...using the iZ3D monitor with a GeForce SLI config? I'm gonna be buying an 8800 GT this weekend, and if the price is right, and it'll work, I may buy 2.
Tx
Has anyone tried...

But why should one enable Stereo on two outputs? Isn't it ok to use the second card just to render and the first card for the hardware output. Or is the second card inactive then?
------------------------
I have another question:
What about a dual monitor setup for working?
I though of buying the iZ3d Monitor and hook it up to my first card. But now both ports are used.
Can i add a second (SLI) card to use a second monitor for my windowsdesktop when I'm working in Photoshop?

That is exactly what BlackQ from iZ3D was complaining about. That Nvidia turns off all but one output in SLI setups.
For that reason you can't use the iZ3D monitor or other solutions like dual projector setup with SLI.
I haven't tested it myself, but I guess BlackQ wouldn't say it if they didn't test it before.

With all my respect to these two nice companies I have absolutely no idea why they did it. I heard some rumors and even read some docs that nVidia will support two outputs for SLI, but reality is stronger than rumors
