My company just had our computer tech build new machines for our engineering department. (Intel core 2 Duo @ 2.33, 4G Ram, and a 8800 GTS VC). The problem we are having is getting performance out of dual monitors. We are running a 3D modeling program called SDS2 by design data. Our old machines ran the dual monitor fine but we had a lot of lag issues in the 3D program. I believe we were running an old 124M AVG card. We expected much better performance out of this card. When we set the graphics up for single monitor we get amazing performance. When we set up dual monitors we get worse performance than our old stations. Can anyone please help us resolve these issues? I'm pretty sure it’s a setup issue and our comp tech is no help. Thanks in advance for your help.

If it's 3d rendering you'd have been better with a quadro. But regardless of that this type of usage requires a lot of bandwidth and also you're trying to run two monitors, with intensive tasks thrown in, on a 320mb card. Basically using 160mb per monitor (not strictly true; load dependent per monitor but keeping things simple). If these monitors are above 1024x768 then that's where your problem lies.
