Ok im currently aware that Nvidia cards are best when running F@H
However im looking at getting an AM3 Mobo to try and get more out of my newly aquired X6 Phenom II 1090T.
So to that end ive been looking at the 890 FX series of AMD Motherboards and have seen a few that would suit my puropose but not my wallet.
So further investigation reveals a few 890 GX motherboards that may also suit my purpose but these come with onboard video.

So what im looking to find out is if i can run my Nvidia video cards whilst also running the onboard video.
What im hoping is by using the onboard video from the mobo i can squeze out some extra performance from the nvidia cards for Folding with.
So what im looking to find out is if it is possible to run both ATi and Nvidia GPU's in the same system without instabilities.
 
Yes you can run Ati and Nvidia cards in the same system. Not sure about onboard and discreet in the same system regardless of type though.

Well looking at the specs of the board

Onboard graphics will be ATI Radeon HD 4250

As for the nvidia cards

one is a 9800 GX2 and the other is a 8800GTS 512

would that make any differrence
