Question about dual graphics cards.

[gageanator24]

Hi so I'm buying a computer with dual Gigabyte Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB Video Cards. I have two monitors with DVI-D inputs. And since the video cards only have HDMI and dvi. I was wondering since there is two if I could have dual monitors with dual graphics cards with One output on the two separate cards. Does that make sense?

Why to do dual monitors? You could put 2 dvi's in the 2 monitors with one card but make them work in Crossfire

That is possible, but Crossfire will not work.

The 7970 has two Mini Displayports which I highly recommend using, as Displayport can be adapted to any input. I recommend purchasing two Mini Displayport to DVI-D cables so you are able to plug both monitors into one graphics card and keep Crossfire enabled, which will greatly help game performance.

Here is a Mini Displayport to DVI-D adapter cable from Amazon: http://goo.gl/sW0C5l
