Currently using a msi hd7850, considering upgrading soon. I plan to be playing two separate games at once (on separate monitors), though one will be a relatively much easier to run game. Example would be FIFA 15 and League of Legends at the same time, one using kb and mouse while the other uses xbox 360 controllers. Is this possible (ie, will the controls conflict somehow, any software workaround) and what gpu should i be looking at.

I don't think you can control both game at the same time ba.. like normal pc usage,when you switch to other app the input will all be focus on to the main app le... cannot control both simultaneously unless there is a special application to do it

you can't, control will be given to the game that's on focus..
but you can use a vm to host your fifa and have the controller assigned to it.
and have your main pc play lol with your keyboard and mouse...

Not possible with windows though Jetway tried to do it before

Also, I have no idea how 1 graphics card is supposed to render for 2 game simultaneously.

This kind of scenario is apparently possible in Linux though.

Using VM to do it sounds like a good solution.. eg, having LoL in the VM and routing the keyboard and mouse to it, fifa out of the vm with the default input. Is it possible?

Im thinking of a scenario where I have friends over at my house and some can play fifa on the big tv while another LoL haha
