Dual Video Out with Radeon series cards: Does it reduce 3D performance?

[Dr. J]

Does utilizing 2 moniters on a dual moniter card such as the Radeon
9600 AIW Pro have a detrimental effect on 3D or even 2D performance?

Other than OpenGl doesn't work with more than one monitor enabled, I've
never noticed the diff, e.g. 1/2 displays active.

Just tried all 4 combinations with and without TV out, and with and without
VPU recover...

Aquamark3 scores varied by a quite inconsequential 0.3%

Oh, thats on my 9800 Pro using Cat 3.9.
