Thread: Dual monitor question

  1. #1

    Dual monitor question

    Right now im watching the VP debate on my big screen and typing this and browsing on my 22" LCD. My question is Can i play a game on my LCD while watching something on my big screen?

    And also, im using Component cables from my VGA to my Big Screen but i have to play the sound through my PC. Is there a way around this?

    Let me know if you need more info.

    Thanks!

    Oh btw im using a 9800gtx+.

    yes you could, but you would need a very good computer to do it, and the quality would suffer greatly.

    As for the sound thing.... some baords have SPDIF out.
