Possible to mine with ATI card and play games with NVIDIA card?

[ragingazn628]

I just put in an order for a gtx 690 - I was wondering if I can play games on the GTX 690 while I mine with the 7970?

Drivers conflict?

[grue]

yes, just set cgminer to use 7970.

Cool. It won't conflict with drivers or anything? I plan on putting the GTX 690 on the 16X GPU slot on my mobo and 7970 on the 3rd slot (I have Asus Maximus IV 4 GPU slots)

Shouldn't conflict. My home computer has a 5770 and a 6850 mining and I have my display connected to my old 8800 GT Plays games fine.

I game on my GTX 680 with nvidia drivers installed. Mining with a Sapphire 5850, don't install CCC though, just the drivers and TriXX

I am mining with a 7970 and a 580 at the same time. It works great for mining, gaming, movies ext.

I use Bitcoin Miners In Tray https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149442.0. My old Nvidia 285 is more or less running all the time with no monitor attached. My ATI HD 7950 has it's priority bounced up & down depending on weather or not I'm using the computer. Any game .exe's that get launched cause the 7950 to stop mining until I'm done gaming. Each video card has it's own instance of CGminer.

i'm doing it too, using guiminer with poclbm. ati 6870 mining fulltime, nvidia 560 mining when i'm not using it for gaming. still plays videos and such while it mines. no driver conflicts.
