I don't believe that you'll need a second card for any single screen, but two will be very nice for three screens.

3 screens is amazing for both gaming and productivity ;)

It's brilliant when it works in games, but for researching, essays, poker etc. 3 screens is now mandatory!
 
Oh whats this I have:

Looks like they gave my share of tangfastics to cleee as well :(
 
I might post in CS and ask if they will exchange a bag of Haribo for my Deus EX key :p

Edit: My dual link DVI-D cable will fit in this single link connector wont it?
 
I will but I'm just being lazy, wait 6 days for a card, open the box then sit down and look at it while watching Eastenders :p

If you've activated the other 2 games your Deus Ex key won't work on someone elses account... or at least mine didn't. I got given Deus Ex from a friend from an old AMD deal, so I went to give it to someone else and it didn't work for him.

Well that sucks, I've seen them being sold loose on the MM though?

Downloading drivers now, installed the card, spent 15mins running about the house looking for a knife/snips to cut the cable tie off the 2pin from my 6+2pin connectors.

Its VERY close to the sound card (the reactor core that is), but it does fit, what an absolutely amazing looking card it is, the build quality and presentation is the best I've ever had on a card.

Haha I know, will have to get looking for a sound card that will fit in the bottom PCIEx8/x4 slot.

Can't believe how huge this card is either.

Did you have any joy with your driver crash problem cleee?
