So i have 3 Monitors.

Main big monitor which stands in middle "Dell S2716DG 27 Inch TN Anti-Glare LED-backlit LCD Gaming Monitor (Black) (1 ms Response Time, QHD 2560 x 1440 at 144 Hz, Nvidia G-Sync"

And two side monitors. "Philips 243V7QJABF 23.8-Inch IPS Full HD Monitor"

Whenever i try to run them in Surround it makes the resolution super bad, turns it to like 3068x768 Or something similar.
Is there anything I can do to make it reasonable so I can play on a multi display set up?

Appriciate any help.

What build are you connecting them to, and via what outputs / connectors?

No kidding, you're trying to run a surround setup with monitors of different resolutions? Is that even meant to work?

Quick check on google says no, though apparently you may be able to 'trick' Nvidia surround into it.

If you're not trying ti run a surround gaming experience though, probably just run the multiple monitors via Windows settings.

If you are trying to game across multiple monitors, you want 3 of the same ideally... or else what's the point of running 2 extra cheap monitors next to a much better main display.. you could have just bought 3 cheap monitors.

It's just something i looked into since I have them for work purposes anyway.

I realize you are meant to use 3 of same models preferably but It did say that there was a way to as u mentioned "Trick Nividia" To work.

I'm just not sure how to since I've tried upscaling the side monitors to 1440p but the issue still presists as the surround comes up with a weird resolution of 3068x768..

Ah, they're different resolutions, won't work, need to all be the same for surround gaming.

Can you mix and match monitors for surround? - EVGA Forums

I have one 30" Dell 2560x1600 (thing is a dream no dead pix after 7 years!!!) and I happen to own also (2) brand new 1920x1080 23" led lcd monitors Can I run a realistic widescreen NV surround set up with the 30 in the middle and the 23 inchers on the sides? ...

Tbh even if it 'worked' it probably wouldn't look very good at all. The different resolutions and pixel densities on different screen sizes, with different refresh rates... ick

I have read that I could downscale my 1440p to 1080p and that could work better. I'll try that out when I get home from work.
