Should be OK so long as it's NOT a 3rd-party card. You don't want it to be anything other than *genuine* ATI to use in a multi-card setup.... no HIS, Sapphire, Best or any other 3rd party maker. You don't want the box to say *powered by ATI/Radeon*.... 3rd party card driver issues can be a real mess in multi-card.
kowboy and gnome, would I be better off just getting a new quad head card? I run LCD's (Dell, not HD). Seems like I could end up spending money on another PCI card and still not have it work right. Thanks.
A quad is going to be very expensive unless you get one used off of eBay. Adding a card is not a problem so long as you avoid known troubles. I'm currently running 3 cards + TV tuner. I've run 4 cards before too.
i bot a computer with a built in ATI X300... I ran it successfully with my dual head nvidia 5200 PCI before for a total of 3 screens. then I bot another PCIe nvidia 6600gt to fill the gap & had the onboard ATI turned off... so it is possible to run two different brand of video cards together.
you didnt look hard enough http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102403 $120? that's the price i paid for a 6600gt PCIe
What if I just swap out and get 2 Nvidia cards? It's either that or I have to get a new MB with PCI Express slots. This is a real cluster f***
my mistake... i didnt know newegg sell mac stuff... anyway... this is where you should change your brand loyalty.
