I just wanted to make sure before I ordered another one. It would be the exact model that I currently have and  would go in the other PCIe slot. My power supply can handle it. One card will be used for display/mining and the other just for mining.

Would this confuse the computer (Win7, Guiminer)?

Would I need to adjust any settings?

You'd need to have the cards in crossfire or the other card with a dummy plug or a monitor plugged in

No, your computer is not idiot.

Just install it, probably reinstall the driver and guiminer will recognize both.

Even on windows 7 and latest driver? As far as i know, no. Just install them, install drivers and done. Guiminer will recognize them.

Gui wouldn't recognize my 4870 without a dummy.

Sorry for being off-topic but can I mine with a 5870 and a 5970 under the same computer?  Will GUIminer recognize my cards and utilize the GPU(s) from each card for mining?  I know I won't be able to set it as crossfire due to different models.

GUIminer should pick up both cards as long as they both support OpenGL

Newer drivers don't require a dummy plug,, I have not used dummy plugs in a long time..
