Hi all,
This is a question out of curiosity more than an necessity, but I was wondering whether it is possible to have 2 different GPU's running in one machine. I read a lot that people using 2 of the same card will use one for GUI and the other for GPU.
I already own a Sapphire HD 6870 which is recognized and runs perfectly with 3+ monitor support. However I am looking to upgrade to an R9 290x, but read that they do not support multi monitors. So would I be able to install the 290x and plug that into my gaming monitor and let the HD 6870 run the other 2? Or would this not be feasible with different frame buffers being needed for the different cards?
Thanks.
