Eyefinity multi resolution display setup help.

[Sniper1k2]

So a few months ago i went from having a single 1920x1080p monitor to that and a 2560x1440p one. Well during christmas time i got another 1080p monitor. They are all 144hz. The 1440p one is 27 inches wide and one 1080p is 27 inches wide aswell. The 2nd 1080p one is 24 inches wide. But that does not exactly matter since the computer should see it by resolutions. Im getting another 1080p 27 inch monitor in a few weeks and wanted to have everything setup so i could turn on eyefinity and run some sim racing games with the triple screen setup.

 

Well that didint turn out well. Ive spent the past 3 hours trying to get it to setup correctly. When i got that 2nd 1080p monitor i turned on eyefinity and it worked just fine. accidentally tabbed over to minecraft and instantly regretted that because triple screen MC is a horror nobody should see. But the point is that when i went over to MC eyefinity worked fine. No tuning or anything, no black bars or blurry screens. It just worked! But when i went to test it out on F1 2019 today as soon as i turned on eyefinity about the lower 1/3rd of the 1440p screen is just one big black box.

I understand what the computer is doing, its simply setting all screens to 1080p pixels tall to match up with each other height wise. But for the life of me i cant figure out how to just make the 1440p monitor stretch all the way downwards so i dont have half my screen taken up by a black box making things unplayable.  Ive now tried rearranging the screens, custom display resolutions and about all the display options the amd thing has to give. I tried setting my 1440p monitor to 1920x1080 before turning on eyefinity in hopes eyefinity would see them all as 1080. But it just reverts the 1440p monitor back to native resolution (1440p) and then gives me the massive ass black box.

 

Can anyone please give me a solution or help me?

It would all be controlled by the game, so see if there are options in the game. But AFAIK most expect all your monitors to have the same resolution / ideally all the same model.

Its not just the games though. Its when im on my desktop and that carries over into the games. Also i know my monitors should ideally be all the same. They are the same brand and basically the same monitor outside of resolution. Same company, same HZ practically same model number outside of a single letter i believe. But for 27 inch monitors i really wanted to have one good one that was detailed and a fitting res. Because 1080p on a 27 inch does seem a bit large since the image is stretched a bit.

 

I wanted triple monitors for sim racing but i needed that one detailed one for games like arma, squad or other games where detail is needed not just for visuals. Most everything i came across said that eyefinity would prob work fine if i just changed the resolution of the 1440p monitor to 1080p before turning on eyefinity. And yeah, it did that first time i turned on eyefinity. But now it wont work the same.

Did you create a new Eyefinity group after changing the center display to 1080p?

Yeah, once i turn on eyefinity i cant change monitor resolutions or do anything with the display tab. When looking at the display tab in the amd window for eyefinity i have about no options. Just rearrange the screens and disable eyefinity.

Update. I reinstalled the old AMD catalyst 15.7.1 and got into the advanced eyefinity setups. From there it took just a few minutes before f1 2019 was up and running like a gem. May need to either lower the settings on it or overclock my 5700xt because it was a solid 40-60 fps. Which hey. Im not complaining at all about that. I know how to fix fps problems easy.
