Hey everyone.
Just a quick question my system is a few years old now and I would like to add a second monitor to my setup. I have 2 AMD 6870's in crossfire I just wanted to know what port do I plug the second monitor into or what card for that matter? Also would I have to do any additional tweaks to get it to work or should it just work when I plug it in?

I know there are 2 DVI ports on each card and I think 1-2 HDMIs. (My current monitor is using the first DVI port on the top card)

Thanks
 
Alright so my monitor came in. Only to find out my graphics card(the main one in my crossfire setup) does not have an HDMI port but 2 Display Ports.
Would I be able to use the DVI-D port on the back if the DVI-I port is occupied by the first monitor?
