34" ultrawide vs 2x27"

[Tibi 0]

Hello!

I am having a Samsung C34F791 3440x1440 34" UltraWide monitor which I am thinking to replace. The main reason is I am using the setup for MSFS2020 and Home Office as well and for Office tasks my preference is 2x27" monitors with slightly lower resolution (ie.2560x1440) and also my expectation would be to gain FPS in MSFS. I use the monitor in native resolution and MSFS in Full screen mode.

With 2x27" setup I would use MSFS on 1 Monitor full screen, on the other Monitor maybe some browser, Vpilot, Charts would be open, but nothing GPU intense. Can someone comment if it would be easier for the GPU to handle compared to the existing 34" full screen?

My system is:

I7-10700K, 32GB RAM, RTX 2080 Super, Win11

Thanks!

I would keep the 34". It will be best for flight sim and great for work too. Just add a second monitor for charts maybe you would only need a 22 or 24 for this.

I do not know if it is MSFS settings or Monitor limitation, but on this 34" monitor I am not too pleased with graphics quality, especially the clouds are very pixelated. In the settings the Volumetric Clouds are already set to ULTRA. render scaling is on 100, if I increase it then my FPS starts to drop....that is also a reason I started to think in a bit smaller, lower res. monitor 🤷‍♂️

I also have a RTX 2080 Super. My center monitor is 3440x1440, which renders MSFS at full screeen, and i have two additional 2560x1440 side monitors running another flight sim applications at the same time. CPU is Ryzen 5950X.

My computer handles this configuration easily.

If you don't have a fast internet connection this could contribute to the pixilation you are seeing. Do other games look perfectly fine? I would lower graphic settings before lowering resolution to maintain FPS.
