Using an AMD and Nvidia Card in Same PC

I couldn't find a answer on here or on the internet so I wonder if anyone here has tried it :D

Is it possible to have a Nvidia and AMD GPU's in the same PC?

(NOT to work in parallel!)

I.e. can you select a GPU to process a particular game.

In terms of setup, you could connect the nvidia GPU with a dvi cable and the AMD GPU with a displayport cable and set the monitor to auto-source. Whether it's possible to disable a particular GPU via software is the question/issue.

The simple way is to obviously shut down the PC and replace the GPU when required but it's way too much effort. Proudly haven't opened my PC in a year :)
 
Iv'e done it.

To launch a game on a particular gpu, change the display output to whatever Nvidia/AMD gpu you want to play the game through.

Nvidia gpu PhysX is disabled regardless whether it is only rendering on Nvidia or not when Nvidia driver detects AMD gpu in the system though.:(
