Hi everyone,
With the help of this community I decided to upgrade my GPU from GTX760 OC to GTX980ti hybrid, and at the same time I decided to buy a 144hz monitor to take advantage of the added horsepower.
I wanted to use the new monitor for games and have the old one to the side for mostly text and webpages while in-game. But when I connected both displays to the 980, Nvidia control panel only lets me run the new monitor at 60hz and it can only go up to 144hz if I disconnect the old monitor. (clarification: i'm not using Nvidia surround, Just normal extended display mode)
So now my question is, should I add in the 760 in the second PCIe slot and connect the old monitor to that one (or even the on-board motherboard graphics)? Would that let me use the new monitor at 144hz and the old one at 60hz?
I don't expect this to improve performance at all since they can't be SLI bridged, I just want to use the second monitor for non-gaming stuff.
If it's possible, how should I set it up in the Nvidia settings?
Here are the specs and info:
