PhysX not working with monitors

So I have 3 monitors, 2 ACER 21.5 inch with dvi on the left and right, and a ACER 23.5 inch with HDMI in the middle. The PhysX finds both the 21.5 inch, but doesn't find the middle monitor. They are all the same brand, and I'm sure size doesn't matter as they are all 1920x1080 monitors set at 60Hz. Is it because they cables aren't all the same, or what else could it be? And is there any way I can get around this as I wanna play on all 3 monitors using the PhysX, I already use an external software, but its a pain having to open it and adjust the settings for games. Thanks

PhysX is not related to monitors at all. It's not even related to display output.

 

PhysX is just one way of running physics calculations on the computer. The only thing is, that it is used only if the game supports it and very few games do. And even then, you're not going to notice a big performance difference, if you have a modern CPU.

 

tl;dr - firstly, physx doesn't affect your monitors. secondly, don't bother. physx is old and pretty much dead.

The "X of Y" just refer to the fact you have two of the same monitors AFAIK.

So is there a good software to use to do custom resolutions with?

 

Nvidia control panel?
