i just plugged in the second 7950gx2, and it is detected and working, the nvidia control panel lists all 4 monitors that i have hooked up when it asks which monitor to use quad sli with.... but when i turn off sli it wont let me use more than 2 monitors? :confused:
and it only lets me choose from the two moitors hooked up to the first video card :confused: and it only has the four options below, no DualView :confused:

ok so i checked "extend my desktop onto this monitor" for monitor #2 in the display control panel and now it lets me change the configuration for both cards:

but there is still no dualview option available... all i can do is stretch the screen across each set of two monitors which is useless cuz the resolutions dont match and two of the monitors are rotated 90degrees on my desktop

as it is now, im running one moitor off of each of the two cards :(

Nice sounding setup you have there. Maybe you can answer a question I have. Can you switch to SLI mode without rebooting and just have your other 3 monitors go black or do they stay on, or even worse do you have to reboot?
