Both video cards will work happily in the same system. Each card will render only to their own respective attached monitor(s) though. You could run 2 monitors with 1 connected to each video card and play 1 3d game on each monitor and both gpu's would be working on their own respective monitor. No idea what would happen if you dragged a windows 3d game between 2 monitors though. Of course if your interest is gaming on 570 and mining on 5970, the same will apply. Install both drivers.
