Hey everyone, I just set up triple monitors for the first time, and I'm having a really tough time getting everything to work smoothly. After configuring Nvidia Surround, my screens were flickering for about 10 minutes, which I thought was just a driver issue. Eventually, the Nvidia control panel crashed but then restarted with the monitors all stretched out. Then I tried launching a game and encountered tearing on my middle monitor. I recorded it, but now the game is frozen, and my screens keep going black and coming back on every 10-20 seconds. Is this typical for triple monitor setups, or am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be super appreciated! I have videos of the tearing if that helps too.

It would help to know your PC specs and monitor details. Are they 4K? What's the refresh rate? Those factors can really affect performance.
Nvidia Surround can be tricky since it makes your system think all three monitors are one huge display, which can create issues if there's a mismatch in refresh rates. I'd recommend just using the Windows display settings to extend your displays without Nvidia Surround for now. It might solve some of the problems you're encountering.
They work fine as separate monitors. I'm trying to use them as one long display for racing games, which is where the issues pop up. No problems otherwise!
Sorry for not mentioning that! I have a 5070ti, Ryzen 7 9800x3d, 32GB RAM, and 1440p 27-inch monitors set to 144Hz.
