Hi, The title kind of explains it all. Today I have a 1080p an I also have a gtx 660 non-ti. I am thinking about getting an additional 1440p monitor to use as my primary monitor and still use the 1080p as a secondary monitor. If this is possible. Can I still run games on either one or two of the monitors without any loss of framerates. I mainly play Moba games and I don't play many other games. Thanks //Max

Yes, you can and you should lose any frames since only one of the monitors is being used for gaming.

you will lose ~%50 frame rate going from a 1080p monitor to a 1440p monitor. you also wont be able to play a game across the two monitors because 1 you will have terrible performance, and 2 it will have to stretch the pixles on one to match the image.

I owned a 680 4gb and had a setup like that. At first it was OK but as the newer games came out it started to show. Used the 1080 monitor just to check template etc etc. That 660 with 2gb will be lucky to manage on low on newer games.
