Acer XR382CQK 38-inch 3440 x 1600 Ultrawide IPS Curved Monitor
Acer released the 1299 USD Acer XR382CQK. This 38-inch monitor has a native 3440 x 1600 resolution at 75 Hz (FreeSync compatible) and this is a Ultrawide Curved Monitor, also referred to as UW-QHD.
The IPS panel has a 21:9 aspect ratio and a 2300R curvature. The monitor's has a 75Hz refresh rate and 5-ms response time. There’s also support for AMD’s FreeSync technology, which reduces tearing and generally makes life better for gamers. There’s also a proprietary picture-in-picture mode that lets you display two inputs simultaneously, so you could theoretically use this as a TV and a PC monitor at the same time. It’s certainly big enough.
The monitor has a ZeroFrame design that minimizes bezels and the IPS display supports 172-degree horizontal and 178-degree vertical viewing angles, and a 100 percent sRGB color gamut. The XR382CQK enables tilt from minus-5 degrees to 35 degrees, swivel plus or minus 30 degrees, and adjust the height by up to 5.11 inches. Two 7-watt speakers utilize DTS sound technology for enhanced gaming audio, and the displays offer blue light filtering, ComfyView, and low-dimming
Connectivity is provided by HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2, and USB Type-C (Gen1) with up to 5Gbps data transfer, while a USB 3.0 hub with four ports provides for additional connectivity options.
A nice looking monitor, however I am not sure how the 1299 USD price can be justified.

It will easily do 80hz and maybe 85hz.
Its easy to do 30-80hz freesync range on these.
I can tell you right now, even only 80hz feels really good on my 21:9 freesync.
Its gonna be a while before we have cheaper 100+hz high res 21:9 above 2560x1080 res.
Ive seen 2560x1080 on a 34 inch 21:9 and it did look that good. But the 100hz was nice.

Can you use it with Nvidia card and still increase the Hz?

Unique Resolution
It's definitely a unique resolution for that aspect ratio. The extra pixels are welcome, as long as it doesn't negatively impact visuals in games or programs.
Either way, though, this probably wouldn't be at the top of my list at $1,299.

And? One game doesnt work well = thats it, drop the technology?
Kids logic right there.
Besides there is a workaround already, so your "argument" is invalid.
