speed-of-heat Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 In my current PC set up I have two monitors. the secondary I just use for browsing and reference documents occasional use etc... I used to use it in game but prefer not to now. From a perf point of view DCS pegs me at almost 100% CPU and GPU utilisation MB Memory and gfx card memory runs at about 50% utilisation in nearly all scenarios. From a performance point of view is there any benefit in placing the 2nd monitor on the internal MB/CPU gfx adaptor ?

JG14_Smil Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Your data makes my eyes glaze over. I just don't pay attention to that. Second monitor is no performance hit at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKOver Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Is it really true? Let's suppose a i9-9000k and a RTX 2080 Ti feeding an UHD monitor. There won't be an impact for the performance if I will add another graphics card for feeding a HD monitor? I think that this will use more CPU power which is needed for both graphics card.

speed-of-heat Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 i'm sure there is some impact, its just not very much (e.g. I couldn't tell) … now I suspect if I watch a video on it that's a whole different story... but, just being there with a static webpage no impact SYSTEM SPECS: Hardware Intel Corei7-12700KF @ 5.1/5.3p & 3.8e GHz, 64Gb RAM, 4090 FE, Dell S2716DG, Virpil T50CM3 Throttle, WinWIng Orion 2 & F-16EX + MFG Crosswinds V2, Varjo Aero SOFTWARE: Microsoft Windows 11, VoiceAttack & VAICOM PRO YOUTUBE CHANNEL: @speed-of-heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
