Vista or XP?

if its XP, it sounds like you have the monitors not configured in horizontal span (as they are different sizes). this will trash the framerates on you machine. both screens have to be the same size on XP for this to work properly.

If you have Vista then you can use Dual View, which will allow you to use 2 different sizes of screen. this is the reason many people have moved over to Vista form XP for Multiboxing (also using vista will allow you to use 8GB+ of ram which helps)
It's Vista. How do you set up dual view? In my Nvidia settings manager I dont see any other options. The older drivers used to let you configure that but they dumbed them down so much with these new ones.
Go to the same place you change resolution....Display Settings. If you have 2 monitors plugged in and they are working properly you should have a little pictures of screen 1 and screen 2. Determine which is which by clicking the Identify Monitors button. Then you literally click on that monitors picture and you can set the resolution individually for each one.

ISSUE RESOLVED - See OP


[s]Yeah, this is basically how its set up at the moment - I can change the resolution on both monitors separately. I guess it defaults to this way, because I dont see any other way to change the way the monitors are handled. The only thing that can differ is if I plug both monitors into one GPU and leave the second blank. I have one physical card, but the card contains two GPUs. It sort of looks like this, two rows.

(HDMI Port) (DVI Port) GPU 1
(DVI Port) GPU 2

I can keep my card in SLI and have dual monitors, or take it out of SLI and plug the monitors into seperate GPUs.[/s]
