Monitor Spanning

Ive heard this cuts the Video Memory in half to power both displays, but If I go into a game will it use all the memory of the graphics card? Or, is it still split up, because I cant spare any video ram in a game.

Whenever spanning is enabled, your VRAM is split half-and-half between the two screens. The only way to get it back is to unplug the external monitor.
