In my system I am running a MSI GTX 970, and I'm running a 1080p display as my main and a 1600x900p monitor as my secondary display (Soon to be a matching 1080p display).

Now the question is, If I decide to run the 900p monitor on top of the two 1080p displays, would I notice a decrease in gaming performance?
*Note I use the secondary monitor for displaying TS3 or Skype NOT gaming, ALL gaming is done on my MAIN display*

just make sure all monitors are plugged in, on the card. Disable your on board in bios, sometimes it doesnt do it automatically. Never use on board when you have a dedicated gfx, it will bottleneck each other.

Thanks for the super fast response. That is what heard and figured, but I wanted to assure myself. And my motherboard doesn't have any Monitor ports so I only use the ones on the Gcard anyways.

Thanks again!
