• First time working with dual monitors, please answer my questions
    7 replies, posted
1. How do I make each monitor have it's own wallpaper? 1.1 How do I make one wallpaper stretch to both monitors? 2. Will the radiation radiating from both monitors make me die? 3. How do I make a fullscreen game run in the secondary monitor? I can only seem to run them in primary 4. Do games run better or worse in windowed fullscreen mode? Thanks for any help

1. Wallpaper Slideshow LT (freeware) is what I use for mismatched random wallpapers, but you can set them manually in windows (8). Can't slideshow multiple monitor wallpapers though. 1.1: Yes. 2. Yes. 3. Games will automatically default to the primary monitor. Just set it beforehand under Screen resolution. 4. Depends on the game. Some games like war thunder flat out refuse to work with things like crossfire. If you're running single-GPU, outside of some glitches with antialiasing and some anomalies, you'll roughly get the same fps +- a few. [editline]f[/editline] If running win7, DisplayFusion or Actual Multiple Monitors will do for more extensive multiple monitor support. If running Win8, no such program is necessary except for Wallpaper Slideshow LT if you want multiple monitor wallpaper slideshow functionality.

That's too bad. Do all games nowadays have an option to set which monitor to play at?
