with extended desktop should be able to do both at the same time. i browsed the internet on my monitor whilst a film plays on the TV without problems when i had my HD6850.

its a windows setting for multiple monitors. can have extended (different things on different screens) or duplicate (same thing on different screens).

no i am not talking about eyefinity. extended desktop is a windows vista/seven and maybe XP thing, where you can extend the desktop. so if you have more than one monitor it allows you to display different things on each screen. windows also has a duplicate option, where it shows the same thing on every screen. eyefinityNvidia surround, however, alows you to use all 3 screens as though they were one single screen. completly different.
