Quick 2 Monitor 2 Graphics Card Question

[Grantskys13]

Hey All. I am having trouble on whether or not to get another monitor and graphics card and using SLI to connect them. I have a GTX 760 Superclock and was thinking about getting another. I have a sufficient PSU and my MOBO supports SLI. Plus I have a open PCI Slot . I have a AMD FX-8350 and get great frames while gaming.

The question... Will getting a 2nd graphics card and 2nd monitor drop, gain, or provide me equal frames. Thanks guys. Any questions just ask! BTW... Please no hate because i'm on a budget and don't have anymore money at the moment. Waiting till Christmas haha! Thanks again

Update - I will probably use the 2nd monitor for a different game or looking up things on the internet... still very important

if you used two monitors it would split all of the games right down the middle, making gaming kinda difficult. I think you would need either a higher resolution single screen or 3 monitors.

Hmm... Maybe since my monitor is really good I might just have one for gaming and the other one for looking up things on the internet while gaming... will that work?

that is how my setup is.

CF 7950's pushing a 1440p monitor

and

motherboard pushing two 1080p monitors. your GPU can do this also

Yeah my GPU is pushing a nice 1080p and so I think a 2nd GPU in SLI will run a 2nd 1080p monitor well. Am I right?

If you are going SLI then both of your monitors would hook up to the first GPU and the SLI bridge will do the communicating between the GPU's.

Oh Yeah... I'm Dumb... Sorry I'm no pro at this just trying to upgrade my PC. So with SLI, two GTX 760's Superclocked, I can easily run two 1080p monitors at once and use one for gaming and the other one for light gaming / internet?

Thanks for your time bro
