Hi, i just bought a Palit GTX 1070 Super Jetstream and i am currently using a 1080p monitor. I'm planning to upgrade to 1440p but i plan to keep the 1080p monitor as a secondary monitor for other things like web browsing, watching videos and monitoring hardware while the 1440p monitor will be for gaming. Will the 1070 handle this setup well or will the 1080p monitor take up too much gpu resources while gaming?(if it does please tell me how much) Just fyi, my heaven benchmark score at 1440p no AA is 2050 (81.4FPS) if that helps.

Yes you can run both. I run one monitor off my 1060, and another off my IGPU on my i5.


I have a i5 6600k at 4.1GHz. So do you mean i can use the IGFX and the 1070 at the same time in extended desktop mode?
