Have you tried just giving each monitor it's own cable from the GPU?

So I've got a 1080ti that I use for gaming, however I've got other screens that I don't game on, that the 1080ti also outputs video to.

Would I see any advantage to adding something like a 1050 to my system to output to the other screens to take the load off the 1080ti?

So a recent driver update has stopped the custom resolution fix from working. When I set the custom resolutions on each screen and then go into the surround config menu, it defaults all screens to their normal refresh rates and won't let me enable 5760x1080.

When you are in the surround setup screen, do you have 1x3 or 1x2 as your selection under the 'Topology' drop down menu?

Go into the Nvidia control panel and under Display>Change resolution, select your monitor and select 'Customize' and set it a custom resolution. Set the timing to manual, and in there, it will allow you to change the polarity. Through changing and testing, you can find a combination of polarities ...

So after some research, it would appear the issue is something called sync polarity, and it can vary from monitor to monitor, and it has something to do with how the monitor vertically and horizontally syncs the picture, and if your sync polarity is different between the screens then surround won't ...

So I used to have three RT270 (1080p 60hz) and play about half my games across the three and the rest of them on just the one screen, so I decided to get a better middle screen for those games I play on just the one screen.

I picked up an Acer XB271HUA, and the idea was that I could play games on ...

AFAIK nvidia doesn't allow mixed resolutions, so you would need your middle Monitor to run 1920x1080p anyway.
Not entirely sure about mixed Refresh rate...


I know that if I got the 1440p screen I would have to set it to a 1080p resolution when gaming across the 3 screens, and I know that when in ...

Right, so I'm upgrading my main middle gaming screen. I've narrowed it down to two different models, but I'm really unsure of which one to get, and could use some advice.

My current setup is three 27" 1080p 60hz IPS panels, and a 24" 1080p 60hz screen at the top. I want to do away with the top 24 ...

I got my pre order in for the 1080ti and I play at 5760x1080 so I'll let you know which games get 60fps+ when I get it.

Awesome! Thank you so much

Thanks for the reply. Have you used different cards before? Is there a problem when installing 2 different drivers or anything?

Not quite sure what to say, other than hello!

So I have a GTX970 running 4 screens. Three RT270's that operate in surround, and a P2450H that is mounted above the middle screen. I am soon getting a GTX1080, but I want it dedicated to the three 27's. Could I get something like a GT610 to power the 24" screen? Obviously not run in SLI, but just ...
