Been a long while since I have even lurked here, but I have a question about a PC build I was about to work on:
I am planning on running 2x BFG 8800GTX OC2 cards on a eVGA nForce 780i motherboard. What I would like to do, ideally, is have them set up for SLI, but have 1 monitor plugged into each card. When I am working, surfing the net, watching movies I will use both monitors, each being run by a separate card. Then, when I fire up a game, I would turn on SLI and disable the second monitor, then use both cards to power the 1 screen.
Can it work that way? or would I have to power down, unplug the second screen, open up the case, put on the SLI bridge, and then power back up in order to switch?
