Hi. I currently have a WC'd 8800gt in my system, and I'm getting a 4890 tomorrow. Problem is, i don't want to watercool this card, and I don't want to take my wc setup apart until I replace the CPU next month. Can you have both the ATI and Nvidia running in the same system, or do I have to take the Nvidia out and just leave it in the case till I take the loop apart?
 
If you have Windows XP, you can run both nVidia and ATi cards at the same time.

If you have Vista, you cannot run both at the same time, no matter what you do - many people have tried many things with no reported success, so don't even try.

Microsoft intends that Win7 will allow both at the same time, but it wasn't working yet in at least the first publicly available beta.

QFT, that's what I've heard as well.
