I am looking to add a discrete video card on my NVidia 430/6150 mobo.
I was pretty sure I was going with the 7600GT, but now the X1650XT is coming mid-october and it looks very promising (24-pipelines... No power connector). I will have to consider this card.
I have a couple of things I would like to make sure of concerning driver compatibility:
When I uninstall the NVidia drivers and install ATI drivers, will I still be able to boot with the integrated video chip using only default Windows video drivers? Or would there be a conflict with ATI drivers on the system? Booting with the integrated video could be useful if I had to take the ATI card out at some point.
I know I would not be able to run the integrated video and the discrete video card at the same time, as I would if the card was NVidia. But this doesn't bother me. I only want to drive one monitor and one TV.
Any other downside to mixing ATI discrete video with NVidia Integrated video?
Is there anybody here using an ATI X1XXX card with the NVidia 410/430-6100/6150 chipset. Anything special to report?
Thanks
