Why mine with the nvidia instead of the ati?  The ati card will get a much better hash rate.

ive got both the cards installed now although it picks the nvidia one up as "standard VGA adapter", is there a way i can get this to read as a nvidia card?

Drivers?

unfortunately I don't know the model of the nvidia card, I'm downloading drivers now for what I think it is, hopefully this works :)

Your monitor plugged into the Nvidia and a dummy plug into the ATI and thats it. GUI Miner should pick up the ATI and the Nvidia should do the work for the games since its connected to the monitor.
