OverDhill Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 With the lack of ability to extract items to a networked PC I am looking at hooking up my 24" touchscreen to my main PC. As I see it I can do this two different ways. First is to use my existing video card for a dual monitor setup (I have a EVA GTX660 Superclocked). The second is using a USB to DVI external video card. The question I have is anyone using a USB adapter with success? If so what model? Would the USB monitor being used for Helios and extracted MFD's be less of a FPS hog then just using the GTX660 SC alone to drive two monitors?
Rivvern Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I tried an usb-adapter. Deltaco i believe. It wasn't able to render any advanced games. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] We are looking for Swedish members! http://www.masterarms.se

mladen Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 In my set-up I am using two-monitors. Initially I connected each monitor to two video cards but that gave me micro-stutters. Once I connected both monitors to one GPU (GTX680) stutters were gone. I do use Helios.
