I'm running an 8800gtx and I use Maya quite a bit. there is a well known problem with the 8800gtx and maya where there are display issues in the 3d viewport. i use dual monitors and the only way to get maya to work properly is to go to the nVidia control panel and set the 8800gtx for single display mode instead of multi-display mode. my 2nd monitor still works but i get no openGL acceleration on it. so a lot of things i do in maya I can't have them on my second monitor because of this.
so, as a solution i was looking at getting a second video card for cheap just to drive the second monitor, either a PCI-E x16 or a just a PCI card. I was looking at this card

do you think that'll work? are there other issues that could crop up elsewhere by having 2 video cards?
