I currently have a Dell U3415W 3440x1440 display.  Based on the specs below, would I see any benefits to switching to a ultrawide 4K display or would my PC specs/GPU not be powerful enough to see the benefits?  If so, any recommendations that I can look into that would be a step up from my current display?

I recently got the Dell Alienware AW3821DW which I'm liking a lot. It's 3840 x 1600 IPS, G-Sync ultimate, HDR 600. Can run up to 144Mhz but think you have to enable some extreme mode for that which causes overshoot so really it's 120Mhz which is plenty for me. I managed to snag it with a 30% discount (20 on Dell site + 10 work affiliation) in total which made it a decent deal. I'm not sure I'd pay the full price for it though. 

Think it'd have about 25% more screen that your current one so you'd see a reduction of about that in your FPS which would give you an idea if your card could handle it or not. It wouldn't be as demanding as 4K but I think you might want a 2080 Super though. I'm using a 2080ti and MSFS runs on Ultra fine for me.

Be aware there are no ultra-wide 4K monitors. They’re all 16:9. You have a choice of 16:9 2560*1440 displays or a 21:9 one. The best are listed here.

Come back if you need an opinion. Be aware those that can run at 30Hz will give the smoothest performance.
