So happy together.....

I've got a rig that I need to attach a pair of 2007FP's to, but the problem is it only has an AIW9800Pro. It's not anything I want to invest cash in, so going to just grab a cheap PCI card. My question is probably a stupid one, but I've never really tried it before. Would I run into any driver conflicts if I used something like an FX5200? Would I be better off grabbing something else in the Radeon family that could use the same catalyst drivers?

It's just a temp setup for a presentation. When I actually put these things to use, they'll be running on a dually.

Nvidia and ATI drivers tend to not play well with eachother. You might be able to get it workin, but I'd suggest just find an ATI card. It'll probably save you headache.

I've done it and have not had any problems, in fact it works better than two ATi cards from different series together.

I was kind of inclined to thinking in the same direction, becuase I thought the "same line" cards my try to pull from the same resources so to speak; whereas different brand cards may operate more independantly of each other.

Anyone running this way now?

Driver cleaner pro will take care of any driver issues. I just swapped from an ATI to an Nvidia, no problem.

I've had mixed experiences with driver cleaner, and there usually isn't much benefit. I would say use it at your own risk.

My question though is about co-habitation, and having two cards in one machine.
