1 VCard Powering 2 Monitors @ Low Fan Speeds?

3 years ago I had a GTX275 running two 27” monitors and noticed the video card fan was always running at max all the time. A salesperson told me to buy a 2nd GTX275, one to power each monitor separately. I did that and both cards ran at low fan speeds, success.

Today I’m building a new system, I plan on buying a GTX 770 4GB. Does the above power distribution issue still occur with this generation’s video card technology? Will I need a 2nd card to run my 2nd monitor at low fan speeds?

Thanks in Advance.

No - Not sure what was up with that 275.

One 770 will be fine for two monitors.

The 275 worked great with 2 monitors. The fan speed would hit max as soon as I started photoshop and watched a movie in fullscreen on the 2nd monitor.

It will be fine. You won't experience any weird fan speeds just running dual monitors.
Nvidia/some ATI cards had some odd multi-monitor issues like that around the 2XX-era but they're fine now.

I'm running three large monitors off my 770 Classified and I've never had an issue with performance or fan speed. I've also run four monitors, and that works, as well.

It sounds like that salesman wanted to make a sale.
