it is very rare when i have to ask a question about hardware, but today i just have too.
can crossfire run dual monitors??
i know it is a well documented limitation of SLi, that it is unable to run more than one screen. but is the same true of crossfire?

I didn't know that, very handy feature. I may have to convert come time in the future.

No my personal expierence of this is that it doesnt always work I have to say mate.
Admittiably when I tried I think cataylst was on 6.4 so this could now be irrelavent.
Basically you could run dual screen, but when u tried running games in crossfire mode it just wasn't having any of it. Programs through a hissy fit.
If you do try it and it works could you let me know, as I have another x1900xt in my cupboard and am quite tempted to get another monitor.
Cheers
