How much strain does dual monitors put on a single GPU? i currently have a gtx 770 and i want to run dual monitors i just want to run 1 for gaming and the other for social media/watching videos at the same. How much strain/toll does it take on my graphic card? would i still be able to run my games on max settings since im still using the one monitor for gaming and the other for basic programs?
 
Solution
If you're just running the second monitor for social media, you won't notice a performance impact at all. As long as you aren't running anything GPU demanding on the second screen, there is no discernible difference in performance. Plug it up and enjoy!
