2 graphics cards

[J273]

I'm currently running a dual monitor setup on an 8800gt.

Ive got a 3rd monitor i want to add,The only other card i have is a 6600gt.


I don't want to hamper the performance of my 8800gt and wondered if the 6600gt alongside would it downgrade the 8800gt to the 6600gts performance



Thanks

I take it you mean in SLI, and unfortunately unlike Crossfire where same gen cards can be paired, SLI needs both cards to be the same model

Sorry ,no should have said that .

No not in SLI...like running an agp card alongside a PCI but in this case both are pcie

Thanks

Give it a try and tell us all!

Please?

I imagine it should be fine if you dont try out sli (as it should be able to cope with the extra card for the screen)

A quick question i was wondering was that if it does work and you disabled the 8800gt in device manager would the power supply be cut of (/saved) to the disabled card?
Just wondering if i could put in a low power card and not have to have the 8800 eating the watts when not needed.
