Running a 2nd monitor on a 2nd video card really won't offer any improvement as it will default to software rendering.
Why do so many people on db.com use multiple non sli/crossfire cards then? Only to support more monitors? I have the money to get 2, or a 4870x2, I just dont quite see how there can be no performance gain by running them on a separate monitor.
Could you possibly explain what exactly is the benefit/disadvantage (technically) of having a monitor on each card? I'm quite computer fancy, compared to the average, but upto now I just never use sli/xfire or multiple gfx cards before
