this was my day yesterday. basically all i wanted to do was have a 3 monitor display, i talked to milkman and genjix about it and they gave me options:
*get a displayport( since you cannot connect 2 dvi and hdmi using 1 video card regardless how baller the model is) genjix
*get a 2nd cheap video card ( ez solution by milkman)

so im like great. ill take option 1 first and try what genjix recommended, just an adapter sounds cheap then i find out:

*my video card has a connector for display ports (YAY)
*my monitors dont support it (AKLGSKJDGKLASDH)
*adapters are expensive, only sold in the U.S. ------> not 100% sure itll work on asian branded monitors, kinda like 60/40 flip

after hours of trying to find a workaround in google, i finally think " screw this, ill go for the ez cheap 2nd card alternative" so i go with the milkman route (no pun intended) then find this gem out:

*my first card, a radeon hd5700, is so fucking huge, that the 2nd pci slot could not fit any other card known to man, but fits for ANOTHER 200usd radeon hd5700 (thx radeon, fuck you seriously)
*so in all my nerdrage, i decided i just buy another after 1 hour of trying to fit that shit 2nd card in (almost tilted and just fucking push it hard and wreck the pci slot and card lol) i go back to my parts supplier like 5min drive away and buy that 2nd card anyway
* i rush home, get started, find out that out of the million screwdrivers i had, the one i needed got lost, even tried those changable screwdriver heads coz the handle got lost and used my fingers which was quite pleasant, then keys and knives (LOL)
*finally got tokeweed to come over and borrow his screwdriver, but after an hour i finally managed to use my bare hands and get all screws done lol

so i fire the computer up finally and the 3rd display had it moments and did not display which almost had me throwing stuff at this point, but eventually it did.
now i realized, i had an SLI mobo capable of doing crossfire, an app that lets u use the performance of the two cards together to give you basically twice the power and maximize the 500 dollar investment on goddam video cards when i only play starcraft lol. i had a hard time getting crossfire to detect both, since the vendor didnt tell me i needed to connect like a bridge that came in the box (TY again)

now that everythigns done, i see that 3rd monitor cannot be used in crossfire apps since crossfire is only for 2 monitors,

, i just shrug since ive been running so bad it just felt like another aa vs set on a dry board against a nit. i did not play poker the whole day and was just happy its all over. ty for reading. its been a fun day

one more thing, HAS ANY HUMAN IN THIS PLANET EVER BEAT JUST 1 QUICK GAME VS THE COMP(ROOKIE) IN NBA2K10? THAT SHIT'S SO IMPOSSIBLE IVE BEEN TILTING HARD PAST FEW DAYS
