Alright, I have a gtx 550Ti, and I am getting a R9 280 Monday. I want to know if I can use both graphics cards in my computer and use the 550Ti just to capture my gameplay, while I play the games with the 280. I have WIndows 8.1. Thanks for reading. My specs are:
CPU = AMD FX 6300

MB = Asus M5A97 R2.0

RAM = 8GB Crucial Ballistix 1600MHz

GPU = Gigabyte R9 280 3GB (previous; gtx 550Ti)

PSU = Antec HCG 900W

CASE = Unbranded

STORAGE = PNY XLR8 120GB SSD + Seagate Barracuda 250GB HDD + Seagate 160GB HDD
