Is there any way to set up NVS to stack my monitors one on top of the other?

I've been looking all over the net and haven't even found someone asking the question let alone an answer. I know I can do it by 'activating all displays' and then moving the display icons around, but I would like to play games in surround on three screens like this. I don't even know if it would look any good but I've started now and I wanna see how it plays.

Just spent yesterday making vertical stands for my 3x Acer V243HL.
DO NOT BUY THESE MONITORS FOR VERTICAL SURROUND!!!!!
As I found out the hard way, the slightest head movement and you can see the terrible vert viewing angle of these TN displays... 160 deg my a**

Thinking this setup would require another program to fool windows and nvidia drivers into thinking its one large screen (i don't know why nv control panel doesn't have this as a setup!?!?!). So for me with three 1920x1080 screens the res with a 130 bezel correction would become:

3500 vertically
1920 horizontally

e.g:

LANDSCAPE
LANDSCAPE
LANDSCAPE

Any help would be awesome,

Cheers,

Jim.

I dont think nvidia support 3x vertical monitors, only horizontal.
AMD does support a vertical configuration.


These are the options aviable in Nvidia surround

I dont know if you can rotate a surround display so as to use the portrait mode, then rotate by 90degrees or not.

As for AMD Eyefinity, these are the config options that can be achieved.

EDIT: ATI also supports 3x in vertical mode, and 5x1 in landscape mode to a max res of 8000x900

Looks like I need to update the FAQ picture again.
