I currently am running a setup of 1920 x 1080 on two monitors. I'm running a singular 8800 gts video card and am looking to upgrade. Where the 8800 used to be sufficient when my resolution was significantly lower it is now becomming a tad bit choppy when i try to run multiple 3d games at a time.
If i get two cards can i dedicate 1 to each monitor? Also would i be better off with 1 awesome card or two mediocre cards? Specifically: 2x9800Gt or 1x285gtx (Ati isn't an option since I've not been very happy with their linux driver support)
Thanks in advance
Edit: Everything will be run in windowed mode. Edit, For clarifiaction: Although i understand one rocking card works, and my card is inadequate... Is one card Better than two lesser cards? Can i allocate one card to each monitor?
22 things: 1) MULTIPLE 3D games at one time? Impressive, I guess, but how exactly does that work? 2) Tagged windows, but linux driver support is an issue? Might want to add a linux tag... – Travis Northcutt – 2009-09-04T13:19:51.013
I run linux for work on occassion when i need to vpn in. It's doesn't so much affect the solution, as it does limit my card choices. One game on each monitor. – Highstead – 2009-09-04T13:25:33.220
1Why would you want to run multiple 3D games at once? Surly one can keep your attention. – David Basarab – 2009-09-04T14:39:17.010
MMOs. Lots of people have multiple copies of an MMO running (generally needing more than one account). One being the 'main' character doing something active and attention grabbing, the second one doing something time consuming that doesn't need nearly as much attention. – GAThrawn – 2009-09-12T23:46:58.037
