Fraps is showing me losing between 0 and 1 fps when I run with dual monitors..  provided I dont open a second "3d" window..   loading gauges and panels onto the 2nd monitor seems to have virtually 0 effect on performance.but  this is on FSX under DX10 mode.. so I dont know if that will be the case with FS9.

IF you add aircraft and other add-ons to either FS9 or FSX, at some point you will see the hit in frame rates. Add-ons are made by many individuals and not all of them follow a single convention as to how they develop the add-on. That is where having the second card will make a lot of difference.

Im not sure what your talking about...   adding a second card especially one inferior to the primary wont help out with anything..   except if you are running 3d apps on the second monitor.. (like what I mentioned, watching from the tower on the 2nd monitor while using cockpit view from the first)
