I'm not sure anyone has ever done that ^^
Would be better than 2x 16:9 as the Crosshair is in the middle of the bezel in this setup.
P.S you can only do a 2:1 Setup with a 2560x1080 and 1920x1080 on AMD AFAIK.

thanks for the help, yes im running an amd graphic card, the r9 390.
another question though, the 21:9 monitor im getting is a little lower in height to the one i have, one of it is 11.3 inch and the other 12.27 inch. will it look or interact weirdly or will it even work properly for gaming?

It will look weird for sure.
As its scaling Pixel based and not real size.
There is a way to fix this in some setups that doe not have the same Pixel size height.
But im not sure if this scaling Option also Shows up on normal Setup...

ok thanks, just 1 last question, whats the aspect ratio of this if i put 1 16:9 and 1 21:9 monitor together?
oh and i just found out from a blizzard rep that editing the hex values to force a different resolution like 21:9 or eyefinity would not result in a ban, if you could pass that on to the appropriate topic/forum that would be great for everyone out there!
cheers! :)

How's that relevant to this thread?

What game?

Their customer support aren't the ones who make game development choices either, as if that was true then they wouldn't have hotfixed Overwatch on release.
