I run a multi display setup and as we all know these do not work with sli. I find it annoying to go into the settings and manually turn sli on and off. I was hoping to find some one who knew if there was a way I could turn sli on and off and enable/disable my monitors with a small program or something along those lines.

Nope,

I personally find no reason to even do dual monitors, i personally use a laptop aside of my gaming rig. I am typing on this laptop right now. It is a good investment, as you can get a duron 8-00 alppy from 150-200 bucks, and does the job

I have my plasma hooked up to my rig, and I have the same issue, its just nicer to watch TV/movies on the big screen.

I believe there is an option under SLi that you can click it on and off.

Yeah i think he knows this, but he was looking for a quick on/off shortcut to the desktop or something of the likes.

It's been awhile since I’ve posted on these forums, and I just realized how much I don’t miss the sarcasm most of you like to post with. Its pretty annoying to have a question be “I’m thirsty what should I drink” and a response to that would be “We did your mom buy you pop tarts for breakfast”. It’s sad how people make time to post dumb :banana::banana::banana::banana: all day.

Any way before people assume I don’t need dual monitors, let explain why I do use them. I use them for work, end of story.

Omega thank you …. The rest … useless.

I hope you all come back here and rant how I’m a :banana::banana::banana::banana: for posting this, it’ll just further prove to me how waste full you spend your days.

Is popping the panel open (takes 2 clicks) really such a chore?

Back in the early days of SLI you had to reboot to switch it on and off! Count yourself lucky.
