Tom's Hardware Reviews Multi-Display Gaming

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the getting-just-a-little-crazy dept.

MikShapi writes "Most gamers out there today own a dual-head graphics card (most of us completely neglecting the second port), and games such as X2 are offering support for this already (at least on nVidia cards, due to the "span" driver feature). Tom's Hardware did a nice rundown on the technology, complete with screenshots and benchmarks."

    I never understand why twin display never caught on.

    Simple, it's a lot easier to hide the fact that you bought a kick-ass graphics card from your wife, than it is an extra monitor sitting on your desk.

    but I can't see myself forking over several hundred dollars for the purpose of playing a game.

    Then you're definitely no gamer.
