Will Cloning Screen On 2 Outputs Lower Performance?

SubDude199 · 01-27-2007, 07:52 PM

This is the first video card I have had that lets me clone to 2 or more outputs at once without setting a primary screen. I have a 22" monitor, 32"TV, and 110" HD Projector Hooked up to this computer. Logit tells me that demanding a game to display on 2 or more outputs would lower the overall performace. I didnt do extensive testing but it does not seem like it is?..

So, Does cloning to 2 or more outputs lower overall performance?

I doubt cloning would lower performance. Streching your desktop across a few monitors supposedly lowers performance, but I have yet to notice.
