Ok a couple questions about gaming with multiple monitors, and to see if anyone else has looked into any of this.
What I am doing is gaming on one monitor and the 2nd is up with applications running (ie Yahoo, XFire, IE, etc.) Now of course everyone knows when you switch programs the game gets minimized even if you bringing up the app on the 2nd window. Has anyone seen any programs or settings that can stop this from happening? I am sure there isn't anything but never hurts to ask.
Secondly, which is better, to have a 2nd (PCI) video card active as the desktop monitor while gaming, or having the 2nd output of my PCI Express video card have the desktop up? Any Benchmarks on these different settings?
Anyone have any ideas on this?
