The only SLI down side I can see

So far the only down side I can see in the whole Sli Issue is that it is almost impossible to get a straight answer when I ask can it support up to four monitors Baucus I think it is theoretically possible and she be doable but not Asus Gigabyte or BFG have been able to give me a good response can anyone help me please.
 
I am pretty sure that you can as long as you do not enable SLI. Once you enable SLI the second card's outputs will no longer function. Windows (via nVidia's drivers) will tell you this stating that you will notice that any display connected to the second card will go blank.
 
AFAIK, it is possible, but you cannot run the cards in SLI. Each card would be seperate (like haing an AGP card and PCI card), and each would run two monitors each.
 
I really do think that is a rip off I mean the whole porpuse of sli is the speed and power and it has the out put but I am sure that there has to be a way to have sli and the multi view

and thanx

No, they really don't have the outputs.. They are physically located on the cards, but the two cards are linked internally, bypassing the outputs on the second card. Each card is only rendering roughly half the image, so it makes sense that you can not use the outputs on both cards simultaneoulsy when using SLI. Theoretically, nVida could produce a "slave" card that doesn't have any outputs and it could still function as an SLI card, but that really wouldn't make any sense costwise to produce such a card, since it would be useless when not in SLI. With SLI, you can't think if the second card as a whole video card, but rather additional core/memory that splits the work with the video card.
