Multiple GPU setup, AMD & NVIDIA

[John Artis]

I have the max number of monitors(3) hooked up to my r7 260x, but I wanted to add one more. I have a GT 640 & GT 440 in my drawer so I was wondering if I could use one of them with the fourth monitor. Also, would it affect the performance of my current card while gaming on a single monitor?

Specs:
AMD FX 6300
8GB HyperX Blu
Asrock 970 Extreme3 R2.0
XFX R7 260X Core Edition

you cannot use AMD and NVIDIA together if the 640 and 440 can SLI than use them in SLI

Are you sure? I was looking on the forums and there have been people using AMD cards for mining in their NVIDIA build. Also, don't you need the same chip and ram for SLI?

you can have them in the same build but you cannot use amd and nvidia together you will have to switch between cards
