It could work, but you may run into driver once in awhile.

am assuming this will happen with 460 but with the radeon am completely not sure what will happen. In theory it should work fine but that is it a theory.

yes it will work ... if you have the free pci-e slots ...
try to keep the one next to your nvidia card empty and put the amd cards in the other slots

i would also just install the driver under device manager, dont run the full installer for the amd/ati cards
because i know the nvidia installer already loads a GUI util on boot , you dont want both running.

also on cgminer i think is the command line switch -d 0 and -d 1
you will need to check the scrypt-readme to make sure you are able to disable the nvidia card from being mined on

good luck !!!

Thanks man will definitely try that.

I currently have a p7h57d-v evo motherboard which has 2 pciex16 and 3 pciex1 slots am going to have 2 gtx 780 in the pciex16 and am wondering if adding 1 to 3 cards connected to the pciex1 via pciex16 to pciex1 powered riser would be okay or am i risking the motherboard being unstable? What do I risk? My current psu suppport quad sli/crossfire but i will be using a separate psu for the additional Vcards.

Thanks

AMD and Nvidia drivers may interfere, will depend on cards models.

It works but you would run into driver configuration problem..
