I have:
- 34" Ultrawide for Gaming
- 49"KS8500 for work (fantastic)

I wan to place them side by side and game on the 34" and work on the 49"

How is that achieved? Any windows 10 settings? If i duplicate the screen on both displays, won't the video card tank during gameplay?

Thanks.

Just extend the monitors, make the gaming monitor the main display and the 49" the extended display. Then you move all your work stuff to your extended display. That should work fine for your use case.
 
what if i duplicate the screen and just have one display on at a time? based on what i'm currently doing?
 
That's just silly. As the previous poster said; make the gaming monitor the main display and the 49" the extended display. Then you move all your work stuff to your extended display.

Both displays can be on at the same time.
 
Well he may want to only turn on the gaming monitor when he's gaming?

StormClaw Duplicating should work, I don't think there will be any major performance issues if you do that (you'll find out soon enough).
If not you can use multimonitortool to make each monitor primary and save the config, then just load the settings from a batch file when you want to switch

You can still use extended desktop, and just turn off the main display. Once you've moved all the windows to the extended desktop (work monitor), even if you close, windows will still remember the window positions so you should be fine.
 
Plug them both in and used winkey+P to bring up the "project" toolbar, you can quickly switch between all available screen modes there (PC only, second screen only, extended or duplicate)
