I am setting up a dual monitor setup for gaming (I know the monitor will split down the center and it sucks but its not my idea).

I have set up SoftTH and it runs as should with 2 monitors on 1 GPU when running certain games but the FPS do suffer a little than running a single monitor for gaming and the other for desktop stuff.

I am wanting to know if i add a second gpu non sli and run the second monitor off that will some of the load be taken off the primary gpu when dual screen gaming and using SoftTH. I have an old 7900 gtx i can use as a secondary gpu.

Specs of the PC i am working on are

Mobo: Asus (not sure of spec but it does have 4 PCI-e slots)

8GB of ram DDR3

GTX 550Ti

600w PSU

I am wanting to add a 7900 gtx if its worth it.
