Regardless of how wide or narrow you make the viewport, you will always get the same width rendered. Basically you can't give yourself a wider field of vision. You can make the height whatever you want, EQ will just give you more vertical periphery. If you make your viewport half the width of the screen and centered but still the full height, you'd see the same amount width-wise, but have double the top/bottom viewing area. Just everything will be half size.

P.S. - Personally, I don't use a viewport and never will. I want as much 3D rendered as possible with windows floating on top (mostly non-transparent except for hitsmode chat window which is completely invisible).

P.P.S. - I also wanted to point out that using a viewport doesn't affect framerate for good or bad. This is also why I don't use it. I might as well get as much 3D as possible.
