Godzila Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 I run single monitor + additional 800x600 for MFCDs. Graphic card is capable of running more monitors. Is there any benefit in performance if I enabled onboard graphics for smaller monitor? Or should I use main graphic card for both?
Kuky Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 no benefit at all to use secondary card (or on board graphics, which is probably even worse) Stick to single more powerful GPU.

I'm not sure that's true. If he's pushing the limits of the GPU VRAM, it could be beneficial to use the onboard (which will use the system RAM or maybe have it's own Sideport RAM) to run a secondary monitor for Helios or whatever. I don't imagine it's possible to export the MFCDs, etc to a monitor that's not connected to the main graphics card though but I don't actually know.
