pc dual monitor gaming image

On PC to run dual monitors or to run on a big screen with full resolution you need a nice video card, but consoles don't really have high performance video cards, how come they can run on massive monitors no problem?
Answer
The size of the screen has nothing to do with needing a better graphics card. It's the resolution of the screen or the number of lines or pixels in the case of computer monitors.
Consoles always output at the same resolution, usually 720p or 1080p, and games are optimized for console hardware.
PCs don't have that luxury because there are hundreds of possible hardware combinations, unlike the Xbox or PS3 which only have one. They can't optimize games for all hardware, plus there's more overhead because PCs also have to run WIndows or whatever else in the background as well. That, and PC versions tend to have improved graphics since developers often take advantage of the superior hardware.
In any case, 720p on a 20" screen will be no different from 720p on a 50" screen because the number of lines/pixels is the same, although it probably won't look as good on the latter as the pixels would be more visible on a bigger screen.

What should i upgrade on my gaming pc next?
Austin
So ive built this awesome gaming pc. here are the specs
15 3570K
AMD 7950 twin frozer
8 gb ddr3 ram
850 watt psu
motherboard isnt really important
and ive got more than enough space. i have a 2tb hard drive and a 500gb hard drive (running linux) along with a 1tb external drive for backup.
its in a zalman z11 plus case. there is a disc drive installed btw. i also have dual monitor and a levitron gaming keyboard and R.A.T 5 gaming mouse. if anyone cares
So my question to you is.
Im gonna have some extra money soon and was wondering what you think i should upgrade first. Like what you think would be most beneficial.
Also if there is any great applications (free or paid) that you think i should get.
Thanks guys.
if you have any questions just ask in the answers
Answer
never change a winning horse...
do you feel your PC needs new hardware?
if so, which are the symptoms?
but okay, if you can just throw the money out without a 2nd though, the only "mismatch" in your config is the CPU
get yourself an i7 3990x and you should have enough processing power
in fact, more then anything you are ever likely to need >¦-)
