4890 and 8400GS in same system

[masscrazy]

Trying to get 4890 and 8400gs working together, but got BSOD on install of the nvidia drivers.

Trying to add extra monitors to my setup, bought 8400gs b grade stock from ocuk and was told both should work fine (being two different cards ati/nvidia) but they dont.

Anyone done this, any ideas of how to get it to work?

I believe it is possible using old versions of drivers(257.15 drivers for the nvidia card) and up to date ones for the ati card, but that was only for taking advantage of physx, but cant see how it wouldnt work presuming that this work around is even stable.

Here is a forum discussing that, also im unsure it it will support you running multiple monitors as i havent researched it that much just skimmed over some infor bit tired soz.#

Thanks, i've already gone through those. Not sure, might just keep the card it was only 15 and buy the 5450.
