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?

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
