3840 x 2160 pixels or 4096 x 2160

I want to set some games resolution to 4096 x 2160 (my true native res) But to eliminate black vertical borders on several different games I just use a program to override and make 4096 into 3840. However I then can't select 4096 and have to use only 3840. Sounds like just leaving it alone would work fine,but many games don't scale to 4096 and have borders. To complicate things some games think your monitor has only a few lo-res options in borderless,or window without fullscreen etc. This is annoying. I am very used to Nvidia contol panel and have tried all scall to full screen-aspect ratio etc no avail. Any help would be much appreciated

But there is 2560x1080.

There are lots of different 1080p resolutions. There are no 2.5K resolutions.

Big difference between 1080p at 16:9 vs 21:9

Also there is an Ultra wide ratio wider then 21:9 but I can't think of it off hand.

Also there is the 1080p res for when using 3x 16:9 screens via NVIDIA Surround also.
