I just ordered my new GTX 970!!! (EVGA SSC)


 


I am going to overclock and have a temporary monitor, it is a 1280 x 1024 HP thingy (VGA).


 


in around 2 months i am adding a second 1920 x 1080 IPS monitor, this will mean more pixels.


 


If i overclock now will i have to drop the overclock when i get a second monitor??


 


I don't think so but i don't want to fry my card by adding a second monitor

no it wont fry your card

the only possible thing that can happen is artifacts or a crash, but nothing that will damage the GPU

 

if you stress tested your overclock then you should be fine
