triple monitor different refresh rates

[p0mpous]

can i run 3 monitors 1 at 144hz the other 2 at 60hz and if i can will the centre monitor still run at 144hz

No - it's best to keep the monitors the same refresh rate, if not also the same brand.

You may find you get flickering issues or even one of the monitors blacking out if set at different refresh rates. Specially if uneven refresh rates such as 144Hz and 60Hz (not so much 120Hz and 60Hz). This is due to the fact that it's the same graphics card dishing out the frames to each monitor and needs to stay in sync for each. It's actually best to run them all at 60Hz (if that's the max the other monitors can handle - however thats a waste for the higher refresh monitor).

I'm assuming you don't have G-SYNC or FreeSYNC on them?

i never run any sync technology

Yeah... you are probably going to run into issues then...

Consider using V-SYNC. It caps FPS to 30, 60, or 120. Then if your monitors is set up on 60Hz and 120Hz, it would likely work without glitching out and stay in sync. Else set all monitors to 60Hz (or get different monitors).

i tend to run games at about 100fps mostly

The V-SYNC will cap it down to 60 FPS then. The 120Hz monitor will just hold each frame a split second longer (60x2 = 120).

i wont ever run v sync i never have done never will do i have sli 1080s so i really just ramp the settings up till im around 100fps i want the full 144hz in the middle screen and 60hz will be fine for the sides will it work or not they will all use displayport

I tested possibility to run 2 my monitors in different modes with different refresh rates and didn't notice any problems.

i run 2 monitors one 144hz for gaming and another thats 60 for youtube wikis and things like that
if i ever try to run a game on both monitor it generally lockes the framerate to 60 (though i rarely ever use both for gaming)

can i run different brand 144hz

can i get any 144hz 24inch monitors for like £150

Yeah, brand doesn't matter too much...

But monitor input lag and response times could be different. Try to keep them as close as possible for the most optimal performance. The human eye will notice 5ms vs 1ms or 2ms response time when placed side-by-side... well I can at least. And if input lag is higher on one monitor compared to the other, you will notice a split second delay in it's update.

I'm not saying it's not possible, rather it's an easy way to run into issues.

Some 144Hz will auto-toggle across to 120Hz with V-SYNC. Then you are actually running at 60Hz + 120Hz and the monitor is just smart enough to keep in sync. Same deal if you are using G-SYNC, etc... doesn't matter what the FPS are then, the monitor syncs the refresh rates accordingly.

Well 3 144hz monitors will need the gtx 1080 to see them at 144hz if you're running 1080p monitors

it costs frames to do more monitors but a bigger FOV

you could get a ultra wide same FOV as 3 monitors may be cheaper than just 3 1080p monitors but I'm not European also it can be a higher resolution

then why bother with 1080p :l
