Hi

I just purchased a Biostar - TForce 6100-939 (running an AMD 4000+). The board has a NVIDIA GeForce 6100 + NF410 built in. I also own a Radeon x1600 pro card. Is it possible to get the combined power of both the on board (nVidia) and the Radeon video cards? Does this even make sense? Or am I simply driving my monitor by which ever port it is plugged into - either directly to the MoBo (hence the nVidia chip) or the PCI express installed Radeon card.

Thnaks

Quick reply: NO

nvidia SLI and ATI crossfire need two cards with the same core. You cant get one 6100 card to pair with the onboard.

as he said...no you can't use them together...and the monitor plug it into the mobo at first and disable the on board video and after that restart and plug it into the X1600
