Can 4K (9.4 megapixel per frame) video cards support 5K at half height (7.3 MP)?

I'm really interested in the new Dell Ultrasharp 49" 32:9 (5120 x 1440 ~= 7.3 MP) display, but most laptops only support 4096x2304@60Hz (9.4 MP)...



Since this 32:9 aspect ratio display is delivering fewer actual pixels, curious if video cards are really limited by total pixels, or if limited by horizontal resolution and vertical resolution?



Specifically I'm using the XPS 13 9350 which has an Intel Core i7-6560U / Intel Iris Graphics 540 with DP support for 4096x2304@60Hz.



Would there be any Linux specific issues running this?
