hi,
i have an interesting question and i was wondering if someone on this forum could help me out.
basically, i have 2 monitors (with 2 different resolutions) and i am looking to set them up so that i can do something in particular with them. what i want to do is be able to play a game fullscreen and switch over to the other monitor without minimizing the game. on the other monitor (while the game is still playing or simply paused on the first one), i want to be able to run itunes/be able to view a webpage/whatever.
the problem is that it's impossible, or so i've heard, to do with a single video card, even if it supports 2 monitors. the game HAS to minimize to switch to another monitor.
so, basically my question is, if i was to install another video card (some cheap PCI card) for the other monitor, would i be able to do what i mentioned above. in other words, i would have 2 different video card, with 1 being for each monitor. any help would be greatly appreciated.
my system specs are:
gtx 260 core 216
core 2 duo e8400
750i sli ftw
thanks
