QUOTE(cenation1314 @ Jul 18 2013, 11:10 PM) well if u're playing games u wun get that 100% efficiency from your gc that's for sure...probably better to just switch back to single display...besides, once u switch automatically the other monitor goes on sleeping mode so u dun even need to press the off switch please correct me if I am wrong well from wat i hav been reading,i concluded that even if i shut down 1 monitor while using the other,it still takes up gc resources because u can still drag things over to the other (shut downed) monitor... therefore its better to right click and switch back to display on only 1 monitor and then shut down the other for maximum efficiency...

looks fun with dual display! going to setup new CPU, isit possible to display with primary 1 20" LCD monitor and 1 40" TV? coz I really needs more space to display reading text on the side while working space on primary screen. I guess it should not have any problem as long as my GC support 2 output right? anyone able to confirm me or anyone had tested? I know the outputare not rerecommended for size difrences but since I oredi have this lcd n TV in my bedroom.

Yes, it is possible, but you need a multiple monitor software to do that. I have tested a lot of them, and the one I found best for now is Actual Multiple Monitors. Works great. I have used it for over a year now with my triple monitor setup. This post has been edited by chron3z: Sep 21 2013, 07:05 AM
