It's all in the title 😛

I am a sim racer and would like to change my view a bit to something more realistic.
Having 3 monitors at 27inch 1920x1080 165hz in horizontal mode with NVIDIA Surround is great.
But i want to use my 4k TV 43inch in horizontal mode and 2 of my 27inch in vertical mode on eatch side of the tv, the 3th one i will use on top of the TV as my chat reader etc...
I tried in Nvidia but you cannot keep the monitors in vertical mode if you enable surround and playing in window mode and drag the program across the 3 monitors is also not working.
I've tried some resolution programs but with no succes.

Am i missing something here ?

Thanks in advance.
 
There is not a good way to do it using nvidia surround if it's possible at all.

found these which talk about messy ways to get it done: https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/q90etp/spanning_3_monitors_2_portrait_and_1_landscape/


Effectively it seems like you'd need to come up with a custom resolution to run in a windowed mode. You could also try a custom resolution in fullscreen while using something like Borderless Gaming to force borderless mode, but I'm not sure that would work given single screen detection. Sounds like SRWE might end up being the best solution, but since I don't have the ability to test it myself I figured I'd just leave everything I found.

Thank you for the information, and i will look into it, i also read that the best solution could be AMD's Eyefinity, it allowes you to do 2 portrait and 1 landscape monitor as one monitor, but i can't confirm it, as i got a RTX 3080TI so i am out of luck, probably stuck with the 3 landscape monitors :)
