Hi Henrik,

Thank you very much for the response.  I really don't care about the SLI.
I'm not that into gaming.  I'm mainly just concerned about the dual
displays.  However, if I'm reading this correctly it sounds pretty cool.
Could I use both video cards together, in SLI mode, to output a game on one
display?  And when not playing games, use both video cards independently for
dual display in windows?  If so, that would be pretty awesome.

Thanks!

Chris

Hi Chris,

if you have compatible cards, you can run SLI on one screen, regardless of
how many screens you have connected.

I use two Nvidia Quadro FX 3400 PCIe, which are connected to two Dell 2405
LCD's, I could hook two more up, but I would not be able to have SLI running
:-)

I hope this answers your question, also if you want to color calibrate your
screens, you need independent video cards for each screen with separete
LUT's

regards

Henrik Tived
