Hey everyone!
So I recently got a new 42" LED TV and wanted to hook it up to my computer so that I could watch movies and what not on it. However, at the moment I realize I can only use 2 of the 3 ports on the HD5870 I currently have in my build. I do however have a 2nd HD5870 that I am planning on putting into a crossfire set-up. If I put them into a crossfire set-up would that allow me to have triple monitors? If not what would be my best bet to be able to use 3 or possibly 4 monitors in the future. My hope would be that I could run two monitors off of each card but I am not sure if that will work with them in crossfire.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I also have one more question/problem I have run into. I currently have a set-up with two speakers for playing games listening to music and what not through the normal speaker jack in the back of my computer. However I would like to have the sound of the movies playing on the 42" TV (Which is hooked up via the HDMI output) to play through the TV speakers not my separate computer speakers. I can't seem to get it figured out how to accomplish that if it is even possible. I hope I explained that in the correct way. If you need a better explanation please let me know.
