Ignore the man. 11.6b drivers or later allow for up to 8gpus. Linux is the same way, its a driver limitation, not an os one. Title: Re: can i use 2 different cards?

There can be some mobo limitations, but I have several mixed rigs, including a HD5xxx/HD4xxx/Nvidia triple combo. Title: Re: can i use 2 different cards? Post by: dime on August 01, 2011, 06:09:20 AM dime@graendal:~> DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all

Yes you can, as long as you have enough pci ports, and you have enough space, if putting more than 2 cards in there - its always good to watch between spacing of pci slots.
