Nvidia SLI doesn't support dual screen

A BOSNIAN GAMER friend owner of a SLI setup asked me a very interesting question that I tried to investigate and resolve with Nvidia. He suggested that he couldn't have SLI enabled and have dual screen mode operating at the same time.

It's very simple - as soon as you turn SLI you will lose dual screen mode and your second screen will shut off instantly.

We asked Nvidia but it never got back to us officially so we tried it ourselves with two 6600GTs and I learned that you cannot use SLI and two displays at the same time, at least not with the current drivers.

Some gamers actually like to have chat application or some other stuff on second display but with SLI you just cannot get you second display in use while you are playing the game. Some like to chat when they got shot in the game while waiting for the new game to start.

As soon as you turn the SLI mode off, you second display will instantly start. We hope that next driver can resolve this but we are not sure we hope that Nvidia will respond this time. µ
