I have a hd5570 and an old x1900 AIW. I want to use the AIW card to play tv on my secondary monitor. Is this possible? Will i be able to say game and still change channels? With my current set-up i cant game and have a web browser open/functioning. Is there a way to make that work at least?
 
Yes, for a very long time i ran a GTX 260 and a 8600 GTS to be able to have 3 side-by-side monitors. I would game on the widescreen, surf web on the left screen, play video on the right screen. Both side monitors were powered by the smaller 8600 GTS card.
 
you ought to be able to run 2 monitors with 2 different video cards assuming you are using Windows 7 (not sure about other OS).
 
Right now i can't play say CS:S and be able to browse the web without the game minimizing. I assume with two separate vid cards i will be able to obtain this? Or is there a way with just one?
