Hello Tom's Hardware community 
I have a few questions about using dual monitors
The main one i'll be gaming on is a BenQ XL2411Z 1920X1080 144HZ Monitor: http://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-XL2411Z-24-inch-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B00HZF2JWA
The 2nd one is a ASUS VQ248QE: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-VG248QE-24-inch-LED-Monitor/dp/B00B19T7QC/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1454718921&sr=1-1&keywords=asus+vg248qe
This will just be used for watching youtube, twitch streams while I casually game.
Questions:
1: I want them both to have 144HZ Enabled so does dvi-d and dvi-i both support 144HZ?
2: If i'm just watching youtube and have random tabs open on the 2nd monitor how much of a performance hit will I take will it be noticeable?
Thanks!
This is the setup i'll be using:
