Hi All

I just got the Sapphire HD 4850 x2 2gb GRAPHICS CARD it has 4 Dvi Connections on it
if i use only 2 monitors i can leave Crossfire enabled.... but if i want to use 3 or 4 Monitors i have to disable crossfire...

question is by disabling crossfire dose this mean im only using 1 gpu to run 4 monitors now

thanks for all the help

You are using one GPU per 2 monitors. Though unless you are playing games you wont be using much of the GPU in that case. If you need to use 4 displays you can simply turn crossfire on before you play a game.
