For christmas i received a second monitor and now I'm wondering if i should plug both of my monitors into my graphics card or should i plug one of them into my motherboard to reduce the stress on the card? or will it even make a difference?

also, i look up these forums everytime i have an iusse with something, thanks for being helpful everyone!

Nice, this was just what I was looking for!

Basically, bottom line is, having a second monitor plugged into the same GPU as your main monitor does not have noticeable negative effects.
