Dual Video Cards: Definitive Answer is?

[Ualaa]

Out of curiosity, what are the resolutions of your monitors?

I run a ATI5870 and 8800GTS in the same box, 3 monitors on the 5870 and 2 on the 8800 it works fine i can run main on full setting and other on lower setting i lock fps at 30 on main and 15 on others i could get more fps but you don't really need it in WoW.

I find the cards work well together, i'm using IS Boxer.


My system is i7 920 with 12gb Ram, and running wow on a intel SSD. I run 5 account at once each full screen on each of the 5 screens.

Out of curiosity, what are the resolutions of your monitors?

Main is 1600x1200 (23in Wide Screen)

rest = 3 @ 1280x0124 1 @ 1280x960 (These are the native resolutions of the mish mash of monitors i have)

Also i run windows 7 64bit, I get no lag at all from the slaves or the master... the main has most effects set to maximum, and the slaves are set to minimum except for viewing distance which is set to maximum. as said i lock the FPS, but i could let it go higher easily enough..

I run the latest ATI drivers from their site, while i use the windows drivers for the Nvidia 8800GTS card.

So windows 7 gets around Vista's sillyness that didn't allow ATI and NVidia to play nice together?

I've been all nVidia for quite a while now, and havent really thought much about ATI, but their new eyefinity sounds awesome. I was going to get a 5870 but they are hard to find in stock anywhere.
