Nvidia gtx970 3tv willing to do 5760x1080 but no 5040x1050

Hi. So I require a bit of help from the pros as I am not very good with this stuff, however I do have a basic understanding of computers and I can follow direction.
Here is my first world problem. I am running 3 tvs on my gtx970 card, all thorough display ports. All three tvs have a native display of 1920x1080. With tvs 1080 seems fine for gaming and video but not so much for desktop stuff and programs.
I can bring the display resolutions down to my desired 1680x1050 for each tv manually through the control panel but when I try to turn on surround (physx) it only wants to do 5760x1080 no option for anything else. I would like to get 5040x1050 if possible, that way I can just leave surround on.
What really sucks is that once I am done my games, I need to turn surround off but the control panel forgets everything about my previous 1680x1050 settings so I have to setup all my displays again.
Any good advice or solution would be appreciated.... Thanks in advance

You need to explain a bit about the 1080 resolution not being fine for programs, why not exactly? Are you getting issues with the display cutting off a bit? Is it all around or just one one side?

Hi thanks for your help... What I mean is at 1080 movie quality is ok and I can play games as well but its all a little too pixelated. When I am working on a word document or browsing the web for instance, its just seems hard on the eyes compared to 1050 which just seems to show a lot better. I would imagine that this caused by the fact that these are tvs and not monitors. I hope that helps with the explanation.

A Tv will look a lot grainier than a monitor, unless you are talking about small 1080 TVs, say 24". They are not made for working with the details that monitors are, and the dot pitch is a lot higher the larger screen you get.

Thanks. I understand that but that does not answer my question...

To get the resolution you want you may need to go to the advanced options and set a custom resolution. Keep in mind that does not always work well, and you may end up with a blank image with an "unsupported resolution" or another similar message.
