Multiple monitor setup question

[siph33]

Hi!

I am replacing my 60Hz samsung 24" 1080p monitor, with a ASUS ROG Swift.

just ordered a GTX970 and the monitor. (waaaaay too much money, but I keep hearing so many good things about 1440p and gsync.

Anyway, my question is:

Can I use the old 1080p monitor side by side to the 1400p SWIFT for desktop applications?

That would be pretty awesome to use for productivity applications.

Especially if I could use my 24" monitor in portrait mode nest to the main monitor

Yes, should be ok - You will just have odd screen sizes to deal with. The refresh will also be different but will work side by side

Yes.

I'm currently using a 28" ASUS 4k screen flanked by a pair of 24" BenQ 1080p Screens, the transition is horrible between them as there is such a big difference in resolution and small difference in size but I make it work.

Excellent, I was worried about the card not running different resolutions.

I have one more question: Should I install the drivers on the CD that came with the monitor, or are they useless?

If you're monitor came with a driver disk then I would install it. At worst it won't harm it, at best it'll open up features not available through plug'n'play.
