FSX-MS Dual monitor performance.

[sotiris 1]

Hi,

A few days ago I added a second monitor (a Sony TV set).

What I 'd like to know is whether the addition of a second monitor has any effect on system's hardware performance and FSX.

Thanks for your time.

If you are mirroring the first screen, no or virtually none.

If you are extending the screen space, yes. How much will depend on how you use it and your system.

Thanks for info.

But what's the point to have a mirrored display ?

While extending is really useful.

Mirrored display is useful for electronics store when you want multiple display showing the same video loop from a computer so people can compare the models they want.  I can think of a few other similar applications.  For simming, nah, not useful.  I personally have three displays but only fly on one and I use the other two for third-party add-on windows, maps, and multitasking.
