thanks, i'll check those out

I was wondering if anyone knew any good forums for website development help. I use this site all the time when I have hardware questions but recently I have started doing some basic web development and have some questions. The problem is that I don't know any good forums to post my generic...

thanks a lot for everyone's help. Everyone here always responds quickly and is very polite. I asked this same question at the sli zone forums and was told that my origional question of: What would be faster: two evga geforce 7600gs 512mb pci-e cards running sli or one xfx geforce...

Yes it is, but I own all three cards already, so i guess my question should have been: If I want to run two monitors, would i get better preformance out of running my main monitor on the 8600 and my secondary monitor on the 7600 or would it be better to run both monitors off the 8600?

Benchmarking seems to be what it is going to come down to. Back to one of my earlier posts though. If you are running two pci-e cards not in sli mode (each card running a different monitor) how much of a preformance hit will you take by splitting up the 16 channels into 2 sets of 8?

As I said earlier I already own all three cards, two 7600's and one 8600, so I am not going to go out and buy the 3850.

So after reading the new posts it seems that most people are saying that I should use the 8600 and not run sli. If I run the 8600 in non-sli mode, can i put the 7600 in my other pci-e slot and run my second moniter off that? Would i cause my 8600 to lose too much preformance from not having...

Price isn't really an issue for me - I own all three cards already so the advice to go buy a different card rather then the ones I'm asking about really isn't an option. I have been running the two 7600's in sli in my machiene and then my buddy's computer died and he gave the parts out of it...

any reasons why? My thoughts are that even though i'm going to a faster card i'm dropping down to a single card instead of sli and going from a combined 1 gb of video memory to 256mb. Am i just being ignorant and not realizing how much of an upgrade the faster card is?

What would be faster: two evga geforce 7600gs 512mb pci-e cards running sli or one xfx geforce 8600gts 256mb pci-e card which setup will be faster?

Hey everyone, First off I would like to say that I understand that SLI does NOT support dual monitors, this is not something I have a question about. Also, i understand that there have been a TON of dual monitor support issues posted on this forum and I have tried very hard to search through...

thanks for all the help everyone, got it all worked out

Thanks for the advice. One more question, on my motherboard I had to do something to enable sli mode. To do what was suggested where I uncheck sli in the nvidia control pannel and plug my second monitor into the second video card, do you think I should leave sli turned "on" on the motherboard?

Yea, I've done the whole one video card two monitors thing and that is really easy. What I'm more asking is if its possible to have a different video card running each monitor. I have two video cards and I want to take advantage of both of them.

Hey everyone, So I've been running my setup in sli mode for a while and I've decided that i would really rather not run in sli mode and use two monitors. My question is, I have two identical video cards and two identical monitors, do i just disconnect sli mode and plug monitor a into video...
