Im curious lol i cant quite understand why your doing this? you can run 2 monitors through your 9800gx2 and the 9800gx2 is slightly better than the 4870 isnt it?

Just use your 9800 GX2 for both monitors.
Dont buy a 4870.
If you want something better then the 295.

you are correct but with duel monitors i am having to split the gpu in half

as the 9800gx2 is made of two cards in one case

so when i am playing games i do not as the fps i wish so if i can the whole gpu working on it i world get the fps i want this is where the 4870 comes in for the extra power

Yes because both work separately from each other

jsut to get it strait! (before i bring gordon freeman down here if your wrong)

would the phyx driver run the gpu and all the video stuff on my 24"

and the 4870 driver would run the 23"

would i be able to interact with both monitors like i am now with just the 9800gx2? (desktop is streched across and i can drag windows across)
