I’m in the market for a new monitor and I wanted to get a ultrawide, I almost exclusively play videogames on my PC. I found some good candidates, but because of price I’m heavily leaning towards a flat panel instead of a curved one, namely AOC U34G3X.

Is a flat ultrawide panel much worse than a curved one for gaming? I’ve used flat panels since they started selling it, but the longer diagonal scares me a bit. I’m currently using a 27" flat panel.

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

    I’m also upgrading other parts of my PC, and already researched what it will be capable of (should be able to get 100+ fps @ 3440*1440 high-ultra details on most games I play).

    Thanks anyway!

      What graphics card are you going for? I’m in the process of specing out my next PC but the graphics card is causing me a headache

        After a long debate I think I’m almost certain it will be a RX 6800XT, as I don’t really need the extra nVidia bits like Ray Tracing, and also price per performance is a bit better with AMD cards (at least in my country, since the 6800XT gets more FPS than a 4070 while costing 10% less). Also not very fond of nVidia after the various stuff they pulled with the release of 40-series cards, and last but not least, I’m going to switch to Linux permanently and AMD drivers are a tad better in that regard. Your mileage may vary a lot from mine haha so if you want RT, and can find nVidia cards at more reasonable prices, I think a 4070/4070ti should be good enough for ultrawide 1440p, especially with DLSS
