Hello,

I have 2x Nvidia 7900GTX's. I was wanting to run them in SLi, but i have two monitors. When I put it in SLi the one monitor turns off. I was wondering if there is a way to run both monitors while in SLi. Thanks for your time,


Tim

Darn, that sucks. It's a real pain switcing between SLi and non SLi. What a stupid thing. You can use 2 on one video card, but hey no, you cant increase your power or you lose the capability? Well thanks anyways, if anyone else has any ideas please please let me know, it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Tim

Multi-display SLI is only available to the Quado line, and even then it's not really the same thing.

I have the same problem.
I do in this way...

I have 2 computer accounts.
One for games (1x screen - SLI max power) and
another for work (2x screen - non SLI for work purpose)

But yes, this really sucks.
Before when I had only one card, I use to have dual screen all the time.

Oh wow I didn't know this.... I was actually looking at hooking up / buying my second card to run SLi. I too have 2 monitors that I use with one card & thought how nice it would be to have my SLi running & have 2 monitors. Guess I will have to only play with the one & use them both when I am doing other things other than gaming.
Thanks for asking the question...... You helped me from going down that road of problems!!! Jason
