You can plug 3 monitors in 1 GFX card. One screen needs to be display port, or you need a really expensive adapter.

[durtX]

do a search on the start menu, and then type dxdiag.. it will show you the information about your Direct X..

[froggy]

Wow, DX 11 really makes a huge difference in games.

[daralinn]

NVIDIA showed a demo card at CES runing Physx and DX11 benchmark plus some other stuff, so they WILL have DX 11

[DanielWW]

It won't be cheap knowing NVIDIA so I get either an 5770 or an 5850.

[Zeddd]

@slicknickxp Open your start menu and in the search feature type in dxdiag. Only one option should pop-up called "dxdiag.exe" click it.

If you have windows 7 you should have dx11... it's another thing if your gpu supports it though.

[PatrickBateman-]

You have to crossfire the same video cards to crossfire?

[donnei]

@Nyy8cp
how are 2 4870x2 4
u mean 4 cores and yes it can.

[CoOkiEzWithDaCreAm]

I don't believe so at the moment. I think Nvidia is making new cards with DX11 though.

[nikosyv]

i have a 4770 and dx11 installed, and dirt 2 looks fucking amazing. Whether it is dx11 or dx 10.1 i can't say, but you Can install it on a 4000 card

[Gamespieler]

Take DX11 more performance of my card than DX10?

[DanielWW]

It is DX 10.1 DX11 isn´t supported by the 4000 series cards. You can DX11 installed but it won´t work.

[DanielWW]

Like tessellation with has to be the biggest improvement in DX 11. I want my 5xxx.
NVIDIA please release Fermi so I can buy an ATi 5xxx card for less money (I hope)

[sandiegoborn]

So I can run two 5670's in Crossfire, but they don't have to be from the same vendor/brand?

Can I do the same with two 9800 GT's? Like one 9800 GT can be from PNY, and the other can be from XFX? Will it work even though they're not from the same brand, but they are the same model GPU?

[hootis]
