[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1820499, member: 56379"] Awesome...great to hear it!:) If you purchased a true Apple Radeon 5870 video card...it should have one full sized DVI connector and two mini-display ports...like this: [ATTACH=FULL]29839[/ATTACH] I wouldn't think that you would need any additional cable/adapter...unless of course your trying to run multiple monitors from the same video card...or the monitors you're using don't have out-of-the-box compatible ports with the card. I'm sure you can run at least two monitors from the 5870...and they could be any combination of two of the existing ports/connectors on the card.:) [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Not sure how much you know about this topic...here's an article that sorta-kinda explains things::) [URL="https://techguided.com/sli-vs-crossfire-is-it-worth-it/"]SLI vs CrossFire: Are Multi-GPU Setups Worth it in 2019?[/URL] - Nick [/QUOTE]
