Time for new monitor(s), am attracted to a 21:9 34" e.g. LG 34UC97 curved £780, instead of a pair of smaller ones.
Q1: It's 3440x1440, so if initially retaining my Quadro FX580, which can do 2 monitors but only 2560x1600, what would be the effect - monitor width not fully used, or wouldn't run at all?
Q2: AS MS uses DirectX, if I got a new card, could it be a non-CAD-pro card (i.e. 'gamers')? The FX580 is (was) an entry-level CAD-pro card with (full?) OpenGL. Are there other reasons, beside the DirecX vs OpenGL one, why I should stick with a CAD-pro replacement. I would want to retain multi-monitor capability, but guess that's available with a non-CAD-pro card?
Q3: I also use Acad 2D a lot, which uses OpenGL, but as far as I remember ran fine on my previous non-pro card. So would Acad suffer with a new non-pro card?
Q4: Any way I can run dual cards - so MS automatically runs on a new fat DirectX gamer's card, while Acad can run simultaneously on the OpenGL FX580, either on same or a separate monitor?
Q5: I use a SpacePilot - does that have any bearing on CAD-pro vs non-CAD pro card?
