Hey guys,
I'm in the market for a 560Ti on a system I'm building. It's gonna be running 3 displays - 2 normal monitors and a 42" HDTV. The monitors connect through DVI and the HDTV through HDMI.
So can you have an extended desktop with all 3 displays?
Also, is the 560Ti fast enough to handle a scenario where you would do the following 3 things?
1) play an HD movie through XBMC on the TV.
2) play a game on the primary monitor
3) have a browser open on the secondary monitor. or play your music program on the secondary monitor.
I know it's asking a lot, but I just wanna get some input and see if anyone's tried something similar.
Here are the system specs:
i5 2500k
8GB RAM
560 Ti (Twin Frozr II version)
WD Caviar Black 1TB
edit: I just learned that some of the Z68 motherboards will have HDMI and DVI outputs. So does this mean you can run the HDTV off the motherbaord and the 2 monitors off the single 560? Or how about just running the secondary monitor off the motherboard since it won't be doing anything intensive.
