Just curious if you can Crossfire with two LCD monitors for boxing now. I know I have crossfire disabled because it didn't work with two monitors before. I have not updated my drivers forever so I don't know if it they made that possible.

short answer NO,

longer answer is ati/nvidia cards now come with software that easily allow you to turn SLI on and off, when its off, both monitors will work as normal, when its on, one monitor will go black, or display part of your windows background well the main monitor uses 2/3/4 of your video cards in SLI.

I believe that you can run two cards but not in SLI or X-fire. Innerspace will work and I heard Windows 7 also will handle the gpus

If your primary card supports multiple monitors (multiple ports) you can turn on Crossfire by connecting both monitors on the primary card. You can’t use Crossfire when the monitors are attached to each card.

Maybe the Matrox DualHead or TripleHead is what you are looking for. it splits one single to 2 monitors. You can play even play one game in wide panoramic in 3840x1200 across 3 monitors.
