triple moniters help

[Brett_UK]

ok so at the moment i have the acer preadtor x34 3444x1400p and im adding 2 27's to the setup....

my question is how will it handle the 2 27's bneing 1080p and the x34 being 1440p ?

will it run them at 1440 or will it run the x34 at 1080p ? or will it run the x34 @1440p and the 27's @1080p ?

will it cause issues in games etc being 2 different res, most times games will only be run on the main display though.

You can choose which resolution you want each monitor to run at by going into the display preferences within Windows.

oh ok easy as that then so if a gamei run on the x34 @144p and use it on all 3 moniters what will it do to the 1080p moniters ? will it run or not run on them at all ? or will it down grade to run all 3 at thje same time ?

I don't know about games and resolution differences. And do you mean 144Hz? 144p is awfully low resolution.

im just asking as i dont mind just useing a single moniter for gaming but would like to split it to all 3 if i wanted.

dont really wanna pay for 2 27's at 1440p with g-sync lol the x34 was expencive enouth and to match it would mean another acer preadtor 27 x 2  lol

It won't be possible, NVIDIA Surround requires all monitors to be set to the same resolution. The central monitor would have to be lowered to the same resolution, and furthermore it would have to be 16:9 (1920 × 1080) which means the image would be stretched or have big black bars on the sides of the central monitor.

You just won't be able to use them in NVIDIA Surround to span games across multiple monitors, you can still use them all on the desktop just fine.
