I don't think you'll need 2 video cards. I think my setup is close to
what you're looking for. I've got my monitor hooked up to the VGA port
on my card, and the DVI port goes to the TV. Using one card. So I've
got 1080p going to the TV and 1920x1200 going to my monior. It works
pretty well. I haven't got it setup exactly the way I want it, right
now I have some remote/focus issues. I haven't though of using 2
frontends, so i don't know what issues would crop up when doing that..
