Alright. Here's my situation.

I have 3 monitors. I have two GTX 670's in SLI.

I run 3 EVE accounts, one on each monitor.

My question is, under SLI can I have my middle box run off one card, and the other two boxes run off the second card?

Do I have to disable SLI to do this? Is it possible to split the eve box's between different GPU's?


Thanks in advance.

if you want to do it most effectively, yes, breaking SLI would be the best option. if you want to run the middle screen off of the other card, then just leave the outside 2 plugged into one card and the middle one plugged into the other card.

Is that done by selecting the adapter in the EVE settings?

A friend of mine said it didnt work, it still all ran from the first card.

yes, you choose the adapter. and I'm not entirely sure how multi card setups work for processing so my suggestion would be to play around a bit. try with sli telling it to use certain adapters, or taking off the sli bridge, various things to see what happens. you learn the most from making mistakes and if you do this you'll probably learn more about how it works than if you were to get an answer here.

never had a SLI so...... all I know is that with a 3-way SLI you'll have 3 different cards sharing their ram, so 2Gb. In a 2-way SLI you have 1 single card sharing the ram, always 2Gb.

Breaking the SLI you'll have 2 rocking gtx670 not sharing nothing but the PCI-e bus ;)

You'll loose the surround option tho
