I currently have one Asus HD 6850 and an Asus HD 5450.
I connect three monitors to the 6850 (two via DVI and one to displayport) and one monitor connected to the 5450 (for TV).
All four monitors are 27" acers.

I want to replace the 5450 with another 6850 to run in crossfire when i game, but still want to connect four monitors to it (three monitors to to the primary 6850, and one monitor to the 2nd 6850).

I know that if a monitor is connected to the second graphics card, it disables crossfire – which is fine when i'm watching TV.

But can Catalyst be used to enable/disable crossfire without rebooting?
For example,
Profile 1 (for gaming) enable crossfire and disable 4th monitor
Profile 2 (to watch TV), disable crossfire and enable all four monitors

I just want to make sure, that if i disable the 4th monitor, that Crossfire will be enabled for the other three monitors even though it's still physically conencted to the 2nd 6850 card.

Mobo is the Gigabye P67A UD4
