5870 and 4670 together?

[Irondark]

Hi all,

My old XPS bit the dust a few months ago and warranty replaced it with an AW Aurora. Finally all that extended warranty I've paid over the years feels well spent.

Here's what I'm running, please let me know what you think.

There's where I am now. I usually game or watch Blu-Ray on the 1920x1080 and surf or whatever on the other.

What I'd like to do is get this Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 GDDR3 512MB (188-0BE88-001SA) in there as well so one card could run each display. I've been all over the net looking today and not had much luck. Figure this would be the best place to ask first.

If you got this far down, thanks for the read and hopefully someone can start me in the right direction.

Cheers!

Sure you can as long as you have two PCI-e slots.

You just won't be able to X-Fire them.

Should I remove all software first and reinstall after I put it in? Or is CCC smart enough to add it to the displays and install the driver as is?

 

[Irondark]

That's what restore points are for! Off i got to play.

AFK
Cheers!
