Is SLI possible with 4 monitors and one screen?
Last night I was experimenting with SLI. I have a 4 monitor setup with two GTX titan (1st iteration).
Just straight up enabling it through the xorg.config results in disabling all other screens. except my primary screen.
I tried to dig a little deeper and read about Mosaic mode. Which seems to be the only way to run multiple monitors across two or more graphic cards.
But there is very little information on how to actually set it up.
I have also read that nvidia has put a limit of max three monitors running with Mosaic.
If anyone is running a similar setup I would be very grateful for some tips on how to best set it up. If its even possible.

Re: Is SLI possible with 4 monitors and one screen?
For the reasons you've stated, it's not possible. You can't use SLI unless you have identical Quadro cards and you're limited to 1 monitor. Three monitors if you're just powering monitors. Linux only makes up between 1.3% and 1.5% of OS use, so Nvidia doesn't really see the need to give us that much support.

Thats sad. I have the first generation of titans and I've read somewhere that they are identified as Quadro but I am not 100% sure.
Still with four monitors I'm out of luck either way.
Anyway, thank you for your reply.

I'm not sure, I haven't tried it, but you might be able to power two monitors per card.
