Nvidia + ATI GPU2 client at the same time

[SnoopyLizard]

Hi

Is it possible to run the ATI and Nvidia GPU2 client at the same time?

I'm after a three monitor set up, currently I have a HD 4850 installed with two monitors attached, for a third display I obviously need another graphics card. Since used 8800GTs are so cheap, I could get one of them to run the third monitor and fold at the same time, if it's possible.

Thanks!

BTW, running windows Vista HP x64.

It's problematic at this time, I wouldn't run them together.

Read this thread: nVidia-client without ATI-WUs ?

You could get the NVIDIA card and run it alone for better PPD than your getting with the ATI card alone. Though, I believe you would need to make the NVIDIA card the primary card.

Would I still be able to game using the HD 4850 if I make the NV primary?

Games will default to the primary card - the first available display. Some may have a way of being moved to another display, but I wouldn't rely on it.

Hmm, slightly disappointing but I got a better plan. I'll buy a 8800GT for the media PC and swap it's HD 3450 to power the third monitor, problem sorted

Thanks for the help.
