I got a second monitor and am running two 1920x1080 displays now. The problem I'm having is, that on Windows 7, it seems running Aero with two displays results in animation lag when dragging or minimizing/maximizing windows.
I tried disabling Aero, but without Aero, Windows 7 looks like total shit.
Anyway, I want to know if you guys suggest going with 8/8.1 or 10, and if there's a way to disable all the Metro shit.
inb4 gentoo/linux, I use this PC for gaming.

I have a 280x w/ 3GB RAM. Can this thing really not run two displays of Windows 7 w/ Aero?

Why do you need two displays? You got 2 heads?

Not here, even with a shitty old GPU.

Use classic theme.
>8/8.1 or 10
Those have "Aero", which uses even more resources than in 7.
tl;dr it's not 7 related, maybe you need better drivers
Have you set your advanced system settings to custom? You can disable most animation fluff, but leave aero on, see if that helps.
Also how much system RAM? Whats your pagefile look like? Drivers all up to date? Aero shoudlnt be causing issues like that

might be AMD then. i'll try installing beta drivers when i get home to see if maybe that fixes it. thanks for the info
>>52156560
Yeah, i disabled all the animation stuff I could find. I have 8GB system ram, 3gb vram with latest AMD drivers.
Not sure I know exactly what the pagefile does after a quick google.
>>52156659
Well your RAM is not an issue so forget that
I know youre not on a laptop, but is the PC set to high performance mode in the power options?
>>52156037
hello reddit.
anyway, that shouldn't be happening.
my 5450 (way slower than your card) has no problem with dual screens and windows 7.
eventually you can try windows 8. windows 10 offers literally zero (0) improvements and a whole lot of botnet that cannot be disabled.
Yes, Goy
Aero is Good for Nothing
But keep it.
Buy a bigger INTEL CPU
and two NVIDIA CARDS
for that fucking AERO
buy more gullible goy
