Sorry if this has been asked already. Can you use the ports on the second card if its in CF? I would like to setup a 3+1 setup with my 4th monitor over top of the 3 for other apps. I had planned on getting the 5870 Eyefinity edition but if i can do this and do CF i might go this way instead. |

I did some poking around and it looks like this wont work? Can anyone confirm this?(2 5800 cards in cross fire with 3 monitors in a group and the 4th on the second card in as a side monitor) Has anyone added another card to the mix on the system for the extra monitor? Any complications from this? |

The original idea with the CF cards wont work? or the idea of adding a low end card to the system just to run b/s apps in the background? |

If you have crossfire enabled you can only use outputs on one card (3 outputs). If you want a 4th monitor while running crossfire you have to add a 3rd card. If you can sacrifice the 4th monitor while gaming you can always run 2 cards, setup a profile with them not crossfired and run up to 6 monitors then have a profile setup with crossfire activated, when you switch to that profile any monitors not on the primary card will automatically be disabled unless they're on a seperate (3rd) card. |
