DCS multi minotor support and SLI

[verpa]

So I know that DCS support multiple monitors, unfortunately they way that it is currently set up cripples my frame rate on my current video card. So i was wondering if anyone has any experience using SLI or crossfire with multiple monitors and DCS.

 

Here is my current card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161235

 

 

 

 

 

Totally unrelated question: How the heck do I pick what my helicopter looks like, or change the load out? is it only possible to do this by creating a mission?

Crossfire cards will run two monitors in BS, however, if you have two crossfire cards installed you cannot switch crossfire mode on thus giving you no options to better improve AA etc.

 

I have two 1950's both are plugged in and connected to each other, however, my second monitor is connected to the primary card as such the secondary card is passive, so, you would be better off with just one good crossfire card as both monitors connect to it.

Is this multi monitor framerate problem on the NVIDIA cards an issue as well? I am ready to order a video card for my corei7 system and I don't want this to be an issue.

I actually think it is a vista issue. But someone with more knowledge could clarify.
