Mixing Nvidea and AMD

[evilpanda12345]

Hey guys well I recently built a new pc and am really happy with it. The thing is I need to be able to connect all my monitors to is and I unfortunatly can do that since I cannot connect 6 analog monitors to my gtx 970.

BTW here are the specs of my system:
-i7 4790K
-8Gb ram
-Gtx 970
-Asus Maximus IV Extreme
-750W

Can I connect my monitors to the old sapphire hd 3650 from my old computer and still use the gtx 970?

I'd imagine you could, but you might want to consider trying to use the Intel graphics.

How would that work though if there would be 6 monitors connected??

 

[ihog]

Well, you can connect 4 monitors to the 970 and 2 to the motherboard. Not everyone has been able to get both the iGPU and graphics card working at the same time, but I mean, you might as well try that first.

You generally cannot run integrated and discrete graphics at the same time. You technically can run both GPUs in the same computer, just don't plan on gaming on all of them.

I assumed he wasn't going to be gaming on all 6. evilpanda, if you're going to be gaming on all 6 monitors, you're gonna need to grab another 970.

Even if they weren't analogue monitors that wouldn't work as (in theory) only 3 monitors can be used in Surround vision. More to the point though, modern graphic cards can only run one analogue monitor at a time, the rest have to be digital.

No I would not be gaming on all of theses at once maybe ocasionaly on one and if so it would be the one connected to the 970. As for running both integrated and Nvidea graphics at the same time how would that work? would I hae to set anything up before I try?

OOh and all my monitors are DVI Digital + HDMI

 

[sours]

You can't... It doesn't work that way. Need SLI GPU for that. I also don't know if legacy ports are usable with that many monitors connected to the 970's, maybe someone else can chime in on that.

 

[evilpanda12345]

Is there any cheaper way to do it rather than SLI... Maybe a quadro ????
