First yes you can use two monitors. Make sire the 3D 120 Hz monitor is your primary monitor from the Windows Control panel. There is a thread here on that: [url="http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=89310"]http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=89310[/url]

Second, each game has a different level of support for multi-mon. Some lock out the second screen and some dont. So this wil be a bit of end user interaction to see how the games work.

I've tried running Left 4 Dead in windowed mode without borders so that I could view things on my other monitor without having to tab out, but I find then that the 3D doesn't kick in and it just plays the game regularly. I haven't tried other games in windowed mode, but I suspect that the 3D drivers need to detect the presence of a full screen game before it kicks in.

Hi

Currently 3D Vision only supports fullscreen gaming. We documented this in our Tips and Tricks, Quick Start Guide, and in our [url="http://p_faqid=2311&p_created=1231458254&p_sid=4GywTiqj&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MTQsMTQmcF9wcm9kcz0xMzImcF9jYXRzPTAmcF9wdj0xLjEzMiZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0xJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9d2luZG93&p_li=&p_topview=1"]Knowledge Base Article here[/url].
