    Question Recommendations for choosing an Ultrawide monitor ?

    I need recommendations for an ultrawide monitor due to mixed info online. Any cost is fine as long as it is 21:9, 1080p, IPS (not OLED or VA) and at least 100 hz (preferably 144 hz). Edit: I live in eastern Europe and can mostly use Amazon.de for outside the country electronic goods.

    Question for 3440x1440 get 3060 12G or 3060 Ti but only 8G. Upgrading from 2060 6G

    With the lackluster launch of the 4050 8G, only the 3060 12G and 3060 T 8G are in the race. Context (skip): The issue is that at 3440x1440 the usual benchmarks don't apply as gains lower. In fact even 1440p benchmarks can't be trusted because the reviewer sometimes don't specify whether they...
