can you use agp and pci cards at the same time?

[daven1986]

hi, i was wondering if i could put a pci card in and use that in conjunction with an agp card to have dual screens?

before you ask why, it is a long story! but either way, will this work?

thanks

my friend is doing this, running one monitor from a radeon 7000 for a desktop and his AGP x800xl runs games, you have to remember using cards that old as a second is now a bad plan, as drivers dont include them any more

so if i were to do this, what would i have to do to get the drivers to work?

thanks

just use older drivers that support it as long as they support the agp card

ok well i was thinking of using an FX5200 PCI card, and i have a 6800 agp card.

Yep. This should work.

With my current motherboard (see sig) you can have 3 cards: one each in PCI-E, AGP and PCI, potentially running 6 monitors!

I don't intend to try this by the way.

yea it will work but don;t expect crossfire/sli to work in that sort of config
