I have brought 2 GT 610's and was wondering if I can run my dual monitors still if I install both of the graphics card and use a monitor on each one.

Orignally I was going to use SLI bridging until I realised they aren't compatible with SLI or Crossfire.

Will the above still work ?

No, you don't need a graphics card per monitor. The 610 is junk anyway i'd suggest returning both and getting one good one.

Some mega boggling stuff here, but yes if you bought even one of these cards you do need help.

Like srsly...

It's only a budget build. Hold up.

No, the system won't use one card per monitor it doesn't work that way.

Typically with Crossfire or SLI, the cards are connected either through bridges or XDMA through the PCIe slots, and then the cards will stagger rendering of frames. For example the top card; 1,3,5,7,9 and the bottom; 2,4,6,8,10.

No, even if you could the hardware isn't there that would make SLI possible.

So I how about using these 2 instead?

Sapphire AMD Radeon 5450.
