Thanks man,
Done and it's all up and running thanks. Questions though. because the second card is running off the molex splitters and adapters, is it getting the same amount of power as the first card and ifso is it getting the same type of power???? I'm no electrician so to me 12 v rails and all that stuff is still a mystery... I'm researching it more but still.... I thought 12v rails only went to the pci-e connectors but now I'm using molex 4pin connections with adapters and splitters so now I'm REALLY confused.

Good question. Where would I find that info??? If you're thinking it's on the side of the PSU, here's a pic from newegg.... I don;t see anything about it there.

No it requires one PCI-E slot.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_7_Series
"The 7950 GX2 requires only a single PCIe power connector, in contrast to the twin-connectors of its predecessor; technically, this is understandable, as there is no need for a ring bus configuration – frames need only be passed on to the primary GPU"
I don't know why it didn't work with your motherboard,but it requires only one PCI-E slot.
The ASUS support has probably mistaken it with 2 7950GX2s.

Hello,
I have 2 sapphire 5770's, and would like to run 4 monitors instead of 2in ab asus m4a79xtd motherboard. I don't care about crossfire mode, but i do care about the 4 monitor setup. Is there some was I can disable crossfire mode in CCC, remove the bridge between the 2 cards, and achieve an extended video image across 4 monitors ?
Thanks,
Rex Winters

No it doesn't.
"his is one the questions that many people make mistake understanding it .
The answer is NO , SLI or CrossFire doesnt double the memory , You have a 512MB card , adding another card wont make your memory 1GB, it still will be 512MB,so both cards will use 512MB of RAMs but the memory won't double.
Another example :
A game needs 512MB card to run at maximum settings , and you have a 256MB card , and you think if you add another 256MB card , your memory will be 512MB and thats not true."
If you still think its wrong,then please do a google search and read some trusted sites to be sure.

Great thread it was very informative. There i was looking for info on SLi and found this little beauty. My question is solved "would it be possible or worth it to SLI link my Nvidia 9600 GT with me soon to be purchased Nvidia GTX570" Answer: yeerrrrr.... No
Exactly. That is like Crossfiring an ATI 5970 with a ATI 4350.
