Probably not, you should be able to use SLi and not disable the monitors though.
ATI cross fire question

You need to connect both monitors to the primary card. I believe this is just a limitation of the technology.
It is the same for crossfire as well, no display devices work on my second card when crossfire is turned on. This is fine though since both of my monitors are connected to the primary card, where you may run into issues is if you have a third display running on the second card.

My question is: If i bought 2 4850's would i have to do the same? or could i have cross fire enabled? and get the full power from my gpu's for games. Thanks alot for your help and sorry for the typo's. |

his card is a 9800GX2, it does the SLI internally, same as using a 4870X2 on an NVidia chipset, his terminology was correct, and his card is running in sli.
Edit: Out of curiosity what is shipping between the US and UK?
