This has nothing to do with SLI. Multiple video cards are needed when more than two monitors are used. And they are fanless.

SLI (and AMD's Crossfire) link together multiple video cards... Which is what I would have to use if I wanted to access multiple cards in my own rig for rendering. So in the context of my comment, SLI is relevant.

Multiple video cards are not necessarily needed to run more than two displays, Eyefinity can feed up to six separate displays with a single card. Some NVIDIA cards support 3 (maybe more, with the new line) and while your card(s) may be fanless, the majority of discrete graphics cards are not.

The NVIDIA cards that can do this are all pretty expensive. Here's a link to AMD cards that support Eyefinity (3+ monitors) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...=-1&isNodeId=1

Yes. It would behave similarly to a dual-screen setup. The desktop would spread across all three, and when using Pro Tools you can arrange your mix/edit/plugin/MIDI windows however you wish. Here's a video of PT running on a 6-screen Eyefinity setup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGrp8m56HtI

I'm running a Matrox 9140 QUAD monitor card. PT in the control room across three of them, and the fourth cloned to the center (edit window) monitor and placed in the booth. It works flawlessly on everything EXCEPT...tah dah...WAVES Eddie Kramer Drum Channel would lock the computer. WAVES says "disable 2 of your 3 monitors." I says "Uh, no." At least when I surrendered the license I got my money back, which I used to buy a PLUG n Mix digital reverb. Odd that even the cheap plugins (that work exceedingly well) had no issue with the multi-monitor setup, but WAVES does.

Lock the computer how? As in freeze it, requiring a hard boot?

Did you encounter problems (like the gray GUI) with any other Waves plugins?

Yes. Spinning icon of death every time.

No. I don't use them. I don't like the WUP idea, and when I tried to make an exception it didn't work out. Doing fine without them, and have for years.

I've tried eyefinity and it won't work here. We have two sets of dual monitors that are cloned, Two over the console and two (cloned) at the MIDI station. and a third monitor for floating windows to the left of the main recording console. (5 in all)

Waves is the only developer that will not run perfectly on our system.
