    Hello I was wondering I have a video setup as crossfire and I have just one monitor set up plugged into the DVI-I port on the top card. I want to add another monitor and I was wondering if I can plug onother DVI-D cable into the bottom card. Or if I need to get a VGA cable and plug it into the same card the other monitor is plugged into? I didn't want to waste money buying the cable so I thought I would ask you Geniuses out there.( that was the part that I suck up to you guys for an answer) hehe

    Thanks
    King

    You can have output from all four ports at once. Why do you think they make 4870x2's with 4 DVI ports?

    I should have mentioned in the orignal post I am running 2 Radeon X1650's. They have 1 DVI each 1 VGA each and 1 TV out S-Video each.
    So will that be the same on that card I can use all 6 connections 2DVI, 2VGA, 2S-video at once?

    As I remember it, the 1650 only supports two outputs per card (or at least the one I had did). The S-video output dissabled the second monitor output. Still, you have 4 possible outputs.
