I just installed a GTX 660 and have a Radeon HD 6850 left over. I also have two monitors. is it possible to have the 660 output to the main monitor and the 6850 to the second monitor? if it is, how would I do it?

My system:
i5-2500k @3.30 GHz
ASUS P8P67 LE
8gb G.Skill DDR3-1600
GeForce GTX660 2GB
Radeon HD 6850 1GB
60 GB SSD
500GB HDD

Yes you can assuming your PSU has enough power connectors and can supply enough.

You wont be able to game on both at the same time. Install the card and then install the drivers for it.

A gtx660 can handle 2 monitors just fine. To get a AMD and Nvidia card to work with both you have to use hacked drivers.

The PSU does. Ive tried installing the drivers but when I connect the 6850 to the 2nd monitor nothing shows on the screen.

Have you enabled extend desktop in the windows display settings?

Also, as dkulprit said, the 660 can run 2 screens on its own so...
