Soon I plan on building a new RIG with dual GPU's but before I do I was just wondering, Does my monitor require two DVI ports to plug both cards in? or is there a way to have both cards run off from one Port on the monitor?

Also does the same principal go for three or 4 GPU's aswell? would the monitor require three/Four DVI ports or something along those lines?

Thanks.

Nope, just connect card 1 to your monitor(s).

The cards should come with a bridge connector providing they support SLI or Crossfire, and this bridge is installed directly on the cards inside your case. You'll only need to hook up one DVI from your video cards to your monitor.
