I want to run 2 cards in my system and run 2 monitors. Is there a way that i can make the 2 cards still work together and still run both monitors??

I don't think there are any games that use two monitors. It is either one or three.

For two monitors, a single card is sufficient. Even if gaming, on one monitor, the side monitor adds little load.

The purpose of dual cards(sli or cf) is to apply the combined power to speed up the single attached gaming monitors.

Well, first thing is you don't need 2 cards to run 2 monitors, just about any modern day card will run 2-3 monitors. If you are asking if you can run Crossfire or SLI with 2 cards and run multiple monitors, then the answer is yes. I know you can run Eyefinity on 2 monitors, and I'd assume you could do the same with Nvidia cards. You wouldn't want to run games on 2 monitors though, many games like first and third person games will be a nightmare to play since there will be a split right down the middle, usually where the crosshairs are.
