in your settings—look in the menu. Setting your game to full screen at 1440p should resolve the problem.

In NVIDIA's Control Panel, under Display -> "Adjust desktop size and position," you have the option to apply scaling on the GPU. You can choose to maintain the original aspect ratio or opt for no-scaling to display pixels at a 1:1 ratio.
