After much fiddling around, I just switched A-10 back to single-monitor res at 1920x1080. The reason why I went multimonitor in the first place was the ability to put my MFCDs on monitor two and together with that excellent user-app "HawgTouch" manipulate them there without having to change my FOV in the cockpit.
FPS hits were too severe however, especially since I don't know how to disable the in-cockpit MFCD without losing the ones "exported" to my second monitor.
Now, my question is this: I can't go SLI with either my board or my PSU, but I was thinking I could put another low end GFX-card in there to drive monitor two. Is that even possible? If so: Would it reduce the load on GFX-card 1 enough to be able to fly A-10 with 2 monitors?
Right now, on a single monitor and in Fullscreen-mode I'm never getting less than 30-35 FPS, even at low level and over cities. In less stressful conditions, FPS are around 55. with dual monitors at 2325x1080 normal FPS are between 25 and 35, but under heavy load drop to below 20.
Thanks for your input!
