3440X1440 or 4K??

[Afro68]

Upgrading my system and I'm torn between what monitor to get does Skyrim play at 3440 x 1440 or do you get black bars?

It'll play in a widescreen resolution, but the UI gets a little fucky.

Okay, I'm considering going with 4K as ultrawides still are very pricey and the pricing difference can be spent on a second card. Thank you.

Widescreen UI issues happen in a ton of games, too - the actually rendering of the gameworld happens on the whole screen, but usually the UI doesn't go past the reguar resolution.

You do realize you will need a monster graphic card, right?

Also, does anyone know a good site to upload 4K images or really large size?

Postimage can go upto 8mb. 1800p png images sometimes go below, but most won't. So only jpg works for anything higher.

Flickr. I don't even know if there's a limit to image size (width or height), but It's free and you get a whole 1TB of storage.

 

I've used it since I began taking screenshots, including my comic strips I make in Skyrim. My most recent was 1960x12320 once I used XNView to stitch them together. Only annoying thing is that, if you flag a picture as anything other than 'safe' people will have to log in to view it on your Flickr.

4k for sure, despite human visual range being wider than it is tall, the area where you can see detail at a few feet away is still almost circular

If you've can swing 2 1080's then go 4k. I tried widescreen and could never get past the annoying resolution issues with game ui as well as many programs I used.

I am playing 3440x1440 Skyrim for while now, with ~250 + pluginsa and HD textures , ENB it is demanding on the system ( even with Titan X ). For correcting UI issues Flawless Widescreen works flawlessly  . What i like with 3440x1440 is this great widescreen experience ( even better on curved monitor ) what 4k will not give you.

Is that a mod Flawless Widescreen?

 

I'm really rethinking the 4k for ultrawide.

 

EDIT: I found it and I'll look into it.

wide screens are not natively supported by Skyrim (or Fallout 4 for that matter).

You can get around it by using the program Flawless WideScreen and it works fine for me 

 

If you use a wide screen (or multi display) I recommend that you look at ther forum wsgf (wsgf.org) as many games still assume that player play on a 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio. quite often when a new game is out this forum has a topic about it which will indicate if the game support wide resolutions by default and if not what are the existing way to patch it (quite often there's a patch on Flawless Widescreen)

 

So if you do not want to have to run another code injector (Flawless Widescreen + ENB + SKSE is a lot of programs messing with skyrim at once) then go for 4K otherwise I can tell you that I will have hard time going back to non-wide for playing games (even with the extra problem described above)

Flawless Widescreen runs on the background regardless I play Skyrim and not its very low resource. Just play Skyrim starting usual SKSE no need to worry to start up Flawless ( unless you reboot comp then you need to restart it

Thanks but after really racking my brain, I'm going to give 4K a shot with the Acer XB280HK, the Acer X34 and the Asus PG348Q just costs too damn much and the difference in price can be spent on a second card. I know there are people that love their ultrawides and say they won't ever go back to 16:9 but that's how I'm going to go. Thanks to everyone for your input.
