Triple display mixed resolutions undistorted - Nvidia or AMD?

Does Nvidia or AMD allow gaming on triple monitors with mixed resolutions?

I know on AMD you can mix resolutions, but Eyefinity will stretch or distort the image on some monitors (it picks the highest common resolution that all 3 monitors can support, then drives each monitor at that resolution which may result in stretching etc.). I haven't tested with the latest/beta drivers, but I assume this is unchanged or did AMD enable supporting the native resolutions without stretching?

Anyone with Nvidia card, have you tried mixing resolutions and did it work?

Example situation is all monitors have same vertical resolution, but center monitor is wide screen (1920x1200) and side monitors are not (1600x1200). I'm also curious what would happen using a catleap in the mix.

I'm running CAT 12.3 but drivers before were fine too.

I have dual LCDs one is

Alienware 120hz 1920x1080
and
Viewsonic 1680x1050

They both run at native resolutions and also at different frequencies.

So my Viewsonic is running at 60hz at its lower rez and the Alienware is running at 120Hz 1:1 non stretched 1920x1080 in games.

No issues at all.

With three monitors I would put the oddball rez in the center.

But gaming across all three. You have to pick 1 rez not three separate ones. It treats the three as one. So you need to pick a verticle rez from the game.

I don't know of any games that have a setting for three different display resolutions.

Buy a new LCD that matches the rez if you are going to do 3 lcd gaming and want native on all three.
