Running 2 graphic cards?

[Dasana]

I just got a motherboard with 2 PCI Express slots. Running an 8600GT right now. But I've been eyeing the Radeon X1300 sitting there gathering dust. Not sure how well this would work in Win7 since it's 2 completely different chipsets.

I wont work as far as i can remember. you cannot put an Nvidia card and an ATI card in the same box, your best bet would be to get rid of your lower spec card and change it for the correct chipset, so you are running both Nvidia or ATi

Correct. You run into a problem when choosing a GPU driver.

I've actually heard mixed things about it. Might as well do some research and try it out/let us know.

i just got the 4850x2 a day or so ago, and i tell ya, im remembering why i stuck with nvidia for all those years. running windows 7 only 1 of the 2 gpu's is loading up, the other one is at 0 activity (according to the catlyst prog the 4 client is running on core 1, and the single on core 2) but only core 2 is seeing activity of around 48% or so, and the other core at 0. went to av with the new setup and it was damn near unplayable, i was getting better response with the single 8800gt 512, and the new card has 4x the ram on it. i'm pretty sure i'm gonna RMA it and swap it for the BFG gtx280 oc edition (jst 20$ more) unless something big changes and both cores start loading up, the confusing thing about this card is the 4x dvi plugs, ive tried plugs 1 and 2, 1 and 3, all combo's seem to give the same result (crossfireX is OFF) with it on, only 1 display works no matter what. i seen in the help where it had that i could span horizontally onto the other display, but i could never get that option, the one time it did show, i clicked it and my pc turned off (never had that hap b4) so far, not happy with the card, i'll stop my rant, lolZ

Same as the thread in the Softwsre Forum. Use Window 7 or Innerspace. They both are known to work with the multi-GPU setups
