pwede ra man ang 7850 for both monitors, ngano buwagon man nimo? if power consumption ang purpose..mu downclock man ang 7850 @ idle like web browsing/office apps..negligible ra power consumption difference sa igp

Because the 7850's performance will be crippled if it is rendering 2 monitors at the same time even though i'm just gaming with 1 monitor.

False, Im running a GTX 470 along with an i5 3570, Im using 2 monitors on the GTX 470 and a TV on the iGPU. I still have 2 ports to spare for the iGPU, although to run 3 monitors using the iGPU (the same goes with GPUs), one must be plugged in a DisplayPort.

This is what I'm talking about hehe. So your 3 displays (2 monitors + 1 tv) can be used in extended display mode?

Multi tasking with 2 monitors while gaming may depend on the game. Some games like BF4 require Alt-Tabbing even though there are 2 displays, BUT,

-While gaming with 1 monitor, it's quite difficult to notice the chat notifications. Especially facebook xD.
-Watching a youtube video/ or playing a movie on the 2nd monitor while gaming
-ETC
-ETC
-ETC

But these are just some of the reasons why I want 2 graphics controllers to render each monitor separately.

Main reasons for having 2 monitors in general, Graphics design.

UPDATE: I may not have to alt-tab anymore

Correct. Also, I experience no performance decrease even when watching on the second monitor plugged in the gpu and gaming on the other.

Eyefinity is AMD. He's build is Intel. Hahaha

But his card is ATI, thus, it is AMD and therefore it is Eyefinity...

and it's "His" not "He's"..
