Dual Monitor question

Whats' up forum

I'm looking to purchase a second monitor for a dual monitor setup. How much of a hit will I take on FPS and multi tasking ability with this setup? Second monitor will be the same as my current one. Acer K242HL

AMD Athlon X4 860K @ 4.2GHz
Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-UP4
G.Skill Trident X Series 8GB 2400MHz
MSI GTX 960 4GB
Antec High Current Gamer 620W 80+ Bronze

How much of a hit will I take on FPS and multi tasking ability with this setup? 50%

Seriously? That much? I'm not playing games on the second monitor at the same time, just using the second display for web browsing (Game guides, maps, etc)

Then the percentage loss drops depending on what you're doing on the non-gaming monitor.

I did a bit more research and this answer is pretty much it.
