I have my 6970 2g for eyefinity and I would like to have another monitor or 2 for gauges and gps in FSX, so will both cards work for this NOT IN CROSSFIRE i know. I also have another acitve adapter for 4 montiors on my 6970 can i run all four, 3 for ifinity and one for guages and gps?

If they both run off the same driver version, it should work.

Trouble comes when you want to run "legacy" hardware with newer stuff.

Thank you for responding so fast. Just one more question, I have a 700w psu, will this be enough for both cards?

I doubt it, I have one 5870 E6, and was thinking about getting a 2nd card, when looking up on the AMD web site, they recommended I get a 1200 Watt PSU, seemed a bit over kill, but you'd think they know what they are recommending...
I doubt 700 Watt would work for you, you'll probably need 850, or 1000 Watt.

I've got an HD6970 running at 1.3v wit 980mhz OC'ed. and a C2DE8400 @1.35V 4ghz. If i use Prime95 and Furmark i get 500Watt power consumption! When Playing Crysis it's 350 watt!

The maximum consumption for a 5850 is 170Watt. So you might just make it with a 700W PSU, depending on your CPU.

You could try it out, and buy a better PSU if it's now working perfect.... or are there any chances of damaging a GPU if it doenst get enough Power?
