I currently have an nVidia 8800GT. One DVI goes to my 24" 1920x1200 monitor and the other feeds to my 46" 1920x1080 HDTV. I was able to set it up such that when I turn on the HDTV and select the 8800GT output the display automatically flips from the monitor the the HDTV (and changes res accordingly). I do this when I want to watch HD movies.
I'm researching a video card upgrade and have been reading about Eyefinity. Does this mean I could have the video card output pumping simultaneously to both displays at different resolutions?
Is there any downside to this (i.e. does it negatively impact performance)? My HDTV will be off most of the time when I'm gaming so I wouldn't think there would be any performance hit in that scenario.
Lastly, does nVidia have a similar feature in its new cards?
Thanks
