    I'm trying to get three different monitors to work together.
    The biggest one is 1920x1200
    The middle one is 1680x1050
    The smallest one is 1366x768

    1366*3= 4098
    So i should use 4098x768 as resolution.

    The highest I can select in NVCP is 3072x768.

    What do I do to get the custom resolution I want?

    The big and small one are 16:10 ratios while the small one is 16:9. Maybe that has something to do with it. I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to monitors though. Just an observation

    Can't you make a custom resolution?

    Not sure how well Surround handles different screen resolutions/ratios in surround, it's not been long since AMD enabled that feature in Eyefinity iirc

    When surround is activated, I cannot create a custom resolution.
    A tip via google suggested te create a custop resolution per monitor, activate it and then activate surround.
    However, even then, I am still limited.

    1366x768 on all 3 LCDs, then enable surround?

    Not sure tbh, I'm running 3 x 1080p LCDs

    surround works by taking the smallest display available in the three you have etc, or if all the same then its a no brainer it takes that one thats the same.

    it even says how it works like that somewhere.

    Could it be the aspect ratio setting in NVCP?

    Set to stretched/centred/scaled etc

    I gave up yesterday.
    I hooked up 2x 19" doing 1280x1024, next to my 24" doing 1920x1200.
    Resolution wise it was ok, however, the image on the 24" had black borders left and right.
    I tried switching scaling options in NVCP, nothing worked.
    Maybe in the future i'll get three monitors with the smae resolution.

    This thread can be closed, thanks for the help.
