Radeon + nVidia, same box?

This could be a strange question, but i recently went triple screen using SoftTH and have my old 9600GT card as the secondary card for the other two monitors. I just let Win7 automatically detect and it and get it running and has worked perfect so far for gaming. My primary is a 1GB 6870.

I did not expect this, but F@H instantly picked up on the second card and tried to start a new WU on it, but it can't use it because i don't have the drivers installed for it. Actually, it specifically complains that nvcuda.dll is missing.

Long story, but does anyone know if i could get away with installing the nvidia drivers to get it to fold properly? Will this just wreak havoc on my machine? Will i just end up with my own personal UFC death match taking place inside my box? I'd rather know from somebody who may have tried it than be a guinea pig. Thanks!

It should work fine

It will work fine with Windows 7. It wouldn't work if you had Vista, because it used the initial implementation of WDDM, which only allowed one type of video driver at a time. So, Nvidia OR ATI, not both. Couldn't do ATI with hacked PHSYX drivers to have ATI for 3d and an nvidia card for physx. Works in windows 7 though, I've done it.

Perfect. Thanks for the responses. I'm a big geek anyway and can't help but mess with a perfectly running rig, so i went ahead and tried it anyway before i even came back here to see if anyone replied. Running great! Didn't know about the Physx thing... i'll need to look into that! Thanks!
