I currently built my hackint0sh for OS X compatibility and therefor made the choice to pick up an 6870 however lets say I'd want to pack some real gaming performance into the same rig (i7 2600k and 16GB ram otherwise so it's pretty speedy) so I don't need to have one OS X rig and one gaming rig could I simply put the two 6990 with the CF bridge into the same system and ignore them under OS X and use the 6870 there and only use them under Windows?
I guess the real question is would it affect the system at all to just have those two cards sitting there in OS X?
I mean all monitors got both VGA, DVI, DP or/and HDMI so I could just connect the monitors to both cards on different inputs. It's much neater to have one multipurpose machine then one machine for most stuff and one only for gaming however it would be to much of a pain to insert the cards every time I want to play some games and remove them when I'm done.
