Hi everyone :)


Say I have a discrete graphics card and an APU in my system.

I connect one monitor to my GPU and another monitor to my MoBo. I allow both to run by enabling it in the BIOS.

If I play a game (maybe even just watching a video or word processing), which graphics will be the one bearing the load?
Would the game be limited by the weaker graphics (like SLI/Xfire downclocking)?
Or does it depend on which screen the game is on? (I don't know how any of this stuff works)

You can have one screen on each card just don't expect to plays the game on both screens you can easily have the game on your GPU and a movie or whatever else on the apu through
