Dual Monitor Dual GPU

[calinkula]

I have an extra monitor and a nVidia 8800gt laying around, my current gaming rig has a GTX 460 in it and I'm planning on running dual monitors. Would it be better to run both monitors off the GTX 460 and use the 8800gt as a physx card or run one monitor per card?

The screens are different sizes (24 and 19 inch) so I'd be more interested maintaining max fps on the 24 than gaming on 2 screens or anything. Don't have many physx enabled games either. I'm also eying some upgrades so dropping a little extra money to get a beefier PSU wouldn't be an issue.

A double monitor won't affect your fps that much unless you play on both screens at the same time. Keep your GTX 460 the way it is and plug both monitors on it. If you see a big fps diffrence, try the 8800 with the 19" on it.
