Noob question about sli

[megjake101]

Im would say I have an above average knowledge about computers. That being said, my question is, if you have multiple monitors in a sli config, can you plug all of them in to one graphics card, or would it be better if you gave each monitor its own graphics card. Can you run muli card configs without sli?

You must plug them all into the top a single card with SLI enabled. 

 

You can run multiple cards outside of SLI, but it will only use a single card in games. In other programs, like rendering, two cards outside of SLI can be used at the same time.

it shouldnt matter if they are all in sli and yes you can run them without sli

IF in sli 

all monitors get plugged into one gpu.

if you are using surround you can plug them into different cards I think. 

 

but for gaming on one monitor you probably want to put them all on one card
