HELLO there everyone, im new to this forum and it has answered some of my questions but i have never found an answer to this one, i have a amd a8-550 APU and i have 2 monitors, i was wondering if i could buy another card (an amd one) just for multitasking, i use the main monitor for gaming but i want the other one for multitasking, is theere a way to make them work together, basically can i get my amd apu to work with a separete amd graphics card, one for a monitor and one for the other?
 


yeah but it puts stress on my apu. i just want the second graphics card for multitasking, i wanna be able to game in one monitor and surf the web in another, isthat possible with 2 graphics cards is what im asking
 
If you don't want to use Dual Graphics to accomplish that, you can use a discrete card for one of the monitors. I did that with a AMD card for gaming and an Nvidia card for monitor #2. I suppose you could do it with 2 AMD GPUs and one driver as well, although I've never tried it.
