multiple graphics cards

[daven1986]

hi guys,

now i know it is possible to run 3 screens with 2 graphics cards as long as they use the same driver, now my question is:

if my main monitor is on an 8800 for example and 2 side monitors are on an 8600 would it be possible to run multimonitor games using both graphics cards, or do the monitors have to be running on the same graphics card?

thanks

Supreme commander will run on 2 monitors on the same card OR seperate graphics cards iirc.

excellent news

wanted to play that game

im guessing most games won't have multimonitor support so it isn't really a big deal.

another question:
would the performance of a video playing on a monitor on the 2nd graphics card be acceptable when playing a 3d game on the first graphics card?

thanks
