I have the following: 6600K @ 4.7Ghz 16GB of memory GTX 970 -> Connected to 2 monitors @ 1080p60.
It used to be that playing games on a single monitor with the second monitor active would cost a couple of FPS at top quality settings.
So what I'm wondering is, given I game on 1 monitor only, and browse/netflix/whatever on the second monitor, would I be better off running the secondary monitor off of my iGPU?
I know that just running a secondary monitor uses fuck all GPU power, but I question given Firefox et all use graphical acceleration now days, whether this could be hurting performance slightly.
Enjoy your literal computer porn.

Bumping. Any thoughts?
Carter Ortiz
if you're not running a 3d application on your second monitor the difference wouldn't be noticeable
Nicholas Collins
i would use your igpu if you aren't doing more than browsing and videos
Jordan Green
Do you think that GPU accelerated browsing is likely to add to it more?
Silly question I'm sure. Just curious.
John Cooper
I do this, only because my budget gpu only has one DVI port. Works fine for me, but why not try it out for yourself? It would be easier than making a thread about it.
Connor Nelson
Fair call.
I'll go test. Thanks.

Oh shit, should probably have read those rules. Will nuke the thread.

I have two cards, a Radeon for gayming, connected to my main display and TV, cloned, and a low profile GeForce card for my second monitor only.
Even if you just have them connected to one card, the difference won't be noticeable. Not even a single frame. Maybe just some frametime.

>would I be better off running the secondary monitor off of my iGPU? No, you're just gonna make things worse activating the iGPU, try to avoid CPU's with integrated graphics if you really want to gayme.

how nice of you to admit that Cred Forums has more technical knowledge than Cred Forums. thank you t. guy from Cred Forums visiting Cred Forums for the first time

agree gnu neckbeards have no knowledge of GPUs

Fuck off back to your daycare board, virgin manchild. Get out

I'm an adult, call me a manchild if you want, I don't mind, it's been a saying for decades, that men will always have their toys.
At least I have a good job and social life and actually fuck women made from bone and flesh.
But at least I'm not an insecure faggot who has to call others "manchild" because his own insecurities.
Brody Richardson
Steve, just ignore them
Mason Russell
I'm not Steve?
Landon Murphy
Do you keep telling that to yourself, manbaby?
Landon Diaz
I don't have to tell myself anything, because I'm not a insecure faggot.
>Republic of Gaymers That's shit tho m8
Parker Collins
No people call you manchild because you are an adult and you still play video games.
Go back your chamber of virginity and 360 quickscope your opponents, optionally claim to have sex with his/her mother after dat dank mlg shot
Adrian Harris
People don't actually call me a manchild? Rarely some autists on Cred Forums do.
They are so deep in denial, that think even something as normal as sexual intercourse is a thing that everybody can't even experience.
Jose Reyes
Wrong board
Adrian Morgan
Kind of late m8

>People don't actually call me a manchild? Because people are decent and don't want to hurt your/your parents' feelings, manchild.

Your second monitor doesnt affect your performance at all while you're gaming. You have more than 2gigs of RAM, for a dual monitor set up 1 gig is pretty fine to have. I used o have a HD4850 with 512MB and done that pretty fine.
Anthony Williams
No, people are just normal and don't call others shit because of their insecurities. Cred Forums is mostly a hole for degenerate autists.
>tfw I actually want to see how far your shitty bait goes
Asher Diaz
Yes like chrome and edge using vram on your gpu, check with gpuz when browsing your vram guaranteed use.

Pair of 1080p's with a GTX970. If I run WoW on 1, anything video playback on the other will degrade FPS a significant amount. Didn't used to happen with my 650ti. Maybe I'm retarded, but I haven't been able to fix it yet.
Hunter Parker
Only after the recent reddit invasion. Cred Forums used to be full of alpha as fuck computer experts. Now it's just smartphone, gaymen and chinkshit consumercucks.

disable hardware acceleration on your player/browser
