Graphics card for mixed monitor resolution

Hello all,

Yet another question - I am looking at upgrading my graphics card - currently I have an AMD 6070 based card running the centre monitor (max resolution of 1920 x 1200) and two outer monitors, one either side (max resolution of 1920 x 1080). My max resolution is 5760 x 1080 and the AMD is happy to put black bars at the top and bottom to give me a nice continuous image.

If I were to switch to an NVidia based card, would this still be possible or should I stick with AMD and get something like an R9 Fury (I need to check it fits the case)?
 
Why would you want black bars? A Geforce depending on power should be be able to output to all monitors at their native resolutions(although it will run hotter).

I can live with the 60 pixel bar top and bottom when gaming. As a confirmed petrol head I mainly play rFactor 2.

Without the bars, the image on the centre screen is stretched - which I dislike more than the bars.
