tl;dr ? bold last line

I had basically given up on this issue of tearing on my side monitors and put it down to cheap monitors and mixed res setup.

So, FFWD to today. I recently upgraded to RX 580 and was messing about with AMD custom res utility in Crimson while
finally getting mixed rotation ...

If it's just for youtube, you could easily get away with using onboard graphics. (assuming you have that option)

This is my experience with a cheap mixed-res eyefinity setup.
tl;dr?
Save up and buy a 21:9

It's been an interesting year or so for me, having never used multi before then.
It is incredible, and mostly worth all the trouble, but not always.

I played with SoftTH on an spare monitor and again ...

Having this weird issue where any time I try to adjust bezel compensation in CCC it adds an extra 100 pixels (ish) to my total res. Eventually I have to revert back to my stock grouped res (4480x1080 missmatched 5:4 - 16:9 - 5:4) or revert to factory defaults and start again.

Upon trying bezel ...

Works for me, but I have AMD cards, v1.9.32.0.8 game version and WSF v3.4 r712.

I needed to manually set my resolution as the auto detect does not understand mixed resolution setups,
this might not be your issue but it might be worth giving manual settings a go.

What size monitors?

You could use a bit of a CRU cludge to drop one of the 1080p monitors to 1440x*
and then scale with gpu but placing it in the middle as stated above would probably look best.

Also, what game? Maybe SoftTH would work better for you.

There's only two mate, trying to decide if I want another 16:9 or a pair of 5:4s.

Yes, they both have native 1080p, the smaller 24" is set to 1600x900 to match the DPI better.

Spent last night trying my old 23" LG panel alongside my newer 27" AOC with the new beta driver. (expecting scaling to work)
No matter which setting I chose it just looked horrible due to them both being 1080p, and yet, different sizes/dpi.
So, I gave up on the idea of eyefinity all over again.
