Hey guys,
I have seen a lot of stuff about using the iGPU in conjunction with a single GPU to provide multi-monitor support. I was wondering if this was possible using 2 or 3 way crossfire as well. Or do all the video channels get absorbed by the multiple PCI slots.
I currently use my HD7850 (crossfired) to power 3 monitors. Which works great but I have had some reoccurring issues with cards dying on me. I think it might be due to the need for an active DP to VGA/DVI adaptor. So my question is can I throw the small 19" monitor that I use on to my onboard graphics to reduce the need for additional adaptors on my cards.
