Which graphics card is better for 3 monitors of different resolutions?

Looking at the Nvidia GTX 750Ti and the AMD Radeon R7 370, both 4GB memory.

I'd like to be able to run three monitors, 2x 1920x1080 and 1 1366x768 in the middle, in portrait orientation, and I want to be able to play games including TF2, CS:GO, and Watch Dogs over 3 monitors. Low graphics settings are ok as long as it gets a decent framerate (30-60). I would like the setup to ideally look like the fifth configuration in this image but any configuration is okay.

System specs - i7 3770, 8GB RAM, 460W PSU, Windows 7

Current card is an Nvidia GT 620.

Which graphics card and/or driver software (Eyefinity vs Surround) will be better in accomplishing this goal?

Please help me out and if you have questions, ask me and I'll answer.
 
Those cards seem like underkill for 3 screen gaming. Personally I'd look at the GTX 970 at a minimum. Or the R9 380 if you are set on AMD. I'd rather go bigger and have some headroom than max out the card and be unsatisfied by the results.
 
If you don't want to spend over, you can look at used 290s, i got one for $200CAD that is about $160 USD.
 
I believe mixed-rez and LPL might require Tonga...

Hopefully someone can correct me, or confirm that.

Yes, I want to run LPL - does that require Tonga?

If someone can tell me what good cards are that have Tonga that would be great, currently looking at the R9 380's. Could someone tell me if that has Tonga and if not what cards do. Thanks.
 
380x, 385x, and the Fury series are all Tonga. Get something 4GB if it fits your budget.
 
Can anyone confirm that mixed resolution (2x 1920x1080 and 1x 1366x768 portrait in the middle) LPL setup will require Tonga?

Thanks

Yes it does require tonga.

I bought a cheap R9 285 since the card supports my PLP setup without Display Ports.

I am using it on a Dell x (2007FP+3007WFP+2007FP) setup.

I've decided not to spend more on GPUs until next gen NVidia and AMD. Hoping mid 2016.

Yes Tonga or Fiji is required for mixed PLP or LPL or any mixed rotation monitor - more appropriately perhaps - GCN 1.2 is required.

Nvidia can't do it. Well both AMD and Nvidia can do it in software up through DirectX9 with SoftTH - but if you want hardware acceleration support for any current game you have to have an AMD Tonga or Fiji chip.

For mixed rotation your choices are
AMD 285
AMD 380
AMD 380x
AMD Fury
AMD Fury X
AMD Fury Nano

Nothing else at current
