Is this a duel video card setup? (I asked this, but I got two opposite answers) :p?

Gainward BLISS 7900GS nVidia GeForce 7900 GS 512MB PCI-Express Video Card with Dual DVI & TV-Out



I know I asked this question already, but I got two contrasting answers last time.|||Dual video card setups are with extreme gaming computers such as Alienware ALX or Dell XPS. It consists of two cards linked up by a joining hardware. Yours is a single card with two DVI and TV-Out ports.|||"Dual" could mean dual monitor setup in one card... or dual graphic card setup, Aka SLI where you pop 2 video cards in the motherboard to make one monster out of the 2..|||Gainward BLISS 7900GS nVidia GeForce 7900 GS 512MB has Dual link DVI support and is - SLI ready – Delivering upto 2x the performance with two cards.



Many people are mixing up Dual-Link and Dual-DVI.



Dual DVI means that there are two DVI connectors on your graphics card. Each of these connector might be Dual-Link or not. Explained with plain words, the single-link DVI connection can carry enough information to build a 1920x1080 pixels image at 60hz. Dual-link DVI doubles the bandwidth and therefore allows a 2560x1600 image to be send from the computer at a frequency of 60hz (or 60 images per seconds).



A single dual-link DVI connector is required to use the maximum resolution of this screen. If a dual-link is not present, a 1280x1024 pixels image will be displayed. Make sure that you connect the monitor on the proper DVI connector as most dual-link cards have two DVI connectors, one of which is not dual-link capable. Note that it is possible to get a dual-dual-Link graphics card capable of driving two Dell 3007WFP monitors.



See the Instructional Video on this page to see an example of dual card connection.
