Will my 7750 run dual monitors with only 1 for gaming? (1080p monitors)

[SempiternalCats]

So my GPU is a Sapphire HD 7750 1Gb DDR5, and I've been reading around but cant seem to get an answer to my question, also I'm rather new to the whole asking a question of a forum thing. Anywho I intend to get a second monitor (which will be 1080p like my current one) to use, but I'm a little curious, as I intend to game only on one monitor, whilst the other has the likes of Youtube/Facebook and so on open and displayed at 1080p, would I see a massive drop with my in-game performance or would the 1Gb of ram be fine? Also my first monitor is a little old and is a VGA/HDMI monitor currently I use the HDMI port to connect my monitor to my GPU, if I was to buy a DVI monitor this would work right? Seeing as I believe HDMI and DVI both use the same signal? Thanks for taking the time to read this, it's probably a stupid question, unfortunately I'm a little broke and cant really afford to get a new GPU with 2Gb of ram. But please note I am only gaming on ONE screen, and intend to use the second for browser based purposes not fullscreen eyefinity gaming. Again thanks for your time any answer will be appreciated and have a great day all ^^'

You can use 2 monitors and only use 1 one of them for gaming. The most important aspect is that you have enough system ram to support the game and the tabs. How much ram do you have?

4Gb DDR3 1066Mhz, I could make it 8gb infact I've considered upgrading to that, but for now would that be enough?

if i were you i would get the 8gb ram since gaming and multitasking use a lot of ram. And also because its very cheap.

Sounds great, so with 8gb of ram I shouldn't lose any fames in gaming and also not be ramming out my system during? If so this is great news

You wouldn't lose frames but it will stop your pc stuttering because of lack of ram
