to run games on 3 monitors you need them to be identical in specs.

So I finally achieved my quad monitor set-up. Initially, I only planned to run 2 monitors (my main display 1440p 165hz ips, and my secondary display 4k 60hz, vertically stacked). Then, after I threw an old 1080p 60hz monitor in on the left, I quickly realized that I wanted to run a triple monitor set-up, with a 4k 60hz on top. The only problem is... NVIDIA Surround doesn't want me to be happy.

 

(for reference, the middle monitor is a 1440p 165hz, and the left and right one's are 1080p 144hz)

 

The resolution was capped at 3072 x 768p 60hz, I couldn't change any of the settings. I initially thought that maybe you have to have the same resolution and refresh rate, so I knee capped my main monitor to 1080p 144hz (to match the others)... No luck, same result.

 

Does anyone have any idea what the issue is?

you want the 3 monitors to be  unlinked. you can't do something like run a game across all 3
