dosent affect preformance at all

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Spoiler

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

It will affect RAM usage as well as take another CPU core and some GPU but not enough to make a difference, unless you open a ton of tabs in a browser (each tab uses RAM). Any video will take a certain amount away from the GPU so keep that in mind as well.

Incorrect, sort of. It doesn't directly affect performance, unless you're GPU is a potato that barely has enough RAM to run dual monitors.

Examples include USB video card adapters, and integrated graphics on older laptops.

This is more correct. It will use a bit more VRAM and/or system RAM, depending on your graphics and processor, but it's not noticeable...

Unless you're like me and always have a minimum of 30-40 Chrome tabs open. Or you simply open Skype - then shit can hit the fan using dual monitors.

Actually, opening Skype at all is just a bad idea in itself. But I digress.

saw no differense with my 8800GT, thats 10 years old so any relevant GPU that can still play games will not have a problem
