Ultrawide experiences with DayZ

[Ted]

Considering going for an ultrawide monitor but wondering if DayZ plays nice with these. Looking at 3440x1440 @34" and wondering if anyone out there is running one of these and how DayZ scales as some games don't play very nice with ultrawide

Cheers

I have a 2560x1080 monitor and it scales perfectly.

Cool thanks. Well it turns out trying to find any available with Gsync at the size and resolution I want is next to impossible in my region at present anyway. So guess I will not be upgrading until supplies get back to normality :/

Running 120hz gsync 34" 3440x1440, everything is good with dayz.

ive run it at 6400x1080 with no issues.

Cool well it sounds like it isn't any issue, however the supply of models with the specs I want is a problem at present. So when I can later on I will probably go for it

Yeah, will never go back to 16:9 :).
Only minor problem: if you livestream your gameplay in steam, you can only use max 1920x1080 16:9 as streaming-resolution. (but you still have 3440x1440 at your screen)

Nah that is all good, I only want it for my own enjoyment. I imagine it is like high refresh in that you can't go back to 60hz once you get used to it. Shame all the decent monitors appear to be sold out where I am, so it will have to wait.

Was thinking of a RTX 3080 when they are actually available but decided I will hold on to my current card and perhaps get an ultrawide instead. Though looks like a wait either way :/

Using a alienware, rly happy with it. Got 2 here, image/picture quality is real good after some adjustments and using the correct icc profile.

Also using it only for my own entertainment, but often i stream public my gameplay on Combat Area. Got a decent pc and internet connection, doesnt matter :)

Hi !! Sorry to necro this, but are you guys having any problem with tooltips? My monitor is 2560X1080, and all tooltips appears half outside the monitor. This is really annoying

Mouse 3 ;-)

3840x1080 here. Runs just fine.

Some of the gear in here makes me want to turn bandit and start robbing people.

and will a rtx 4070 deliver enough fps to run it smoothly on ultrawide? (Samsung g9 120hz 49")

Well this is a bit of a necro of my thread but since this I decided against an ultrawide and went for a 43" 144hz 4k monitor instead.

I don't know what resolution you would be running at but I have an RTX 4090 and DayZ still drops well below 100FPS at max settings with the Foliage Smoothing setting absolutely killing FPS

I am guessing your monitor would have a resolution of something like 5120x1440 and I would say you can run it but you will have to play with settings.

DayZ isn't particularly well optimised and has no upscaling options like FSR or DLSS either
