Hi i own 2 monitors 23", 24" I am thinking of buy a 4870

short question: would the 4870 run one monitor and the 9800gx2 on the other?

long question: when i buy the 4870 would i be able to have the 4870 working on my 23" and my 9800gx2 working on my 24"? would i be able to use nvidia driver AND ati drivers? or is there a diff way?

would a 750W thermal take be enough to power those two beasts?

thanks for the replies and answers

Yes,Yes only if you stay with XP or 7,Yes. I would also look into using the 9800GX2 for Physx if you want.

how do you mean? (+repu btw)
use my 4870 as the main gpu fro both monitors and the 9800gx2 for physx only? would i notice much benefit from games?
if that the only way i could have them in the same comp and working? (monitor each or one as physx)

i am using Windows xp home

vista will not allow 2 gpu drivers from different co.'s, but physx is not that great, just use the 9800 as ur main card

how is windows xp about it?

Xp will allow it but i think a gx2 for physx is overkill lol

I dont know if this is good:P

You should format pc and install ati drivers and then nvidia drivers with physx.Then you set physx on in nvidia control panel

I dont know if im right LOL
