More Information

I currently have an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium. I would like to run two different graphics card... but only one a time...

Is there a way that I can use my second PCI-E 16x slot to install the other card, and then when I reboot to go into the bios and disable the PCI-E slot that I don't want to use? (ie to toggle between activating PCI-E slot 1 or 2? So I wouldn't be using SLI, I'd just being using one card at a time, with the other PCI-E slot disabled... so I'd have 2 PCI-E gfx cards installed and choosing which PCI-E slot (and therefore which graphics card) to use).

Please don't worry about why I would want to do this, its complicated... just wondering if there is a way... Thanks!!
