Pretty much like the title states

I have a couple 1080p 24" gaming monitors that I had used in the past. They're Asus brand, I dont remember the specs. I do know they're either 2 or 3 ms response time. And right now I have an ASUS ROG SWIFT 27" Gsync 2k I'm using now

Can I set them all up on a 3 monitor stand and actually use all 3 for gaming? Or will the resolution differences wreak havoc between them all?
I'm using a tried and true 1080ti as well. The card has enough outputs for 'em. I just dont know if they will all play nice together.
Thx for your time :)

In my experience you cannot easily do this. You would have to run them all as the same res.

What would be AWESOME is if you could run your combination of monitors in portrait landscape portrait, but that has not been supported by AMD or Nvidia for years and years. I have tried that also.. no dice. If you search reddit you can find some sweet screen shots of PLP setups from back in the day.

What you might be able to do is run your ROG 27 as a 2560x1080 with black letterbox strips down the top and bottom... That is probably your best bet and what I would be trying to get to work. I have gotten something similar to work with out of the box standard software. I think it was AMD eyefinity in that example. Features change version to version with AMD and Nvidia so you may want to try older versions even if you strike out on the current release software. Failing that, you can start researching on custom configs.
