Gaming on 2 Monitors 750Ti

[turkey3_scratch]

the main game I will be playing is Age of Empires III. All I want to know is if I can play it on 2 768p monitors with a 750Ti, I mean does Windows allow for 2 monitor gaming? The game's from 2005.

You can try playing them in windowed mode, but that usually means you stay with the 2D clocks so the performance might be lacking.

But is it possible in full screen?

Just stretch the windows to as big as you can.

If you run in full screen you won't be able to get the games on separate monitors. When you load the first game, it will run on the primary monitor. Same with the second. You have to have them in windowed mode to drag one to the second monitor.

Could Nvidia surround work with 2 monitors? According to this http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/616188677588482251/ it does. I am unfamiliar with surround but it makes games use multiple monitors acting as one, correct?

As one yes. So if you loaded up game one, it would play on BOTH monitors. Surround/Eyefinity turns the separate monitors you have into a single monitor. You'll have all kinds of focus problems if you do this. Why are you planing on playing two at once?

 

[turkey3_scratch]

It's an RTS game so the center of the screen is actually a not very important area. I want to use 2 monitors for enjoyment and to make full use of the 750Ti since I already calculated it can get 60+FPS on both monitors with this game maxed out. So focus is not really an issue in this game, since it's not an FPS or racing game.

Surround only supports 3 monitors AFAIK. You will have to try what 4745454b said about windowed mode.

@RobCrezz: why does link I posted above say it supports 2 as of an update this year?

 

[4745454b]

Eyefinity supports two, I assume Surround does as well. I don't follow Surround so pure guess on my part. I didn't follow your link but it probably does.

I've heard of people playing RTS and RPG games in windowed mode, but not for "enjoyment and to make full use" of their card. (Full use? It's a 750TI which is the lowest card in the current gen. Crank the settings and you'll get full use.) It's usually to pass items to themselves, or farm gold while waiting between runs. I did a search while staying on the first page and this was the most helpful reply/thread I saw.

The game runs 60FPS on a 1440p monitor with a Geforce 8800 so a 750Ti is more than enough.
