can you have 1 60hz monitor and 1 120hz monitor on the same comp?

The bottom 3 monitors will be working in 120hz in nvidia surround mode (for gaming). Will this be okay then given that the top center is sort of seperate (wont be used for gaming)

Has anyone even confirmed you can use 4 monitors?

I saw a video on youtube where a guy was using 6 in eyefinity.

So 4 should be fine

.

He needed a special 6970 to do it though, which had extra ports.

You should try reading the thread not just the last post.

JosephH is using SLI'd Nvidia cards not AMD.

you can run 4 screens on nvidia but ONLY with activate all displays selected, this allows me to run 3x120hz monitors and 1x60hz hdtv perfectly fine BUT this disables sli so its not good for gaming

you can have surround with 3 screens with sli or 4 screens with no sli basically, for me its useful for watching movies. gonna be replacing this hdtv with a projector next, well when 1080p 120hz are a more affordable price anyway

Thanks for clarifying that.

Thinking of solutions for a workaround -

Would getting a basic graphics card to run the top center monitor be a solution, allowing me to run SLI with the 2 580s in 120hz? Then down the line replacing the basic gfx for another 580 in triple SLI?
