2 VGA but no crossfire, possible?

[nthscience]

My PC using mainboard P5Q PRO have 2 PCI Express slot, I also have vga card hd4670 which iDeneb still haven't supported yet, so I have some ideas, is it possible:

- I install HD4670 on first slot

- I'll buy a HD2600 or 8400GS ( supported on iDeneb) and install on second slot

Can I use Vista with first card and iDeneb with second card so I have full resolution.

My monitor have both DVI and VGA so I will connect every card to one port.

Is it possible ? Can iDeneb realize the card on second slot ?

 

( I really love HD4670 and I don't want to drop it )

You'll be happy to know, yes you can! Just read this post by Netkas: [HOWTO] Two cards, one supported by osx, another one is not.

i'm using such a scheme for a long time, ati 2600XT works in osx, and 4850 used in windows for games

 

So, in case somebody need to know how to make it work, I'll explain

 

For example you want to upgrade your gfx card to a one unsupported by osx still, and have old one which works fine in osx (e.g. 260gtx and 8600gt or 2600xt and 4850)

 

and u have motherboard with two pci-e x16 slots.

 

so, plug both cards into pci-e slots,

 

go to bios, set osx-friendly card to be inital graphics port (PEG, PEG2, PEG3, number means pci-e slot)

 

and once pc shows boot screen on osx-friendy card (e.g. 8600gt/2600xt) - it's almost done.

 

if osx-not-friendly card is nvidia and you use injector like a nvkush or natit, then u need to edit injector's plist and leave there only device-id of osx-friendly card.

 

in ati case, u dont need to do it.

 

now osx will work on your osx-friendly card.

 

configuring windows to use your new card as main display is easy task.

 

in case your LCD has two connectors (DVI and VGA(dsub)) u can connect one to osx-friendly card and another one to second card, so no need for cable repluging
