how high is the performance hit comparing these to cases:

1 monitor connected to iGPU and one to GPU playing a full screen /full screen window game

2 monitors hooked up to my GPU

 

GPU is MSI GTX 770 TWINFROZR

Like.. Nothing

Maybe 2 fps or so, from personal experience (you can connect both monitors to your GPU)

If you connect one monitor to you IGP your CPU will get a little bit hotter and your drivers might hate you. Other than that, no difference. Unless you're using the monitors in surround, in that case definatly hook them up to your GPU.

Personally, I saw a difference, such as less stuttering and what not when I moved my secondary monitor to the integrated gpu.  Also it improved stability which allowed me to get a higher overclock on my card.  I have a gtx 660 ti.
