    It's a toss-up. Some times the HUD will be placed towards the center of the screen since the game will think you have surround/eyefinity and try to place the HUD on the central screen.

    Others will stretch the HUD, some will work normally, it's really dependant on the game.

    Some of them might not recognize the resolution at all even.

    Widescreen Gaming forum/website became popular when the 1st 16:9 displays came out and games were still 4:3. They may have an answer.

    I can tell you: bad.
    A normal 2560x1440 screen will give you a sharper image. Might not be that big, but it will look definitely better.
    And you can always play in window mode at 2560x1080 if whatever reason you want to do that.
