I would like to know how do link two video cards to one monitor with these specific parts

Newegg.com - MSI K9A2 Platinum AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards

Newegg.com - EVGA 512-P3-N841-AR GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello Josh,

I believe you are asking for is using SLI mode.

What SLI does is use two video cards you install into the PCI-E x16 slots as one. there is a little SLI bridge that comes with the mother board. you install the cards then put the bridge in the notches on top. very easy to install.

I would recommend using a different motherboard though because that board you have is made for ATI cards and you have picked a Nvidia card.

With all due respect joeyfine, your statement that the AMD board 'is made for' ATI cards appears to be incorrect. While it is true that SLI is an nVidia protocol and Crossfire is an ATI protocol, the board will work fine with either brand card as long as the cards support SLI or Crossfire respectively.

Apparently there is a current belief that since AMD now owns ATI, there is some unwritten requirement to use ATI cards with AMD boards. This belief is unfounded, based on some phone calls I've just made to the manufacturers's Tech Support.

This has been a great help, I have a great build to buy and i need as much info as i can get and you guys are still the best. Just hook up the cards with the SLI cables it comes with and install the bridge to the mother board. But one thing i dont see were i install the bridge lol.

thats perfect then. Thank you guys for a quick response, and im sure i wont have a problem setting this up now.
