Using two monitors with different resolutions to extend screen (one graphics card)

[bio4320]

Is this possible? I have a Zotac GeForce GTX 760 card and a 1280 x 1024 monitor connected to a vga adaptor for DisplayPort and a 1440 x 900 monitor on DVI. Is there a way to extend the 1440 x 900 monotor without changing its resolution? Thank you! (windows 8.1, nvidia drivers)

Windows should allow for multiple resolutions based on max resolution for the monitors - however, the desktop wall paper is only displayed based on the main monitor's resolution (i.e. main monitor = 1024 x 768, 2nd monitor = 1920 x 1080, the wallpaper will not cover the entire desktop.

Okay, I've seen online that it "should" but I can't get it to work. It automatically lowers the main monitor resolution, and doesn't let me change it back.

Can you set the monitor that has the highest resolution as the primary display and the other as the extended display?

EDIT: Created a "custom resolution" in the NVIDEA control panel and that seemed to fix things
