To start off, I have 3 monitors, two are 1080p and one 1440p, I followed @LinusTech's tutorial on super sampling for nVidia cards and was able to push both 1080p monitors to 1440p successfully. So I said, lets take it a step further I decided to try to use nVidia Surround to use the two supersampled monitors and one native-1440p monitor to game on effectively running at a resolution of 7680x1440 (6k?). Went to enable it and the nVidia control panel doesn't enable it, when I clicked cancel it then says its enabled, but doesn't change anything (it also changed the resolution to 5760x1080. After exiting that window, the control panel crashes and downscales all monitors to 1080p.

This is the inital setup I did: http://prnt.sc/bpd07s , when clicking Enable Surround, the button turns blue as in the screenshot though does not do anything. When you hit cancel, this shows up: http://prnt.sc/bpd0e6 , I was able to recreate this scenario several times and when you click disable surround this happens: http://prnt.sc/bpd0h6 (Control Panel Crashes) along with this all monitor positioning and primary monitor selection is reset, however when you click the X to exit, it exits normally: http://prnt.sc/bpd13l , from here if you click configure: http://prnt.sc/bpd17x (Control Panel Crashes). I then theorized that its a bug with the control panel as I have been able to use surround at 5760x1080 (across 3 monitors) and decided to wait and debug it using MS:VS and found the following information: http://prnt.sc/bpd1c8 . My question to the LTT community is: "Has anyone else had this issue? and if so, have you fixed it?"

 

PC Setup:

CPU: i7 6700k OC @ 4.28Ghz (Watercooled)

RAM: 32Gb DDR4-3400

GPU: EVGA GTX Titan (Watercooled)

All drivers and software (that's relevant) are up to date according to nVidia.
