SLI Question

Hello

I have 2 GTX 760s that I'm getting for a great deal. I also have 2 monitors. If I plug each monitor into each graphics card, will my gaming experience still yield the results of a "normal" SLI? Is the SLI only effective if a monitor is linked to 1 GPU?

CPU: i7 2600k @4.2GHz GPU: GTX 660 Power Supply: EVGA SupernovaNEX 750W 80+ Bronze RAM: 32GB G. Skill Ripjaws X

SLI wil disable the monitor outputs of the second 760. But you can connect both monitors to the first 760 without problems.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Normally the top card is the primary.

Top as in : Seated in the PCI-e slot closest to the cpu

 

Is there a specific way to differentiate the "first" and "second" card?

If you run both monitors in surround, you can use certain output ports on the second card.
