Hello, i am using RADEON HD7850 on mine PC, and i pluged into it 2 monitors:
1. LG Flatron w2452t by a DVI port
2. Packard bell Maestro 223DXL by a VGA port (dvi-vga kable)
And i got a massive lag, when playing 2 wideos (not even HD) the whole pc gets glithy and laggy... Screens work in 1+2 mode, the LG is primary and Maestro is seckond. When im using only 1 monitor everthyn is fine and super speed, but in 2 monitors mode i even cat rlly play in low tech games. Drivers are latest from the site for Windows 7 x64 wich im working on. In the device managment the monitors are seen as PnP monitor (what ever that means).
I used the same monitor on mine old PC where i was having GTX 260 and it worked fine and smooth.
Will be gratefull for any solution
This is mine PC

Make sure you have enough GDDR memory to support the extra textures the GPU has to handle with 2 monitors. Usually 1GB isn't enough for 1 monitor. Or you can buy the same gpu and crossfire them for better performance and multiple monitor support

Bah, 1gb is more than enough for multi monitor setup, hell i was playing dvd's on a tv connected via vga cable on a 64 meg gpu like 7-8 years ago. Now a few practical questions, what are your core and memory clocks when playing videos on multi monitor setup (easiest way to see them is with gpu-z) and what player are you using to play them? Are they running in windowed (or full screen borderless windowed) or full screen D3D mode? Do they use DXVA?

Yea, i was running 2 monitors in lot less GDDR and there was no problems.
BUT i checked things today, and i unpluged the seckond monitor (maestro) so the one left is Flatron connected by DVI (the bottom plug on the card, not the one by HDMI's). And i still got lags ! The problem is with a game "world of warcraft" when it runs it glithes whole mine PC, im running sometimes 1 and sometimes 10 windows with that game, and there were never problems, only now, after using the PC for like 2-3 weeks.
So i think its the game (as i always got it running in the backround) lags the PC, but this problem is fresh and i was running the game before with no problem on the same PC/Windows/Gfx drivers. So i think i installed smthn mainwhile that sloows down the game, im posting mine settings on the PC, so plz check them if everting is OK, if yes, i will look for the problem elswere.
So check plz this screen shot with the settings, is everything ok?

You were playing DVDS, that require absolutely no gpu power at all. It's a game for god's sake

Why do you have your power control set at 0%? Try it at +20.

Well im not the most advance person on the whole GPU thing.
Any hints what i could change in the settings to run as much as possible game windows in lowest quality and resolution possible. So i can run a max number of them, not laging the PC?

I just gave you one....move the slider all the way to the right. +20. Are you trying to save electricity? Move the slider....don't forget to hit "apply".

oh yeah they do require gpu power, i was making an example with a very old pc! with modern hardware obviously it seemingly consumes nothing.
