Different Nvidia cards in same machine
Hi!
I currently have a 7800GTX w. TV-out and is looking to buy a 260GTX but have a hard time finding a Core 216 with TV-Out I like. My question to you is, could I possibly have both cards installed in my machine and use the old just for the TV-Out? I know I can't SLI them, but could the above scenario work? And while at it, if I could use both cards like that, could the old one do physics or is it to old?? Best Wishes Thomas

Physx is G80 or above only (8800 series+); otherwise it's only useful for driving many displays. Saw your other thread too, usually a single card setup is better overall.

Yes and that's what I aim for, as you've guessed using the two cards is only an emergency solution in case I can't get hold of what I want. Right now it seems very hard to get those cards :/ Best Wishes Thomas
