You want a bezel directly down the middle of your screen?! ie. your crosshairs are going to be blocked. 

 

And it looks like you have your monitors set to different resolutions.

I don't know why you want to run with a big bezel right where you aim. I've actually tried that just for kicks and it was horrible lol. If you are determined to run them like that you need to use either Nvidia Surround or AMD Eyefinity. Since your displays have different native resolutions most likely your mileage may vary anyway. I would just game on the best one and use the other one for other things. I sometimes watch youtube or movies or something when I game.

Yeah dual screen gaming is terrible, single, UW, or triple is the only way to go.

I set them to the same rez before checking back here and got better results, but I will definitely check out nvidia surround.
