I recently bought two 1280 x 1024 monitors to flank my large 1920 x 1200. I run the two smaller monitors in portrait mode so the 1280 pixels almost line up with the 1200 high primary display. In windows the two smaller monitors are centred with 40 pixels extra at the top and bottom (does that make sense?) to minimize the slight size/resolution difference. Here is my diagram, although I circled the wrong corner on the main display: http://i.imgur.com/KdwJdpFh.jpg
My question is whether this sort of setup will work well for gaming. I have the opportunity to twin my MSI gtx460 cyclone through craigslist. I thought I would set them up in SLI but I don't know is this will work well. Can I run any combination of mixed resolution and orientations on multi-monitor gaming with SLI?
here's the setup if it wasn't clear: http://i.imgur.com/P3dby16h.jpg
edit: And while I'm at it, I only have two 6+2pin connectors from my CMPSU-650TX psu, can I use some sort of adaptors to get the 2nd video card powered? It needs another two 6pin connections.
