If you are talking about adding a second monitor just for more desktop space, you shouldnt see any noticeable drop in FPS unless you are running something on the 2nd screen that uses the GPU. I run 4x 1080p screens from my 7950. I can easily game on one screen while still playing 1080p video on others or having standard applications open.
