There I was.. eating my pizza when I felt a strange yet familiar chill run through my body. I dashed to my PC to confirm my fears... Someone is looking into SLI setups...
So I am video card novice. I have a friend who wants to sell me a second video card of the one I have now. I understand I can do something called "SLI" to hook them together.
My friend is also a little rusty on the 2 cards thing and what he told me makes me feel like it is kinda pointless.
What I asked him: When I set this up with 2 monitors should I plug 1 monitor into each card, or do they act as 1 so it doesn't matter?
What he said: You put the primary monitor in the primary card, because when you switch to SLI mode, you will lose the second monitor and everything goes to just the primary.
Uhm... please tell me that is not accurate?
I like to play windowless bordered on my left screen, with my browsers/chat/etc in my right screen. If this is the setup I rock when gaming am I really not going to get any benefit from having the second card and/or will I not be able to use the second monitor?
I'll PM you about SLI setups. There's a bit that goes into them and suck to config when you're just learning about them.
