Hello out there,
I have just bought a new desktop which I will mainly be using for gaming. I already have one screen for it, but as I just been offered a new cheap "used" screen. Now I am wondering if I would be able to use the second screen for browsering the internet, watching youtube videoes, spotify and such if I connect it to the integrated graphic card. If this would work, would it decrease my performance when playing on the main screen.
Short: I have been offered one more screen, now wondering if it would be able to run simple stuff when using the integrated graphic card while gaming. Would it hurt performance of the game?
The second screen is not going to be used for gaming! ONLY "simple" stuff such as browser, showing the music video.

it's all in the multimonitor setup option in the Nvidia control panel. Fairly straight forward. I have AMD so it's a little different. Windows7 even has an option, right click on the desktop and select screen resolution.
