I'm running a Radeon HD 4890 1GB model, and I wanted to start running two monitors (for streaming). I currently can run everything at highest graphics with above 60 FPS, and wanted to know if a small second monitor would stress the card enough to lower that.

Looking at something like that.

It'll lower some, but at that res (and LoL isn't that intensive), it shouldn't lower by much.

IMO, anything over 35 is playable, besides that ehh... got my parts put together today and from amd 9550 to i5 2500k I went from 17fps to 65fps all stock with 5970 Ati, its more cpu intensive in my opinion

Click to expand...

Maybe...but that jump was because that 9550 was SERIOUSLY bottlenecking your 5970...
