Long time reader, first time poster...

I would like to do the following and am wondering if it was possible.

3 Monitors.

Main Screen - Running off of a 4870.
Smaller Side Screens - Running of x1900xt.


Basically, have the newer Card power the main screen, which would display any gaming or graphics intensive stuff. And have the older card power the two side screens which would be used for web browsing etc.

Does anyone know if both could be running at the same time or will they cause issues?

Thanks.

That should be fine. If you are running Vista, be aware that you need all GPUs to run off the same video driver (which should not be an issue for the models you described).
