2 Different Brand Graphic Card in One Pc

rizn81 · Feb 18, 2017

Hi All,
I know this a duplicate question but i have some confusion on this.
I have two Cards 1 is ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 Series 1GB and
recently i got Zotac 8400 Gen2 512MB 64bit ddr2 graphic card.
is it possible to have both of these cards installed at the same time ?
Thanks In advance.

If you're using windows it should be alright. You may see strange things happen when you drag a window from one cards display to the other cards display.

If you're worried about them messing up, no that won't happen. One's not going to fry the other or anything.

The question is why would you attempt this? While you can probably have both cards installed and functioning at the same time, you cannot use the two cards in conjunction with each other in some sort of multi-GPU configuration; meaning you cannot have them working on the same task at the same time to increase performance.

You should be ok, but unless you're lacking in video ports, I'd probably just use two outputs from one card. That way you don't have to worry about possible driver conflicts or power issues.
