709587 2008-10-03 06:20:00 I am looking to buy a new PC that has two video cards installed in Crossfire, and I just wanted to know where exactly do you plug the monitor into? Can I just plug it into either card?

Any help would be appreciated. :)

709589 2008-10-04 11:43:00 A friend of mine had/has SLI 6600GTs, he's got 2 monitors and he says when you enabled it, the output to the 2nd monitor is cut off

I think it only works on the primary output of the first card, although the newer cards/drivers may allow either/both.

Have no clue about crossfire though. Never seen or owned a Radeon faster than AGP 8x

709591 2008-10-06 03:28:00 The point of CrossFire and SLi is to improve performance for ONE monitor. If you wish to use more than two monitors you must turn off SLi/CF. trinsic (6945)
