i wonder if this would be even better...
I was using the ultra wide for gaming but Its not good for anything competitive like shooters...but i think all i got left in me at this point is MMOs or open world games.

Many older games don't support the resolution so you'll end up playing either in a square in the middle or with a super-stretched image, and have to go looking for some hack to get it to work right.
When games do support ultra widescreen resolutions, sometimes they arbitrarily just limit your resolution anyways so you can't use the whole monitor.
When they do support the whole thing, sometimes it's obvious they never really tested their UIs on this scale. Or they artificially limit the FOV slider. Mods and hacks for those too.
On top of that this resolution is very demanding on cards. My 2080 won't handle some games at this resolution on anything other than Low.
As far as productivity goes--it is like having two wide screens so you can do all the same things you can with a dual monitor. The one annoying part is that full-screen takes up the whole width, which for most applications and websites is not very useful. Your document will be in the center and then all of the editing tools will be split to the sides half a mile away.
Nobody can read this thing if I share the screen and that's also even more tax on my GPU if I'm streaming to a friend.
This monitor is an embarrassment of riches.
Having said all that--when it works, it works. I still recommend it to friends if they're looking for something extra. Just know you have to deal with quirks going into this format.

Excel and everything else is awesome on the screen.

This monitor is a curse.

With the *right setup*, this is a god send for sim racers. Not so much for productivity as it is way too big.
