I am in the process of building a new rig, and am doing my research on new video cards to put in it. The general consensus seems to be that the new 4870 is the way to go as far as "high end" cards are concerned. So here is my question:
I was previously running 2 nvidia 7800 GT's across a dual monitor setup, and I am planning on bringing one of them with me to my new build so I can support 3 monitors, since I am considering purchasing a third monitor sometime in the future. The question is will I run into a problem running 1 ATI card, and one Nvidia card in the same machine? I know it can be done when you run the cards on different bus's (like one on PCI E and one on regular PCI), but I dont know what would happen if I had both running on PCI E.
Anyone got any advice?
