Regarding multiple monitors and multiple GPUS

[Drojman]

Hi all,

Sorry to post another question again, but I'm still getting to grips with having multiple GPUs.

So I have two monitors on my desk, and I'm wondering what is the best way to have these set up? They work if I have both monitors connected to separate cards, or the same one. Is it always best to have them coming from the same one?

I also wondered about Crossfire. If you're playing a multimonitor game, is it better to have the cards each displaying a monitor, or again hooked up to the same GPU?

Thanks in advance.

I have a 295x2 and 290X. Monitors are two IIYAMA somethings 1080p. I'll have to check for the specific model.

Connect both monitors to the 295x2, will you be setting up an Eyefinity desk top or just an extended desk top ?

Also when gaming on multiple screens I found 2 to be hard work as you have no centre ( on certain types of games ) so its either 3 of similar size or 1 large one IMO
