I'm currently using my PCI Express card to run 2 monitors and my onboard to run another. It works fine despite people saying it won't.
I use a gadget to monitor my PCI card but would also like to monitor my onboard GPU as well.
I play a game called Eve Online and when I'm running my accts I can only get 20 fps. Before, when I was using just my PCI card, I was getting 60+.
To solve this, I set the display options to interval immediate, it was set to one before.
My computer handles it no problem at all, but I was always told this was immpossible. I was hoping someone could explain how and why this is working. Thanks!
My setup is:
i7 2600k
16 GB RAM
XFX HD6970 2GB
