SLI question.

Ben036 · 08-December-05, 03:37 PM

I'm looking into doing SLI PCI Express video cards, and was wondering somthing. That would give you 4 dvi outputs on the back of your computer. If your doing dual screen, which plugs would you plug that into? Two into one card, or one into each card. For that matter, if you just had one monitor, where would you plug it in? Could you use more than 2 monitors? Thanks for your time

i have a sli setup, the primary display is usually one of the ports on your primary pci express port. i haven't been able to get multi monitors to work with SLI enabled. but if you disabled the sli you could get a quad setup.

Or...if you have the Gigiabyte Quad Royal, you can have 8 monitors
