Right now I have this motherboard, with a 4870X2 in the PCI-E 16x slot. There is also a PCI-E 4x slot currently unused. I was wondering if it's at all possible to put an nVidia card into the other PCI-E 4x slot to use for some games? Virtually all of my games work well with the 4870X2, but there are two where I'd much prefer an nVidia card, just because ATI driver support is horrible (Darkfall and FFXI).
Switching out cards back and forth doesn't seem feasible, I play a decent amount of Starcraft 2 right now also which I want my ATI card powering. I don't expect or want the cards to work together or anything, I kind of wish there was a way I could have both plugged in, and choose which one I want to use upon booting up. Is such a thing at all possible or not?
