Paul_sursa,

To be more specific to TechyinAZ's answers (becuase I like to educate in my answers), it depends. You can run two different cards as long as they use the same drivers, I.E, you cannot run Radeon card with a NVIDIA card. However this ability is only compatible from Windows 7 up. Now I doubt your running Windows Vista or worse so you should have no problems otherwise. Please feel free to vote up my answer. Thanks!

It is possible to use two different graphics cards at the same time, but you can't SLI them, if that's what you're thinking. If they're both Nvidia, you can use one for, say DayZ, and another for CSGO. But you can't put both graphics cards to work on the same game unless they're the same graphics card, and you are using an SLI bridge.
 


Actually you can. As long as you have both the Nvidia AND AMD Radeon drivers installed, you can run both.
 


Really? So why does it work with XP then?
