Well it has dual, dual-link DVI ports so it should be fine.

Hikari is right, and anyways you cannot run in Sli with dual monitors.

The 7900GT,7900GTX, 7950GX2 and 7950GT all have 2xDual Link DVI. So all four will run 2 30 Inches fine. However, unless your going to be gaming a ton, you would be better off with either GT or GTX than the GX2. Not to mention, when using 2 monitors I am pretty sure you can't turn on the 2nd core of the GX2. This would mean your be stuck with essentially a super expensive 7950GT. Of the four cards I mentioned, and since you already were willing to spend money for a GX2, I would go with a 7900GTX as it is the quietest of the bunch.

8 Megapixels of desktop space is kinda scary though, but in a good way.

Thanks for this info, I thought since it had 2 GPU it can power both monitors

Is my other option is to buy 2 cards if I want bother moniters powered at full speed
