2 nvidia GPUs running monitors seamlessly?
I remember struggling with this a lot in about 2002 when GPUs often only had one output, however I find myself in a similar boat once again. I want to run two DisplayPort monitors.
Before I invest in a second monitor or GPU, will it work? I currently have a 750Ti running one screen, this GPU cannot do SLI if it makes any difference, if I got another one + another monitor is the nvidia driver capable of running a screen on each that acts like two normal screens (being able to drag a window between them, have a window span across them... I remember this was difficult in the past)
I expect this would be much more difficult with an AMD or Intel GPU mixed with an nvidia one?

Re: 2 nvidia GPUs running monitors seamlessly?
I don't have the hardware yet, I was hoping to find out whether it's possible before deciding whether to invest in it as I know it used to be problematic. More than likely it was solved 10 years ago but I'd just like confirmation

Newer devices are more likely to work better than older. You may have to use nvidia-xxxxx from repos or bumblebee something of this nature.
