If SLI worked at the same time as a 2nd card so I could have both SLI and 2 monitors I'd probably have bought one of these.

I'm just far, far more attached to dual monitors... Mind you I do understand that you need the 2gpu's to drive a SLI. That's ok. But if you get another card for a 975, just to drive a 2nd monitor, SLI shouldn't shut that off
