A buddy of mine at work were thinking about this because he is trying to figure out the best way to switch back and forth between a 5840 and GTX 4870 without constantly uninstalling one brand of drivers in order to install the other brand of drivers when switching back and forth between cards. I will explain further.
1. When he wants to use the 5850 he would install that card and only have hdd #1 hooked up.
2. When he wants to then use the GTX 470 he would shut down his pc, take out the 5850 and install the GTX 470 and switch the sata cable over to hdd #2 (the other hdd).
