How would this fare:

Two SXGA (5:4 Aspect Ratio) 19" monitors, flanking:
One 24" 1080p (16:9) monitor

The difference in height between the two monitors exactly 0.1" inch, so I can live with that. The squarish monitors are only 1024 pixels high though, and the 1080p monitor is, well, 1080 pixels high. How would this work out as an Eyefinity setup? Or for NVIDIA Surround?

I can't find the link to the article that Toms did on this. This is the only thing I can find that would be slightly usable. Scroll down and look at cordedcastle's post and the pic.

Basically it will get rendered at the correct setting, then it will show as best it can. But there will be things missing off the screen. Things that you should have seen but didn't because it's in the "hidden" area. You are missing more then 56 pixels, as there is a difference on the other side of the monitor as well. (1920 vs whatever size the 19" monitors have.)
It wont' work with Nvidia at all. It should work with with AMDs newer drivers. I wouldn't do this however as you'll end up with parts of the screen missing. Run all three monitors, but don't enable eyefinity. Just play games on the 1080 screen in the center, and use the other monitors for other things.

What parts would be missing? A strip 56 pixels high on both the side monitors?
