Can a 560ti handle 2 x 30in LCDs?

Right now I'm running a GTX 580 with a Samsung Syncmaster 305t+ and a Dell 24in LCD, but for a pile of reasons, I'm thinking about going back to my old 560ti. I'm also RMAing my second 305t+, so once that's back, I'll be running the two 305t+'s.

My question is, will the 560ti drive both the 30 inch displays? I do light CAD work (Sketchup mostly, but I'm branching into AutoCAD, Solidworks, and CATIA), and sparingly game. Running games at super high settings isn't important, but it certainly makes things more fun. Mostly I've got two dozen chrome windows open on one monitor, with a movie playing on the second screen. I like things as smooth as possible.

Eventually, I'll be getting a second video card (an identical 560ti) and running another 305t+, so if the 560 isn't going to work, I'm going to have to change my plans.

I was running 2x30" with an NVidia/9600GT for a while and for desktop and CAD use it was fine........

I've upgraded to a GTX460 1GB since then and to be honest it really doesn't make any difference for CAD/Desktop workloads. Gaming would be another matter entirely.

I would double check to make sure your 560TI supports 2 dual link DVI connections as not all of them do, but if it does you should be fine.
