Multiple Monitors Working with Quad SLi

[thephenom]

Yeah, in developing my app (see above), I was wondering if people with and without SLi could give me some FPS numbers of games running fullscreen vs. windowed, all other things equal.

I'm getting weird windowed behavior (full screen is perfect), and am not sure if it has to do with the GX2, the Quad-SLi, or this whole dual monitor hack I am doing.

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.

From what I understand and have heard, with Crossfire, you can run Windows just fine with dual monitors, but once you start a game, one turns off.



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

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

I'm not to much into multi-monitor setups and multi card systems, but does Crossfire X support this way of gaming? (accelerated and all....)

Yes it does support Dual Screen gaming.
