1 Good Monitor 2 Eh Monitors w/ Nvidia Surround??

I have a gtx 1080 and each of my monitors are set up with display port cables directly to my graphics card. My middle monitor is 144hz 2560x1440 and the other two are 60hz 1920x1080. I want my better monitor in the middle with the other two on the outside. I have upscaled the 60hz monitors to 1440p and downscaled the maximum hz on the 144hz monitor to only 60 hz, which means that each monitor is running at the same resolution. I want to game at 7680x1440, however in the Nvidia control panel where you set up PhysX and Surround, the only resolution given to me is 3072x768 which looks TERRIBLE and I cannot change or choose another resolution. The icon that is supposed to say that I can change my resolution of all three monitors is greyed out, and I am not sure what to do from here! Someone please help me! Thanks so much

Make sure drivers are up to date. 

See if downscaling the middle monitor to 1080p works. You'd be looking at 5760x1080. 

Regardless of the solution, you are still trying to push 33% more pixels than standard 4k (3840*2160) and likely won't see 60 FPS much.

I have tried setting each monitor to 1080p 60hz, however I am still only given 3 resolutions in the surround app. Each of them leave me with a black rectangle somewhere on my middle monitor. I do not mind running my games at 5760x1080, however I cannot even get this to work! I heard that different resolutions cannot be used for multiple monitors, however each one is exactly the same. I hope there is a solution. I have updated my driver by the way.
