Can the gtx 960 support two monitors at 1080p?

Can I be able to stream my game with this card and not take a performance impact on the game?
(Ill be playing LOL, CSGO, Fallout, etc) (One monitor for game and the other for chat and stuff)
I dont mind not playing on the super highest setting.

Of course you'll take a performance hit. You think you can push out twice as many pixels for nothing?
And hen you'll have the whole full screen/ windowed mode to deal with because not all gamse like you alt-tabing out and you'll have to run those in windowed mode.
 
Yes you can, and no you won't take a significant performance hit unless you choose to run the game across both displays. Most games don't have problems with alt-tabbing these days, but there are a few titles that might, so you may want to keep multitasking to a minimum if you are playing one of those titles.
