27"-34"-27" Nvidia Surround Setup

[Ian Feldmann]

Hey guys, so what I want to do is run Nvidia surround on a 34" 21:9 monitor with the two 27" 16:9 monitors that I already own. I know it seems a bit ridiculous but I think it would be awesome.
Here is the 34" one I would like to buy

And here is the model of the two 27" ones I already have

All would have a vertical resolution of 1080 pixels so I think it should work and I measured the heights and it looks like the should all be about 13" in height when in landscape. Has anyone done this before and do you know if it would work at all.
Also, if anyone has suggestions for another really good 21:9 monitor that would work that would be helpful
Thanks for the help!

You should have no issues in creating the custom resolution/nVidia surround.

I'd personally opt for a single 21:9 1440p display, saving you some (but not all, compared to 16:9) compatibility issues and simplifying your desk. The screen height and pixel density differences would annoy my OCDness too much.

Haha I know, but I already have the 27" 16:9s so I figure what the hell!

Understood. Why not get either a 16:9 1440P (which would be great for games that dont support 21:9) or a 21:9 1440p (for games that dont support the 6400x1080 you planned on).

Since theyre not identical monitors, surround gaming is going to look poor (i.e., UI "looks" larger/smaller based on pixel density). No harm in getting a higher resolution/large center monitor and still keeping the two other panels for productivity and surround (where it makes sense).
