ey folks got a quick question. I have 2 7900gt KOs that were in an Sli setup but i went with a dual display setup for small games. I have my desktop expanded on to my second monitor. Basically what i wanted to do is play games on two screens. The problem im having is say for an application like World of Warcraft it uses my primary card to render all the graphics instead of using the card the display is connected to.

Is there any way to have my primary card render the game on its display while the other renders whatever is on its display? If my cards were to work independantly of eachother then i wouldnt have a problem but with one card rendering for both game instances it is severly affecting performance.
 
You might be able to use the nView options that came with your nvidia drivers. I noticed after I enabled it in control panel, most games now bring up a lil screen asking me which monitor to play on. I tested it out and it seemed to work just fine. I am not sure as to where the option is in the settings but I went with mostly defaults since I mostly just got enable the nView so I could have 2 different backgrounds on both monitors at different resolutions.
