I am having a 16:10 monitor and while playing Spec Ops on the same I am getting black bars. I have checked out for the same on the web and have found that the game does not support 16:10 resolution. Is it true?? I have not yet found any officials addressing the same. Is there any solution for running the game on 16:10 resolution without any such issues?? If yes then please let me know it will be very help full.
Even I have heard that the game does not support 16:10 resolution but in my case I am facing the same black bars at 1920x1200 as well. I don’t know what the issue all about is, I have found many people raising this issue but I have not come across any solution fixing this. I have tried updating the graphic card to the latest drivers as well but that’s not helping. I am not having the same issue with other games that I have played but it is just with Spec Ops. If anyone here finds any update on this issue then share it here, it will be appreciated.

It was really helpful, I have now set the SpecOps: The Line to a FoV of 90 and have Enable FXAA in the nvidia control panel and I am not getting the black bars anymore.
