I recently puchased a new system running an AMD FX-57 with dual Nvidia 7800GTX's in SLI. Does SLI support multiple monitors? And if so, could I use my Dell 24" 2405 with 2 19" monitors of different resolution? I suspect the answer is no, however I figured this would be the place to ask.
Thanks much
Patric

I believe it was no, but I think they updated the drivers. Best you give it a try...

I assume you already know that you could run all 3 monitors with those 2 cards, but you would not be using the SLI feature in that case. You should be able to switch back and forth from using all 3 to using SLI with only the primary, but you might have to reboot to make the switch.

thanks much... will there be an issue with the moitors running at different resolutions? I've learned that the latest Forceware drivers from Nvidia lets you switch in and out of SLI in software without a reboot.

No, there won't be any issues with running the monitors at different resolutions, assuming you are using regular Windows Extended Desktop mode, where windows knows you have 3 monitors connected.
