I have 2 displays:
-Monitor
-TV

I usually unplug the display for my TV when I am gaming or running any graphics card intensive applications/games.

My question is, I see an option in NVIDIA Control Panel>Display>Set up multiple displays, where I can select which displays I want to use. If I choose to disable my TV under the control panel, will it be the same as unplugging the HDMI cable for my TV? My concern is if the TV eating up resources from my graphics card when I am gaming.

My problem is that if I don't switch my PC on with the HDMI(TV) plugged in, I can't plug in my HDMI cable without restarting the PC otherwise there will not be a display on my TV.

Thank you
