NVIDIA Surround

NVIDIA Surround requires the monitors to be the same resolution, so all of your monitors will run at the smallest monitor's resolution. 

Posted

So I just re-arranged my entire desk so that I would be able to have all my monitors in landscape, in order to use NVIDIA Surround.
I have three monitors, the one on the left being 1280x1024, the centre one being 1920x1080, and the one on the right being 1600x1200. When I turn on NVIDA Surround, my 1080p monitor runs at a very low resolution, at 1024x768. Why does it do this? Is there any way that I can get it so that all my monitors run at their correct resolution (while still using surround), or is this because of a difference in aspect ratios? Or maybe something else?
Thanks for your help. This is driving me crazy.

If this is to do with aspect ratios I'm sorry, and sorry if you haven't done this already:

Right click on your desktop, and click on screen resolution. Then change from there

 

Or this...

I did this, and it works. I was just wondering if there was a way to do it with surround.

Correct.

 

Nope currently Nvidia only allows surround if all the monitors are the same if not it downgrades the res of all the others.

;_; Okay.

Guess I have a reason to get more 1080p monitors. ^.^
