I run three monitors. two of them off my dual vga geforce4 ti4200, and one off an old s3 virge I had lying around. i was just wondering what kind of gaming performance hit a computer takes when it runs multiple monitors.

well i dont know much about this but when i done it the performace on my games was the same. its best to run a benchmark test to know for deffinate. but all my games seem to run fine, but make sure your primary card is your better one.

There is no performance hit as long as the two other monitors have only stationary images on them while the third one is playing a game. I takes no resource to hold an image steady, only to change the image.

This is a bit different question but you all seem to know what you are talking about. I have a compaq presario Pent 4 running winXP and I am trying to put a second video card(S3 Virge) into the machine for dual monitors. But for some reason the driver does not work. And from other forums i see that i am not alone with this issue. I cannot find a driver for the s3 virge to run on XP. Any advice at all please email me kolb0057@umn.edu thanks~ just to be clear...the compaq card and monitor are working, I am just having difficulties with the second card(s3 Virge).
