Hi guys.
I am thinking of doing a graphics upgrade before Skyrim comes out, since my motherboard and PSU support x8/x8 SLI i think i want to give that a go. The only thing is that i don't know a lot about it but i have been reading up on it. My first problem is that i want to also buy a second monitor for audio recording and also to put music/web browser/facebook etc on while im gaming, can i do the latter in SLI? I tried googling this but most answers i found were pretty unclear.
Also are there any more problems/downsides i should be aware of? As far as i know, the advantages and disadvantages seem to be:
Pros:
Can be better bang for your buck.
Can be a good upgrade path
Bragging rights
Also some (like me) just want to try it because it's interesting. (Like water cooling)
Cons:
Need a better PSU and motherboard
Sucks more power
Takes more space
Produces more heat
Not all games support it
Bad multi monitor support
Thanks in advance for any help guys
