Does Dual-Monitors affect PC performance?

[akumati]

I've been told it takes up a little bit more GPU power, and eats up abit of ram(?), but besides that, does running a Dual-Monitor setup with 2 DVI-D monitors (One needing an adapter) affect my PC's performance?

If both monitors are connected to your descrete GPU, yeah you'll have a little bit of FPS drop. But if you have an IGPU, you can easily put one of your two monitors on that and save your frame rates from droping.

That shouldn't change fps with gpu acceleration not switching gpu.

Almost Absolutely No unless you want to fullscreen your game to all the monitors. Using more monitors for multi-tasking like browsing web etc only use more vram of your gpu and.. That's abt it. It won't strain your gpu a lot.
