    Hello
    Does anyone know if it is possible to run two monitors while running two SLI graphics cards?
    thanks

    I don't have any links to hand but from what I've read a while back is that dual monitors do not take advantage of dual graphics cards. You'd think would but apparently not? I'm sure somebody will reply with more solid info shortly.

    Not when in SLI mode. :) If you disable SLI mode you can then use 4 monitors.

    thanks. i have two monitors running off of the one card and i really need to use both of them because i always run multiple programs at once and it makes it so easy, and i don't want to spend money on another card if it wont support dual view monitors

    SLi mode runs all your GPU combined power through one port so with a standard config no, you can't have two monitors.

    If you're willing to go to the expense though, you could use Matrox Dual-Head which will effectively combine your two monitors into one big one.
