Hi everyone,
I have been trying to get some numbers on this, but can't find a whole lot. What kind of performance hit does adding a monitor to a gpu have? Let's say you are gaming on one monitor at 1920x1080 and you add a second monitor. How does that impact performance by the numbers (fps, percentages). Not to game on the other monitor or do any special crossfire setup, but just there working. Showing you a desktop. Any thoughts?
To give some cards to work with, a 7850 can power through BF3 1920x1080 maxed at ~30FPS (acceptable in my books). If I add in a second monitor (still playing on only one) what kind of fps drop would you be looking at? A 7950 can do the same game at ~40FPS on max everything. Is that enough to offset more monitors? Is it just a matter of VRAM?
Thanks!
