Surround Gaming vs Productivity

Okay, I currently have 3 H236HL's. The glossy IPS, thin bezel Acer's. I ordered 2 U2414H's from Dell and am selling the H236HL's at cost to my friend. Still original packaging, two weeks old, blah blah.

 

The problem is this: I really want a 27-28" middle monitor. Most likely a Swift, if it's colors and angles can at least be tolerable compared to a PB278Q. However, this means I can't do surround gaming since it's a different resolution... And 1440p does not downscale to 1080p.

 

I could get a 3rd U2414H or I could just... not surround game. Are there any workarounds to surround game with different resolutions for NVIDIA? Or does AMD offer this? I intend to upgrade from my 670 SLI setup either way. I'm willing to go AMD if they offer different resolutions, but then I would probably get a PB278Q instead of a Swift since it'd have no G-Sync.

 

Any suggestions/opinions on what I should do?

AMD currently has an Eyefinity update in the can supporting setups with different resolutions. Will come with catalyst 14.6, as per tech/pc news sites.

Oh sweet, just saw that! That would be a lifesaver as to getting the monitor I want. Thanks. :)
