Hello everyone, and thank you so much for reading!
I have a PC with this motherboard- ASRock Z97 PRO4 (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bzbp99/asrock-motherboard-z97pro4). It has 2 PCI-e 3.0 x16 slots, but when one is occupied, the second runs at x8. Populating the first slot right now is a GeForce GTX 950 from EVGA (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FDx9TW/evga-video-card-02gp42956kr). My plan is to buy an AMD FirePro W4300 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814105058&cm_re=AMD_FirePro_W4300_100-505973-_-14-105-058-_-Product) and run the gamer in the x8 slot and give the workstation card the x16 because that's the important one and it gives more breathing room anyway.
What I need to know is if I can run both of this cards from different manufactures in the same PC for certain applications. I only have one monitor, so I'll have to run wires from both cards into different inputs.
I know its a strange question, which is why I couldn't find it, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again!
