Hello there, I want to know how much vram I need for 2 monitors: first one, 1080p monitor for

gaming. And second one, 1080p monitor for browsing, editing, etc... it will be using the VGA

since the HDMI of it is occupied by something else (I will be switching for my needs).

Would a GTX960 2gb run this easily?

Thanks

I will be running a monitor 1080p gaming though, will it still run smoothly and atleast get 60 fps on very high settings (Arma 3, Insurgency, Payday 2) ?

Yes but depending on your processor and RAM, for example if you have Google Chrome or Sony Vegas open on your second monitor the performance will be hindered because those are heavy applications.

For graphics your game will run just as good as it would with one monitor. No difference in performance.

Here are the specs:
4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4790 Processor (Quad Core, 8MB Cache, up to 4.0GHz w/ Turbo Boost)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 960 with 2GB GDDR5
16GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600Mhz
2TB SATA 6Gb/s (7,200RPM) 64MB Cache

I won't really have any software open on the second monitor exept like Chrome or Egde. Thanks for all your help btw, so will it run very high?
