can I do this?

Hi,

I have (a now ageing, but good enough for me) HIS 3870*2 which has 2 monitor outputs but as it's only 1 card I can't separately calibrate the 2 monitors - with a Spyder 2.

I do have an older pci-e card, can I add this but not use it in sli or pair it with the HIs card.

I want just to use it to drive 1 monitor and then profile it for use in Photoshop/Lightroom and thus have both monitors calibrated.

I know Mac's can separately profile monitors on the same graphics card but that this is not possible under windows.

In a nutshell can I run mismatched cards not paired or for performance reasons? And what are the pitfalls if any.

if its another ati card should be fine.

have you had a look at ultramon to see if that will help you do what you need ?

Sadly it's an Nvidia card.
