Hi All,

there is a huge performance problem when some openGL context is displayed in a window extending multiple screens, typically 2 monitors driven by the same graphic card; here on a DP G5 2.7Ghz with an ATI Radeon 9600, the frame rate is at 25fps when the window is entirely on one screen, but as soon as it extends on 2 screens, fps drops at 12 fps...

this topic has been probably discussed before, i think there are graphic cards which handle much better dual monitors display (nVidia?), or probably there are some new ones coming out there (the Matrox DualHead2Go box);

any advise or recent experiences on this issue?
