Dual monitors on 8800GTX

[INTELCRAZY]

I want to go with dual monitors, they need to cost under $550 for two. I am preferring 22" duals. Does anyone know of a good name brand for that cost? Secondly, will my GTX run these at good FPS and will it help me in gaming?



Thanks

I will probably get those, I just need to find out how to fit the on my desk, I need a bigger desk.... Will the 8800GTX Function at a good rate with the duals?


Thanks

Don't expect to play two instances of crysis at the same time, but anything else will function properly.

I use this monitor, and they are not bad monitors at all. Coming from a Viewsonic VX2025WM, it's not a downgrade by a long shot. Has an excellent response time too (2ms!)

No, not two instances of Crysis, just like GRAW2 or WiC, I can play on the left monitor and have the map on the right.

Playing on monitor one with background on monitor 2 will not reduce performance. All that happens is the background will use a TINY amount of video memory.

If the map is being viewed via internet browser, no impact on performance. Very few games are able to take advantage of multiple monitors.

Look it up for World in Conflict.... You can see the tactical map on one monitor and move your units/play the game in the other one. I just want to know if this will screw up my performance.

Thanks

I was playing the WiC beta at close to the highest settings on my machine, so the GTX will have no problem rendering both screens at the same time.

It won't screw up performance. The card simply has to show a picture on 2nd monitor. It doesn't have to do any rendering on it.

I found a desk that will work with duals the way I want, now those Acer 22"(above) from Tigerdirect, can I cash in 2 rebates or will they only let me cash 1?

Will I be able to apply for both rebates?
