So, I have 2x Dell U2311H and 1x Fujitsu P24W-5 monitors.

My Fujitsu has a native res of 1920x1200 while the other displays are both 1920x1080.

I thought it would cause no problem since the Fujitsu can be compensated for aspect when switched to 1920x1080.

Unfortunately I was wrong. The NVIDIA surround setup forces 1280x1024 on all displays for some reason.

If all else fails I'll buy a third U2311H although it would be a shame since my Fujitsu is much better as a main.

Is there any possible way to circumvent this problem?

Get an AMD card; Eyefinity works great with mismatched displays.
o_O

Using Surround, all three displays must be the same native resolution. It is an advantage to have matched displays; color is better across the three screens.
