Hi Chris,
I don't play games too, but I bought the setup to be able to calibrate both
monitors seperately. Yes, It is pretty awesome, though I have yet to install
a game on my machine :-)
A friend has been using normal 6600 nvidia cards with 4 samsung monitors
setup in a square, using two cards as well.
Only thing is you have to reboot to change from SLI to dual view
I am very happy with it, if you just want to run two monitors, then I have
been very happy with Matrox cards in the past, I have a parhelia in my other
box, which can run 3 (three) screens of one card.
Hope this helps, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact
me,
Kindest regards
Henrik

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

I have an SLI motherboard, it's an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe. I have a generic
video card that only supports one DVI. I'm adding a second flat panel.
If
I add a second PCI Express video card, can I run dual monitor? Or does
the
second video card only do processing?(for increased FPS in games)? Or do
I
need to buy a video card that has two DVI outs?
The video card will have to handle some high res. My first monitor runs
at
1680 x 1050, 32 bit color. Second monitor will run at 1280 x 1024.
Thanks!
Chris
