Dual monitor gaming on 570 question

[MistaFreeze]

So I am trying to figure out how to play games with both monitors and not show the same thing on each monitor. Like I know how to duplicate the screens and extend the screen but when I play games nothing shows on the second monitor! I wanted to be able to look dead center at the 2 monitors and play! This is super noob I'm sure but yeah...

PS: I have two monitors that are 1920x1080

I used it back in the WinXP days for triple monitors across two cards.
It should manage 2 monitors from 1 card for at least some games, but it's not guaranteed success. If you want to be 100% sure, you'll have to pay stupid money for something like Matrox DualHead2Go and hook your monitors up through that AFAIK.

Yah 2 monitors is not very good for games. Simply being that games have to support it. Like Lonyo said, you have to get a specific setup for it.

I'm going to bump this thread. I now have a 460SE because I sold off my rig but I am still wondering sine I have 2 monitors I want to have my video games in one window and my desktop in another. I can do those for the most part but whenever I click to the other window it my game minimizes. HELP!

BUMP!

BUMP. Now I just want to be able to dual monitor and have one screen for my games and another for the desktop. Still minimizing my games when I click on the other screen though!

I think it depends on the game.

Some games have a solution, where they allow an option called something like:
"Resolution = full-screen windowed mode"
that should let you play full screen and not have the game minimize when you click on the 2nd monitor.
