It’s a beast, but pushing the newest games at a resolution of 3440 by 1440 takes a pretty significant amount of power. Running games like Doom at a 21:9 aspect ratio is also a whole new experience; being able to see things in your peripheral vision helps you to feel much more locked into the game’s experience. It’s a neat middle ground between a standard monitor and virtual reality.
