2 graphics cards for 2 monitors. How ?

[LunaticHamster]

How can I setup two graphics cards for two monitors on one pc ? I know I can use one graphics card for two monitors but I want to use two graphics card for each monitor because when I am playing a game on the first monitor and watching streaming on the second monitor my fps on the game drops a lot !


Sorry for my english.


windows 7 64-bit
cpu : AMD FX 8350 8 cores 4.0GHz
RAM : 12 GB
GPU : AMD Radeon HD 7790
Μ/Β : GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3

Do you have 2 GPU's now?

Adding a 2nd GPU may or may not help your FPS. This FPS drop could be CPU related also.

If you have crossfire already you dont need to hook 1 monitor to each card. Keep it setup where you have both monitors on the first GPU.

Check your usage details and see if your GPU or CPU is getting taxed when watching videos and playing games.

I currently play CSGO and watch streaming Twitch on my 2nd monitor. I dont have any FPS problems in game. I run dual 6950's (2gb each)

No I dont have 2 GPU'S now, I am going to install the second GPU if its going to help with my problem (or just try it)
My second GPU is an old one so I cant crossfire them, thats why I was wondering how can I use my second graphics card for the second monitor.
