Not sure why you're not able to get dual monitor support with the SLi disabled but . . .

This product will allow you to run two monitors WITH SLi enabled.

Dual2Go

I know it's an extra expense but, I'd imagine it'd be nice to run a dual monitor setup while running in SLi.

Dex did not double post. I deleted a post that was originally in between his two posts. Just wanted to state that before anyone jumped on him for "postwhoring" or anything.

I wish I had the money for the Dual2Go, You'd think all the money spent on SLi you'd beable to run dual moniters..lol

I'll book mark that link though in case I come across some money

thanks!

You don't.

No game out now with the exception of FlightSim supports two monitors in any way that makes sense. The new Supreme Commander which is due out soon will, so I have heard. The best you are going to get now is a really wide screen with a bezel in the middle.

Exactly what he said....Flight Sim only works in software rendering mode....
To my knowledge no video card is capable of rendering 3d animation over two or more screens.

It's not so much the cards that can't do it, I have been able to setup two monitors to try plying the original Neverwinter Nights, but like I said, you end up with the bezels in the middle of the image. The games simply not designed for that. I wish they were. I mean think about how cool it would be to play a game like NWN2 with the action on one monitor and your porttraits, inventory, spell lists, etc on the other.

Thanks guys for your help.

I did acually find a way to play doom3 over two moniters, just not fullscreen. I put in window and streched it over the moniters
