I just got a new computer at work and a pair of LCD monitors. Now, because it's a dual monitor system, I thought I'd use each of them vertically and make a virtual 3:2 screen with them, to best approximate an ordinary 4:3 screen.

However, now that I have done so I can't help but feel that things seem to redraw a little slow and I suspect that I'm taking a performance hit by having the video card rotate everything by 90°.

So, does anyone know anything about video cards and their DVI output? Is there really a performance penality for rotating my screen? Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
Thank you...
