Apologies for the simple question, but I've been Nvidia since the dawn of time..
I don't want eyefinity (one monitor is only 1680x1050, the other two are 1920x1080), and I've got three total monitors. I don't want to stretch games across multiple monitors, one monitor at a time is fine.
Right now they run fine (all 3 monitors) on a GTX670 (2 DVI + 1 HDMI). I'm moving the monitors over to a dual 6950 setup. I was thinking that as long as I didn't crossfire the two cards, and just used them as two, independent video cards, I could go DVI+HDMI on one card and DVI on the second card.
From my brief research it seems like this won't work? They may detect in some manner, but Windows won't extend the desktop across 3 monitors in this situation..?
I've ordered an active mini-displayport adapter (to DVI) to be safe, but I'd be very happy if I could return it..
What's the verdict here.. Do I really need this adapter when using two non-Xfire 6950's to simply extend the desktop across three monitors?
