Triple 27" 7680x1440 Surround

Just finished connecting my 3 new Acer XV272u 1440p monitors. Went in to setup nvidia surround everything seemed fine except the max resolution I was allowed to set was 5760x1080. Started doing some google searches and came across the suggestion to use CRU to look at the detailed monitor settings and make sure all three were the same. They were not 2 of the monitors detailed resolutions were 2560x1440 59.5hz +/+. The Third Monitor was 2560x1440 60hz +/-. So I copied the 60hz monitors settings and pasted to the 2 59.5hz monitors, saved and restarted, reconfigured surround and boom 7680x1440 was available. Thought I was good to go but after a reboot the resolution goes back to 5760x1080 and this is where I'm stuck at. Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me some advice

Surround settings not sticking after rebooting would be an NVIDIA driver bug. Does running restart.exe after rebooting make a difference or do you have to reconfigure Surround every time?

No restart does nothing. Does it sound like I'm doing the right thing by copying the one monitors settings to the other 2?

Also reconfiguring surround after the reboot will not allow the resolution to go above 5760x1080

Something doesn't make sense here. You said it worked the first time, so I don't understand why you're not able to do the same thing again. Are all the monitors using DisplayPort, or is one using HDMI?

All using display port. Here's the strange thing after I reboot and the resolution reverts I cannot disable surround without reinstalling the graphics driver
