2 Monitors question

Thread Starter 
Hey, I own Samsung T240 at the moment and my GPU is GTX 570. I was wondering in case I get a Samsung S23A700D (120Hz) Monitor, Will I be able to use them both while getting 120Hz for my 700D with no probs? I'm not sure how cause I dont even know how the 700D should be plugged in order to get 120Hz. But Will I have to plug my T240 to the motherboard or could use GPU with DVI?

And how can I configure that all games or anything will runr on the 700D while the T240 just shows the desktop or w/e?

I was told by people running it that it works when I asked The Same Question. You'll need dual link DVI for the 120Hz and either of what's left on the GPU for the 60Hz (you onboard graphics should work the same way but I can't confirm that), just set the the 120Hz as primary and focus in Nvidia control panel and anything firescreen goes to it. I'm not sure if it's any different without SLi but some games are a bit picky about showing the second screen with desktop, they can normally be made to with Alt-Tab'ing.
