   Mixing nVidia & ATI
  Hey guys, I currently have a Geforce MX440 (AGP), and am looking to upgrade to tri-monitor setup.  I was looking around and found another mx440 (PCI) for $59... I then found out that I could get an ATI radeon 9000 (PCI) for $55, and it had support for some features that my mx doesnt.  Which would be nice for testing my games...  Also, it has pixel shader support, which I can not use on the MX440.  My big question is, if I get the ATI, will both cards work together?  Or will the drivers clash and the result not be pretty?P.S.  If you have a better option, let me know, it must be under the limit of $60...  Also, I would really love some pixel shader support Thanks   My home page!!!Find out about my diy LCD projector and programming projects!
  Unless you''re planning on installing both videocards into the same agp slot, you shouldn''t have any problems.Multi-monitor systems dont rely on videocard compatability, so theoretically, you could use any card you wanted.;  Ok, I probobly wont be able to use nvidia''s nice nview software though will I?Anyway, that isnt that big of a deal, I''ll probobly just get the ATI.Thank you   My home page!!!Find out about my diy LCD projector and programming projects!;  I doubt you''ll get 3D acceleration out of all of them at once, but they should work if all you need is a bigger desktop, assuming there aren''t any random hardware conflicts.  ;  1. Buy a cheap bottle of wine.2. Drink all the wine, or pour it out, as you see fit.3. Fill the bottle about 1/3 with gasoline.4. Stuff a gas-soaked rag into the neck of the bottle.5. Travel to a store which sells video cards. Conceal the bottle.6. Stand near the video cards.7. When nobody is looking, light the rag.8. Throw the bottle with all your strength at a distant wall.9. Select the choicest video card and tuck it under your shirt.10. Flee from the store, screaming wildly.

If you bargain hunt a bit, you should be able to accomplish this well under $30.   PiQ Software  -  Tiny KeyCounter  -  Freon 2/7 Raytracing Accelerator;  Well, I just wnet ahead and got the card.  I''ve been really eager to get the tri-monitor setup and am looking forward to finally having pixel shaders and more than 2 texture passes to mess with Thanks for the conformation that they should work together... Its too bad that they probobly wont be both accelerated at the same time...   My home page!!!Find out about my diy LCD projector and programming projects!
