sishh i know that way before u and he did.
infact i tried it before he did.. with a 8800 ultra and hd2600XT..

i am talking about 9800gx2..
sishh
on 3870 crossfire u cannot do dual monitor on crossfire
on reference 3870x2 u cannot do dual monitor on crossfire
on any 8800gt/gtx/ultra/gts on sli u cannot do dual monitor

but...
on asus hd3870x2 with both gpu enabled in CC and on Crossfire u can do dual monitor.
so thats y i was hoping the 9800GX2 was possible..

sishh.

yup only on that asus card it is possible
also another flaw or nvidia 9800gx2..

u cannot on dreamscene when running on dual monitor
but ati hd3870x2 u can run it regardless whether on CF or not or on 1-4 monitors doesnt matter..

hahah moderno must be laughing
he had that like for a few months
and that time i told him gila price for some alu's

sishh must be laughing at me now.

hmm lets see whether we can forgive that limhongwoon
gee
w and l keys are quite far apart.. heck its a difference of usin my index left hand and index right hand as i type this..

so guess boy boy need to check his dictionary on how to spell LIZARD.

ah no its not a driver issue
my bad
just not happy with the 9800gx2
yeah gaming is fantastic
but this small things u know .. which made me love that asus hd3870x2 top
sishh damn dfi.

it applies to some cards only
reference hd3870x2 has no issue with foxconn p35 mars and dfi x38/x48

only this damn card
and dude this nothing to do with the x48/x38 chipeset
its a problem with their compatibility mode thingy ..

its a bios issue..

dude that bios is just a 45nm temp fix
i am in direct contact with dfi FAE and Asus FAE in taiwan
so trust me when i say i tried every option there is
i even manage to ask asus taiwan to lend dfi fae a 3870x2 top..
and dunno what happened but some mis communication in a loss email dfi thought they were not getting it
and ended up getting 2 3870x2 from ati.. DUMBASSES
told them from the beggining that the reference card works..
and luckily asus/dfi has been ccing me all their emails..
so i had a copy and forwarded it back to dfi fae for their contact window to open..

thats y.. so frust..
i hate this card the gx2.. only good in gaming fps.. boosting games that already high on fps..

that day when eric came to my house with his whole rig to test
when i saw the card work.. sishh never felt like want to cekik somebody as much as that..
