I will be setting up 2 monitors on my system. I currently have one, and just placed the order for the 2nd from Newegg.
I won't be using dual monitor gaming. I do video editing, and would like my "preview" on a second monitor. I also do a lot of graphics work, CAD work, and computer programming. I might load up a game to play once a week or so and only for an hour or so. Gaming is definitely not why I'm getting an additional monitor, or I'd have to have 3.
I'd like, however, best possible response from the game when in full screen on one monitor, and still be able to have something displayed at proper resolution on the other monitor. I have an ASUS Radeon HD 7770 card, and will hook up the newer Viewsonic 1920x1080 monitor to it. I was considering hooking up my existing monitor (1680x1050 resolution) to my A10-6800K iGPU, as I was thinking this would be good enough display for the applications I run. I only picked up the HD 7770 for better casual gaming and a bit faster rendering of videos.
I know you can't do Dual Graphics with the 7770 and the A10, but they can both work side-by-side simultaneously, when running different monitors. At least that's my understanding. I know I have them both enabled right now, because my video rendering using openCL takes advantage of both and I get better rendering time when it uses both instead of just the 7770.
Okay, lot of hot air just to ask with what I'm wanting to do, would it be better to hook both monitors to the 7770? Or go ahead and put one on 7770 and the other on the iGPU?
