Have a 3090 ftw3 ultra running 1 g9 Odyssey in the center at 5140x1440 and 2 g5 Odyssey monitors on each side at 2560x1440. When I turn on surround in the nvidia control panel it gives me 1 resolution of 7680x1440 which stretches the center 49 inch image and treats it as if its 2560x1440 like the 2 side monitors. Is there any way to keep it at 5140x1440 in its native resolution so I get 10260x1440? I must be missing something somewhere.

    If nothing has changed with nVidia, all monitors must be the same resolution for Surround use.  It was cited in the Surround feature at the nVidia site somewhere.
     
    I was using (3) 2560x1440 27" with my 1080ti SLI in Surround gaming.  Used SLI center Primary monitor for high FPS gaming.  2080ti KP didn't help much for Surround, but got rid of the space heater cards.  Upgrading to the 38" with 1600 vertical resolution is a huge improvement in general computer use and less clutter with single screen.
     
    Waiting for the 3090 FTW3 and KP to see how it works with 3840x1600.  I 'd expect too much for the 3090 to drive (3) 4K native surround for a sim rig.  Even though we were marketed an 8K gaming card...

    Pretty disappointing that nvidia isn't able to allow multiple monitors to run in their native resolutions especially when all are at 1440 so how hard can it possibly be to do this?  Not sure why they can't make it happen when I've seen some work around 3rd party programs mentioned in the past. Don't want to take a chance messing up something in my monitor using those. 2020 right.
