Vegas,
Unfortunately yes. The processing power required to drive two monitors full screen in FS should essentially cut frame rates in half. I forget about
it somtimes when my FPS drops and then I remember to shut down all those open windows on the second monitor when I need my FPS to jump back up. But
yes, even with my machine, running the dual monitors full screen takes a real toll. Check out this article, it is a bit outdated but pretty spot on,
