I currently use two 24" 1080p lcds for my workstation and will be hooking up a 32" 1080p lcd for gaming. Apparently windows 8 has many new features for multi monitor set-ups, including "launching or moving an app to a specific monitor" which would be perfect for steam. If 2gb is enough for 1080p gaming, what about if I am running other apps on the two other screens while the game is running in full screen mode, would that take up more vram? I am looking for a video card for my new rig and not sure whether 2gb will be enough.

Here is the link where I got my quote if you want to see more of the multi monitor features.
