At least thats what they were all harping about on the EVGA forums in the GTX200 section.

WHAT :o

Obviously, they don't work for me. ;__;

I see a big difference with sli but I turn up the eye candy in games.

To sum up the new BETA 180.24 drivers, here are its four key highlights

• Performance Improvements for Far Cry 2 (available from the beta release)
• SLI support on Intel X58 motherboards (available from the beta release)
• Dedicated GPU for PhysX (available upon official driver release)
• SLI Multi-Monitor support (available upon official driver release)

So it remains to be seen IMHO if the actual official driver will support dual monitor or PhysX within SLI. It's been a long time coming and a bitter disappointment going back to 7000 series.

Hmm maybe the 180.44 Beta has it...

I'm probably incorrect, but I was under the assumption that you couldn't drive four displays with SLI?

Well, previously, you couldn't have more than 1 monitor with sli enabled. I wouldn't be surprised if even now, with multimonitor support, it's still limited to 2 cards normally, like crossfire normally is.
