EVGA GeForce GTX 750 and Nvidia Quadro 4000 on an ASUS m5a97 r2.0 motherboard

[Subhabrata Bhattacharya]

I have the following two graphics cards:

1. EVGA GeForce GTX 750 with G-SYNC Support 1GB GDDR5 128bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, HDMI,DP
2. NVIDIA Quadro K2000 2GB GDDR5

Both work individually with an ASUS m5a97 R2.0 motherboard (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A97_R20/gallery/) with a 750W power supply. However when I try to put both of them together (in their respective compatible slots), the computer boots up but no display comes up.

Is it possible to make them both work together?

NVIDIA Quadro graphics are for workstations, and they do not perform well in games. Why are you trying to use them both? You can not have two driver packs for each one in one system.

You can dual boot two systems with separate graphics and drivers.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I am not using the system for games. I am attempting to leverage GPU (CUDA) functionalities from both the cards. GTX 750 (512 CUDA cores) and Quadro K2000 (384 CUDA cores).

I understand that installing 2 drivers can lead to a conflict on the same OS (I am using Ubuntu 14.10). However, shouldn't one of the graphics card be detected during boot and at least show BIOS messages/Linux boot-up messages before loading the GUI?

I don't know, but if you want CUDA cores it's better to have one strong GPU.
