From my experience with SLI and CF briefly, windowed mode gaming basically turns the game back to single GPU gaming performance. I've tried it briefly with a pair of 8800GTS and a pair of 3870s.

Yeah, just did some testing again with Crysis. Windowed cuts my FPS in half :(


So much for my app... lol.

Yeah, not sure. Don't have that game.

Crossfire-X works fine for Dual monitor gaming or dual screen. But you must have VISTA

Yes it does support Dual Screen gaming.
