I have updated the drivers for my 660ti 3gb card and used nvidia software to optimize the card for my screen (LG 21:9).

I set the in-game resolution to 2560x1080 but I still get the black bars when in-game. My desktop screen works fine however at the 21:9 resolution.

I also made sure to use the included dual link dvi cable on the dual link port of my gpu although I tried both dvi ports to be safe, but nothing has worked.

I'm not sure what simple thing I'm missing.

The only thing I have not found is a manual scaling option on my nvidia software in case that is the problem...

Found the main nvidia menu and tried scaling from gpr and display with different settings and also with scaling turned off. Still no difference in-game and far cry continues to be displayed in what appears to be 16:9.
