Of course... no idea whether this means that you can utilize SLI on one monitor while your other monitor(s) stay active.... or whether it will do what the TH2Go does.... but in drivers.

Here's hoping it is the latter..... :D

So the TH2Go may become obsolete?

Hold on. You'll finally be able to use all (?) video outputs of an SLI setup, like you can use both outputs of a single card. So you'll be able to run a 3D game on a screen, and not have other monitors go blank while you play. Other than that, no evidence of "TripleHead capabilities" for SLI setups...

Actually, I'd state that there is no evidence at all in any direction what they mean by this until it's out. It's not good to make assumtions in any direction.

Didn't we have this exact same thread a few weeks ago? It just means you'll finally be able to have SLI on and not have to turn off output to your other monitors.

I didn't see another thread on this....

As an aside... I wonder how this all might effect SoftTH. Currently you cannot use SLI with that product... wonder if this might change that....

I don't think so. SLI is like using several cards to make a more powerful one. SoftTH still needs two separate cards, used for different tasks afaik. This Big Bang 2 thing won't change nothing to that.

I think it was an ATI thread, I know we have had this discussion at least once possibly more. Nothing new... yet. I aint hoping high.

I think right now it's mostly speculation.

For all we know it could just mean that the multiple outputs work in desktop till you start a 3d game, so you don't have to lose real-estate while not gaming.

When's that v180 supposed to be released anyways?

As an aside, that is not true.

SoftTH works with SLI.

I currently run SoftTH using two 8800GTX cards in SLI, and my side monitors connected to a 8400GS.

It involves a trick... you turn off the hardware profile of the 8400GS, then set the 8800GTX cards in SLI, then reenable the 8400GS, and voila. There's a guide at nvidia zone here: http://forums.slizone.com/index.php?showtopic=14989

NOTE: You must create an account there to read the guide.
