G-Sync and Freesync monitor/GPU question

What I do notice, however, is refresh rate.
So, the question: Will either an Nvidia or AMD card allow me to use a G-Sync/Freesync monitor in the centre while outputting to 60Hz monitors at the same time or will the card only give me a choice of either fixed or variable refresh rates?

It depends on the monitor, if your monitor can support G-Sync/Freesync then you can enable that on the monitor settings. The rest of the monitor it will set to default.
