Nvidia surround - custom res and different aspect ratios

I just bought my GTX 1050 and I'm loving the features so far.

But I'm curious about Nvidia Surround:
I have 2 monitors with different aspect ratios - one is 1600x900 (16:9), the other is 1440x900(8:5)

When I try using Surround, it defaults to setting both screen to a res of 1440x900, which results in pretty terrible stretching on the wider 16:9 monitor. I haven't tried much gaming with it like this yet, so I can't say whether it displays with square or non-square stretched pixels in-game (I don't remember there being any readily apparent issues like that).

Is there any tool or something that can maybe trick Surround into leaving both screens at full-resolution/correct aspect ratio (i.e. 3040x900)? Or should I give up on trying this until I get some matching monitors?
 


So essentially it HAS to set the (2, in my case) monitors to the same resolution even if natively they're different sizes?
I'll keep that in mind. That's a bit boring but like I said, I haven't done too much gaming, and trying to play shooters/RPG when you have to adjust the bezel for 110 pixels makes most games not even worth trying to play like this.

Thanks ko888 !
 


Yes because that is how display spanning works.
