Wakeman214 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 (edited) Does nVidia SLI support dual monitor support through both the DVI ports??? I wanna know because I was researching on zipzoomfly.com and I saw the BFG 6800GT OC 256MB with dual DVI,Link... if it does, wouldn't you be able to hook up four LCD monitors? :devil: , kinda makes you dream about quad 17" LCD monitor action!!! :woot: Edited April 6, 2005 by Wakeman214 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/305675-nvidia-sli-quad-monitor-support/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martog Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 If you have SLI enabled, it will only output on ONE video card, not both. You have to disable SLI in the nVidia drivers for it to output on both video cards.
