Okay so here is the deal, I want to be able to play computer games using all three of my monitors. But I dont want to use NVidia Surround because i just flat out hate surround. I only like it for gaming. But since my monitors are different size it messes up and stretches my main monitor with surround.
Anyone know a way I can game using all three monitors without using surround?

If you're on an Nvidia card, no, I know of no other way. Surround is supposed to stretch your "Desktop" across all 3, making them effectively one display, that's *HOW* gaming on three monitors works, the game has to "see" it as one whole monitor instead of 3. Eyefinity by AMD will have the same effect, it will stretch your main monitor over all 3 screens. It sounds like you want regular, separate windows when not gaming and Surround when you are gaming. Short of going to the Nvidia Control Panel when you're done, I know of no other way to accomplish this, sorry.
