Dual monitor setup on one GPU?

I was wondering if it's actually worth running a dual-monitor setup on a single graphics card. I'm currently rocking an
Nvidia GTX 960 4GB OC, and I wanted to know if I should expect any issues—like, will things start crashing or slow down significantly if I hook up a second screen?

Well, it’s certainly a game-changer. I’ll finally be able to stream two adult films at once, and honestly, my neighbors are going to be absolutely green with envy when they find out.

hahaha, no, that’s not what I meant. What I’m actually asking is whether my GPU is going to take a massive hit if I decide to run a dual-monitor setup.

There isn't any dramatic load on the system, unless of course you're trying to push things through a 1440p or 4K Screen Resolution.

It won't blow up on you, don't sweat it.

And what happens if I just run one monitor and one plasma TV instead?

Everything's gonna be fine

Those big flat-screens aren't exactly fans of static images, are they? Especially the older models, which tend to suffer much more from burn-in and nasty image retention issues.

I don't want to clutter things up by starting a whole new thread, so I was wondering if someone might be able to help me out here. I just hooked my TV up to my PC using an HDMI cable, but I'm a bit stuck. Is there actually a way to have the exact same thing appearing on my TV as what's showing on my computer screen at the same time? I haven't been able to find that specific setting anywhere. Right now, it either switches over to the TV and my monitor just goes black, or it treats them like two separate screens side-by-side, kind of like a dual monitor setup. Any ideas? Maybe I'm just missing something obvious!

If you right-click on your desktop and head straight into the Screen Resolution settings, you’ll find the option for multiple Displays tucked away in a handy drop-down menu. It gives you a few different ways to play it—whether you want to duplicate your current view, extend your workspace, or just disable a secondary screen entirely. From there, all you really have to do is click on that little blue square labeled with a number to represent your specific monitor or TV, and then you can tweak the settings for that particular screen exactly how you see fit. Simple enough, isn't it?

Thanks so much! I have no idea how I managed to miss that. 🙂
