Nvidia Surround Resolutions

So I recently just got 3 monitors, all dell but not the exact same (each bought a couple of years seperate from each other)

2 of the monitors are 1920x1080, and the third is 1680x1050.

 

I knew that in surround it chooses the lowest resolution monitor and puts it across all 3 screens, so I expected 1680x1050 on all 3 monitors.

 

However, when I enabled surround, I got a resolution of 3840x1024 for all 3 monitors - which is EXTREMELY Stretched. Even the 1050p monitor is out of its proper aspect ratio.

 

I can give some screenshots, but can someone help? Im just trying to get them to all run in 1050p (At least)

 

Thanks!

The only thing I can think of is to put the 1680x1050 monitors off to the right side, and then set all monitors to 1080p and do 1080x5760.

It should go like this | old 1080p monitor | | new 1080p monitor | | old 1050p monitor |

How can I do 5760x1080 if I only have 2 1080p monitors XD

force 1080p on the older monitor, it can be done! it may not actually be 1080p, but it can still do 1080p, just won't look as good, but for the sacrifice of better quality. OR you can put all the monitors to 1024p and do it at 3840x1024.

How would I force 1080p?

go to where you change the resolution, put it all the way to 1080p, if there's an option, if not, look up your monitor online and how to OC the resolution.
